Snow Train

The down side of living south of the railroad tracks is the wait for the train to pass. It is uncanny how often the train and I want the right of way at the same time. There is a second crossing to the east, but it is the long way around.

The snow is history now, with temperatures in the high 60's and low 70's yesterday. The farmer pruned the grape vines, and is working on his equipment to get ready for spring planting. It is too soon to start, but any warm day is a good opportunity to begin.

I have just two more weeks at the quilt shop. I haven't quilted much since Christmas. More time goes to the clinic. We are losing one physician who was filling in while waiting to begin in New Mexico. She was great. Our locums will finish at the end of this week. We will be down to the core group until the new residents finish and join us in July, August, and November. Hope to keep our heads above water by working behind the scenes to make things easier. I wonder if chocolate chip cookies for the staff would help. It can't hurt.
