Winter is Back

The Ridge

On Tuesday, Apr. 15th we all slept in again. Bill and Gibbs were up around 6:30 but when I re-woke around 7, Gibbs was sound asleep beside me and Bill was obviously sleeping downstairs. 😁 Neither of us had to go anywhere today so a lazy day it became. 

Good morning!
Although this is the lovely picture
I was graced with at last night's sunset.

The weather outside was 'frightful', our so-called spring has yet again given us a jolt to our system. I can't help but think of the young gal that I saw in short shorts just yesterday, what a shock this must be for her! I could hear the rain starting at 7:30 just before crawling out of bed. It was supposed to turn to snow by late morning or early afternoon. Just great. LOL

Bill worked on his blog at the
coffee table, giving me room at the table.
Gibbs slept.

At one point during the day, Bill checked the propane tank and it was still  good to go. When one empties, we have two 40-lbers, he gets it refilled so we never run out. Soon, we can tally up what we've used since returning home and soon, the temperature will rise. I believe it to be true!! So, today, I stayed indoors and brought out my paper quilling materials. I'm so pleased that I have this to do as I love the craft.😍

It is hard to tell in these pictures,
but there was light blowing snow
enough to keep us indoors.

A gray sky, all day.
We saw the sun and a thumbprint
of blue for a few seconds and that was it.

Bill could see no point in going to the Hangar to continue his purge/cleanup as it would mean running the electric heater to try and keep warm. Our forecast today was to be a chilly 4C/40F but it didn't get any warmer than -1C/30F all day. The strong wind gusts were enough to keep it from climbing. Between 30 and 35 mph off and on all day.

My Easter creation.
That is supposed to be an Easter egg
and a cross. At least my chicks and bunny
look real!

Bill did sit and write a blog post today, which you can check out here, and I managed to create a fun Easter card, just because. We had bacon and eggs for lunch and after cleanup, I went back at my fun while my boys had their snoozes upstairs until supper time. Gibbs isn't interested in staying out very long today, he understands cold too!

I also spent a bit of time, in between
reading and sitting with Gibbs, transferring the
pictures from Bill's laptop to mine.
Mid February to mid April, that's a lot of my
photos!

Supper was fully cooked Schneiders ham, just a small one, heated up in Rosy, the air fryer. I cooked some mini yellow potatoes and Brussel Sprouts on the stove and corn in the microwave. Bill never gets tired of his corn and I guess I can say the same for my vegetables. 😋 After dishes, I finished my blog post and we each found a movie to watch. 

Supper was wonderful.
We'll be having a big meal on the weekend,
so thought we'd have our ham dinner 
today.

With the bitter cold overnight temps reaching -4C/24F, we can only hope it will be too cold for it to snow. We have had quite enough in our short time home. Bill said today that even if we had waited a week to return as we originally planned, we would have had to deal with this 'winter' return. Be grateful for what we have and where we are, so we are doing our best! 

Saw this on Facebook and I
thought it was so true!
Good night!
