It's become something of a tradition around Lucy's birthday to ask her what she wants to be when she grows up! For example, at three years old she decided she was going to be a bunny rabbit. Last year the little miss said she wanted to drive an aeroplane like mommy and daddy, who both hold single-engine pilot's licences. So tonight during our family time before she went to bed, I posed the question, and after thinking for a while she decided that what she most wanted to be was "someone who makes picture like Grandpa!" Needless to say I was delighted and was experiencing a certain swelling in the chest when she qualified that by adding, "but not a dancer like Mommy 'cause thats really, really hard!" Ah! Erm! Thanks Lucy. I think!
She is wonderfully merciless!
Where the heck did this blizzard come from?!? I had NO idea until it started snowing last night.
Our ever so safety minded mayor announced a delayed opening for City offices of 10 am. Oh, like that's going to help. So, since City offices aren't closed today, neither are we. We also are not opening until 10 am.
It's sleeting now on top of the fallen snow. And ... the snow plows are just skimming the surface of the roads. Haven't seen any salting or brine being spread ... even though it's supposedly started when the snow started falling.
Needless to say, I won't be going into work today. I do have my laptop home so could telecommute, but that hasn't been made a policy yet. Soo ... it's a vacation day for me. I don't drive in snow anymore ... especially since they don't plow most of my commute until a few days after it's snowed. I also won't risk falling on slick sidewalks anymore. Not since I slipped and fell last winter. While my knee has improved, it still gives me a lot of trouble.

Tsuki thinks this is really great fun. She keeps running over to the balcony doors to watch the blowing sleet. A ledge runs the width of the balcony door above the floor that you have to step onto or over to get out onto the balcony ... which surprisingly, is awkward ... at least for me! It's not as deep as a stairstep , but it's as high. But, it's absolutely perfect for Tsuki. She sits on the floor and props her front legs on the ledge, rather like she's sitting at a desk. It's the funniest thing.
and ... caught her!
and ... caught her!

If I were still working Satira I, too, would've taken a vacation day, though there not that bad about plowing the streets around here. We only got about 6 inches of snow in some areas. I'm not sure we got that much in this neighborhood, but we definitely got huuuuuge turbulent winds, and ice. I thought my windows were wet with rain when I got up around 10:00 this morning, but it was ice, and it's finally looking like rain now, so it must've warmed up enough to start melting.
I went to the store yesterday and picked up a few things, so have no plans of going out today. Hopefully they'll finish clearing the sidewalks around here so I can do my weekly shopping tomorrow. I only have to walk one block, so shouldn't be too bad as far as snow goes. I'll just have to be careful of any ice, so we'll see.

Not too bad here today either! Cool breeze but otherwise a lovely early Spring day. I'm fair tempted to go and sit on the beach in me string vest tomorrow! 
Yes. Those of you where the weather is nice and balmy, or even just NOT chilly ... please do soak up some of that sun for those of us snowed in. This is the craziest weather ... one week it's in the 60s, and people are bouncing around like it's spring, the next it's freezing and people are bundled up like it's the dead of winter!
No matter how hot it is, I can't ever throw off the covers at night! For some unfathomable reason, Tsuki believes that exposed feet need to be attacked. It's rather annoying!
Those in snow, sleet or rain...stay safe and warm!
Here in Melbourne we've had a glorious warm week for the first week of Autumn. Today as I drove home my car was saying the outside temperature was 36 degrees celsius. Wasn't too hot but it was a very lovely day...

No panting required in the night...not sure twas a good thing or nay.
But the day is GLORIOUS!!! And I am seeing it much too early on account of day #?? of mad social whirl. Only love for a friend (and the prospect of a haircut) could get me up this early. Coffee should assist in reconciling me to the morn and cream in said coffee will assist in said reconciliation.
