We have our first real snow on the ground today. We have had some flurries prior to this, but nothing significant enough to stay on the ground. The locals are all telling us that the snow is late this year, usually arriving early- to mid-October. There are about three inches on the ground, on top of wet rocks and gravel...so needless to say it is slippery as heck out there! I have my ice tracks somewhere in the house. I know I unpacked them. I just don't remember where the heck I put them, LOL! Sigh...another Senior's Moment.
I took my grade 7's out for a walk with Louisa today for our exercise period. We walked up to the cemetary and used the opportunity to talk about remembering those who have died and thus Remembrance Day. The school will be closed for the day, so a nice breather mid-week. It will be welcome, as the kids have been squirrely for the past couple of weeks. And now I'm squirrely, as the report cards are due on Tuesday. I will be spending the bulk of the day at the school on Saturday and Sunday, marking, writing reports, and planning for the week. Well, I would have been there anyhow, I'll just be there a bit longer than usual.
It sure is getting dark earlier and earlier. When I help out at Bingo, it is dark when I leave just after 6:00 pm. When I walk to school in the morning just after 7:00 am, it is still black. But we all get an extra hour of snooze time now that the clocks will roll back, so hurray!
Not much else is new, so I'll sign off for now. Love and hugs to all!
