Ice is SO PRETTY!

 Ok, it's also slippery and dangerous...

but yesterday Kyle and I braved the road

and drove down to Malay's (grocery store)

and while there we picked up a bag

of de-icer stuff. (basically salt...)

In the meantime, there is ice built up

on all the branches on the tree outside

my front window.

But also, we keep a humidifier running

in the living room because it's DRY here.

So some of my windows are covered

in condensation most of the time.

But then overnight it freezes into 

the most amazing designs.

Of course, today it's currently 35.

So nothing is frozen.

And that's nice too.

The weather is slowly warming up

and the snow is getting slushy, which means

it will probably be gone in a few days.

(Except, of course, where the sun NEVER

hits it, like along the side of the garage.)

I'm doing fine.

I sit in my chair and read, crochet, or watch YouTube

most of the time anyway, so I'm not even noticing

anything different.

But the GUYS are going NUTS!

Hahahaha.

Kyle just headed into Hays to Home Depot

to get the wire so he can move on to the 

next step in getting his house done.

Rod has been working with Ford Credit

and the court house trying to get a copy

of the title for our Ranger (still financed)

so we can get it inspected by the Sheriff

(make sure it's not stolen since it's from

out-of-state) and then the county can issue

a paper tag.

It's been sitting in the driveway since before

Christmas with NO TAG because Florida made

us mail them all back.

We have tags for everything else,

but I miss the truck!

(It will be nice to have it for the drive to

church on Sunday and a trip to Wichita on Tuesday.)

Speaking of trips.

I'm "hoping" to hear from the lady at Vital Farms

to verify there is a new farmer meeting on the 

15th. If there is, we will drive to Wichita on Tuesday for

my biometrics and then on to Springfield for

the meeting on Wednesday.

We will stay there overnight so we aren't rushed

to speak with the vendors and company reps.

And then drive back home on Thursday.

Hopefully the weather will allow for Jim to

join us! (He plans to drive up, but there is a

storm brewing between here and there...)

Anyhow.

I'll keep you posted on that as we get closer.

(Emily, my company contact, is at a trade show

until Friday, so I'm kind of in a holding pattern...)

The story of my life.
