A. Morning Musings

I do not have Internet access this morning, so there is no update for the weather or news.

C. Actual/Note

8:00 PM We arrived home about 3 PM. We hit snow just south of Red Deer and it stayed with us for the remainder of the trip. Fortunately the roads remained wet rather than icy so the driving was not too bad.

8:10 PM Here are two more photos showing the beginning of the spring activity of the May tree in our backyard.

10:50 PM Yikes! While updating this web site to reflect the fact that I had just finished reading the Rudy Wiebe memoir, I realized that since returning from Mexico I had failed to continue scanning the covers of the Literature books that I have read. I have updated my Notes Index for the two books I read while in Mexico and hope to complete this task tomorrow morning for the books I have read since our return.
