Tuesday March 21st

What a difference a day can make … The temperature this morning is 62°. The high today is going to be closing in on 80°. Welcome to spring.

Once again, it’s totally overcast. That’s pretty much been the story of this winter.. mostly cloudy.

I’m sitting on the front porch watching the grandkids wait for the bus. Watching the traffic go by and remembering what it was like when we first moved out here 30 years ago. At that time you’d only see a car go by once in a great while. Now it’s a constant stream of traffic.

least the house is no longer right up by the road. If I had to listen to the traffic constantly going by it would probably drive me up a wall.

Another sound that has become very annoying.. The beep.. beep.. beep of the construction critters working in the new subdivision just a few hundred yards past the neighbors across the street. The front few streets are in.. but the back 2/3 of the subdivision are still being laid in. So we still got a few months of beep.. beep .. beep.. before that sound goes away and it becomes the sound of hammers.

The sound that has become most prevalent since they’ve stripped the vegetation off of the hundred acres.. is the roar of the trains that go up and down the tracks along Highway 6.

Well, here comes the bus.. so I guess I’ll catch y’all on the other side…

Just so everyone doesn’t think that I live under a perpetual cloud.. here’s what it looks like outside right now…

Though the weather prognosticators are telling me this won’t last…
