Weather of a dynamic sort

So much fun with this crazy weather. Sun, sleet, snow, rain. Last weekend we were in Hall visiting Monique's folks. First time taking the truck on a road trip, and it did great. It was good seeing her parents, too, as it had been over a year since I spent time with them.

The electric co-op was by this week to clear trees. Sad to see young and healthy trees felled because one day they'll be tall enough to interfere with power lines. Over the next few years I'll be more vigilant and make sure young 'uns growing in the ditch are transplanted someplace nice and safe.

The wind's been amazing, and giant clumps of snow crash off the roof. Oh, and the turkeys are starting to rap on the windows. We may try cardboard cutouts of foxes propped in the windows to dissuade the goofballs. And think, Franklin wanted the turkey as our national bird. At least, that's what I think I remember from 5th-grade history.
