Cough, cough....hack...hack!

The inmates of Casa Manana have contracted the flu/virus/misery/you name it! I came down with it first and now himself has entered the realm of the "wish I were dead," very sick people. The worst part is the racking cough that prefers night time to make one miserable. The good thing is that one will definitely lose the Christmas cookie weight 'cause who wants food? Today the newspapers warned against pneumonia from it as that is what it eventually gets to be. Oh, the joys of winter.

This collection of icicles is from a couple of days ago....in the last two days we've gotten about 6 more inches of snow. Lovely to look at and very wet! Spring should be glorious this year if this moisture keeps up. I'm tempted to go out and spread wildflower seeds in the snow even if it is a little early. There is no guarantee that we'll get more snow like this again. Some of the tulip bulbs have poked their leaves up due to being too near the surface and the warm weather we were having a couple weeks ago.
