So I looked at my blog and thought, "Why is it in blue? I really don't like blue all that much." So I changed it to green. But wait, I really don't like green either. But I do like green trees and the green of spring and summer. And since we are in the midst of winter where colors are white, brown, and white, maybe it is a way to feel a little bit hopeful for spring to come. I know it's still January, but one can hope, can't one? I was amazed at how green California was after all the rain they had in the month of December. It almost did look like spring there.
We've already done a good share of snow driving this season. Before Christmas we had to chain up three times in just one week. It is not my favorite time to drive. And since my black ice scare last March, I'm a little more hesitant about driving on snow and ice.
Last week we drove through Missouri, Illinois and Indiana through a significant snow storm. The temperature was in the low 20's and teens so the snow was very dry and, in a lot of ways, safer to drive on then the wet stuff.
We made it through fine, but our truck is covered in salt and dirt from the salt and sand solutions that is put down. Today it we were in Arizona where the temperatures actually warmed up into the 40's so that the last of the ice still on the grill, trailer, and the back of the mirrors, was able to melt. The highlight of our day!
