No snow in my yard anymore! The last of it melted today, but the front yard has been clear since last Friday!

But it is Wisconsin and we can still get snow even in May.

In MA, I recall some biggie snowstorms on or around St. Patrick's Day (March 17). I also remember a big storm in early April -- think it was called the April Fool's Day blizzard! :joyfull:

So, winter isn't over yet. :inlove:

@donaldtoo , I noticed in one of the TR threads, you mentioned that Bell-ee Crazy Cakes turned 7 yesterday.

Happy Belated 62nd (dog years) Birthday to Belle!!! 🐶 :happy:

Oh, last minute and all, but I ran around the neighborhood early this morning to find some friends to invite to Belle's belated birthday party (photo attached). If a few look a little tired or disinterested, it's only because of the early hour I got them together, for the group photo! :hilarious:

That's true. Some that knew that lived in New England were saddened that their vacation was delayed in March at times when they could not get out on time from Logan to MCO/Orlando or Daytona Beach for spring break.

I failed my driving test, which I think is actually a good thing. I really didn't feel ready to drive here by myself. The Dutch manner of driving is just too different and really stressful for me. So now I have more time to practice, and I really don't like my driving instructor. He makes me feel stupid when I drive like I would in the US and he shames me for that kind of stuff. He's really condescending. We called early on and asked if I could switch instructors, but they said they were too full and didn't have anyone with an opening because of corona. But I had already given them the authority to schedule a test for me, etc, so I couldn't switch schools. Now that the test is over, I can switch schools and try to find a better click, someone who doesn't make me feel nervous already as soon as I sit in the car.

My recollection of the 10 years previous to my moving was that we had at least one major storm every March.

On the lighter side it was almost 80 degrees here yesterday and a beautiful clear sunny day. I went of another one of my "I'm bored to death" road trips. 140 mile circle this time. I went through a couple of small towns between Raleigh and I-95 (one was named Micro) that consisted of, at least 90% mobile homes and it appeared that there was a Baptist Church for every third building I went by. Small, poor but Religious. I don't have any problem with mobile home living. In fact that time after my divorce, I had purchased a mobile home and lived comfortably there for the 10 years previous to my move to NC. It was just so amazing to see mobile homes everywhere. Parks, along streets where one would usually see houses. Most were in very nice condition and not an eyesore, but surprising. I even had to take to the side of the road twice to let halves of double wide's being transported fit on the road. I think I stumbled upon the mobile home capital of the world. Considering this wasn't that far inland from the ocean I am amazed that some had been there for a long time regardless of hurricanes and major storms with tornado's. I did see one place with a mobile home that was at least 40 years old quietly standing right next to (no more than 20 feet away from two large trees that were obviously knock down by some storm activity.

Sorry about the travel log! My original intent was just to comment on March storms in New England and got carried away. There is a very good chance that only the first sentence applies to the quote.

Good luck finding a new teacher
