A frost again this morning, though it didn't take long for the sun to chase it away, transforming the house roof from cold white crystal to steaming black slate by the time I got back for breakfast.

Hope everyone else can soon say goodbye to winter too.

With 2" of rain this morning I had to utilize the AWD of the Subaru and travel through lots of water and mud and make detours to get the ingredients from town to make Sweet Potato Brownies. Eric, have you heard of her, she is from your side of the pond? Sweet Potato Brownies | Deliciously Ella

Her cookbook is #1 in the UK and #4 on US Amazon. Pretty good considering its "healthy" plant based.

Delicious Ella ? My dentist recommends an occasional piece of eye candy instead of sugary food - think he would approve on both scores.

29F, mid-40's today and low around freezing tonight. Could get some real melting going today and tomorrow when it doesn't take half the day to get above freezing.

The 5-8 inches of snow is still in the Saturday forecast. Saturday is Town Meeting day. I don't think there are any contentious issues this year.

I'd say Ella is pretty too.

30 out this AM, hit 65 yesterday. That was uncalled for. Major melt. Have serious ponding in the pastures. Driveway is mush. More rain expected this week. Today as a matter of fact. Lots of water for this time of year.

40 heading to 60 with rain.

Birds are starting to sing their springtime songs and bluebirds are staking out their houses.

Taking Coco to the vet early this morning for checkup and inflamed paw - maybe too much hiking on icy snow. Then hit the gym and grocery store.

That's a long time to be stuck in traffic.
I've been in a few jams where everything is at a complete standstill and after a while people turn the engines off, get out and start talking to one another. Becomes quite a social event until someone finally spots the traffic moving up ahead and it's then a scramble to get back up the road into your own vehicle. Does that happen in the States ?

Eric, that's been my experience getting stuck on I-95 and on the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel a few times. I've seen tailgate parties form.

I am a GM guy, but we bought a new Jeep Patriot for my wife. She loves it, and I was surprised at the features for the price. A small 4x4 for $23K.

The 4WD Latitude version looks interesting. For small to mid-size it's always a question of how flat do the rear seats fold. By the pics online they don't look too bad.

What made you choose the Patriot over an Chevy Equinox or GMC Terrain?

Morning everyone, 35F this morning heading to a predicted high of 45F.

good morning all, reporting in from Milton Delaware, a nice small town inland from Lewes Delaware, fairly near the coast. Got the table loaded up after a very trying day, including an amazingly incompetent UHaul dealer who after five swipes of my credit card, could not get the paper work right. I finally gave him a check. He also checks out airplanes at the little airport where the rental trucks were; wouldn't want this guy giving directions for any flight tower for sure.

rain predicted here today so I think I'm going to have a wet ride home. Ok, wash a little of the salt off the truck. Should take about six hours taking my time and oh so much less traffic. 75 degrees expected in Washington, nice day to go home to. And maybe those tree holes may have drained out by now and I can plant the last 11 trees before it rains again.

Always fun to visit family and friends, always good to get home.
