In which the rain in Maine falls mostly on the snow

[rolanni]

So yesterday Steve had a doctor's appointment, after which we achieved K(entucky) F(ried) C(hicken) for a take home lunch (hot grease and salt still do the trick, and that's the second KFC meal in four months.  Given that KFC is the Ultimate Comfort Food, and reserved for times of stress, we'll hope that the next is a long time in the future).

After lunch, Steve hit the mattress.  I finished getting the InfoDump in order, then sacked out on the couch, where Trooper joined me.  May I just say?  Trooper gives excellent nap.

Once we were all awake again, we reviewed one of our favorite documentary films, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, before supper, read aloud a chapter of Chanur's Legacy, and so to bed.

A strenuous day.

Today, there is checkbook wrangling, and writing, and laundry on the schedule.

Also, watching the rain disappear the snow:

I hope everyone has an excellent Friday.

We have sighted actual grass in our neighborhood.

There are swaths of straw under some of the trees, here at the Cat Farm. The lawn is still pretty much covered, however, the daffodils, which are planted against the part of the foundation that the sun (when it deigns to show itself) warms first, are trying their best to grow. I doubt we will have flowers this year.

How many weeks are we behind the season?

Judging by the canoe race schedule, two or three weeks behind.
