A blizzard sets in and the rain / snow continues

Well as you think Spring is in the air again this week we got a blizzard which is like a cold front, but because the temps are higher at this time of year, we tend to get a snow / rain mix and things get quite sloshy out there. My jetta got stuck twice on Friday but with a little bit of back and forth between reverse and the sports gear mode I managed to get it out and back onto the road. Sunday looks to be a better day and should be a lot more fun outdoors.

We had some friends over for dinner last night and we made pizza's from the dough and a handful of Margarita's to follow the pizza, followed by Melva pudding and ice cream. It was a great evening and we had a lot of fun, I can still feel it this morning.

I need to get out into the garden and put the fertilizer down so that the grass will look great into summer this year. I managed to repair a lawn mower and so now have a almost new machine for $25 versus having to buy a new one for $300 so that felt good and was a great weekend project. When the lawn is cut and green I will post the photographs in a week or two.
