Wonders of winter....

It snowed some more yesterday afternoon and then the temperature went to 27 degrees, so the Interstate was freezing and thawing and refreezing during rush hour. I left the hospital at 4:20 and turned into my driveway at 6:00, twice as long as usual. Saw three wrecks where people had slid off the road. Ugh. I remember, as a small child, being very excited as a very big storm dumped more and more snow on the ranch. It was beautiful to wake up and have the world covered with a new blanket of unsullied whiteness. It was fun playing in the deep snow. And I remember feeling a little sad that my mother did not seem to share my joy and the new world. Now I know why! But a side benefit of leaving the heat lamp on in the chicken house is we got an egg yesterday... Ok, enough complaining. Gotta get ready to go to work again...
