Snow...Rain...Blue Skies - It Must be March

Snow, rain and blue skies all in one day - it must be March.

I stopped just before leaving HAFB south gate tonight and loved the soft clouds blanketing the tops of the mountains. The camera just couldn't capture the sight.

Craving Flowers

"Spring is just around the corner," so the saying goes. I just wanted to hurry it up. I stopped by the grocery store and bought some flowers to bring indoors.

Antique bottles on the window sill.

Daylight Savings Time

It is so hard to adjust to Daylight Savings Time!  Will I ever fall asleep at a decent hour??  (Not so far this week.) Once the hour is gone, where does it go? Is it in a bank somewhere - a huge deficit of hours hidden away? Turning all my clocks ahead one hour is just a reminder that an hour has disappeared, never to be seen again. But I have to admit that I like the longer days of light:)

Before going to bed very late Saturday night, I set my alarm clock one hour ahead. When I got up the next morning I realized that I was so tired the night before that I hit the clock time button twice, adjusting the time to two hours ahead instead of one, and ended up getting up TWO hours early!

A few years ago in the Fall I remember setting all the clocks in the house back an hour and went to bed. In the morning  Mike also set all the clocks back  - so we were TWO hours LATE!

Lady Bug, Lady Bug...Fly Away Home

Miss Lady Bug came to visit me at work today. Took a couple of macros.

Pixie Face & Carrie's Birthday

My mother told me again, today, the story of Ben Lomond's pixie face. She says you know you're going to have a good day when you can see the pixie face on Ben Lomond Peak. Can you see it? I can.

Also, it was Carrie's birthday today. Jared surprised her by restoring a BW Yamaha Motorcycle. Uh, I don't think the stickers or the pink helmet are original!

Does this look fun, or what??

Doree and Eee-pc

Matt and Amber dropped by tonight and brought their puppy, Doree. She's a beautiful 3-month-old apricot-colored cockapoo.

Matt brought over his netbook tonight. It's a Asus Eee  Pc. It'a about 10" wide. Matt loves taking this to his classes at WSU.

A Good Bye..er...Buy

Family Fresh Foods is located in Ogden and is the only store in Utah that doubles coupons every single day. I decided to check it out. I gathered up all my coupons and headed out. While going up and down the aisles it reminded me of a time many and years ago when I would pick up my friend who had bad health and we would drive to Bowmans in Kaysville. They used to double coupons there. I remember one time when the cashier called out "SIXTY DOLLARS!!!" as loud as she could. That's the amount I had saved in doubling my coupons that day.

I saved just over $30 today. I got the gum for nine cents! The toothpaste for .89 and three packages of Bayer Aspirin for .59 each, and the packages held double the amount. I used the $30 I saved to purchase some freeze dried milk and powdered honey for our food storage.
