Straight into the ground…

… Minnesota Weather Update: It hasn’t snowed in over a week now. The lawn service guys were out doing their preliminary spring cleanup, which is usually a sign that it’s not going to snow anymore. We’ve finally had weather warm enough again to open the windows, but it was raining so I still couldn’t open the windows. Unless I want rain in my house and we have enough problems with water pouring in where it… Keep reading…Straight into the ground…

Here come the rising tide…

We had a record breaking four days straight of eighty-some degree weather. Today it’s forty degrees colder with rain and tomorrow we’re supposed to get anywhere between two and six inches of snow. We’ve been under a Red Flag fire weather watch for most of the week, but I think that has been negated for the time being with this rain. Every river in the area is under a flood warning as they are rapidly… Keep reading…Here come the rising tide…

Never gonna make it stop…

I was digging through some folders in the black hole that is my hard drive and found this…screenshot? showcasing ADHD versus reality, and while I have no idea where I found it or who created it in the first place (Whoo! Etch-a-Sketch brain!) it struck me (probably in the same way it did when I first found it…whenever that was) how well it explains……this. And by that, I mean the hot mess of a website… Keep reading…Never gonna make it stop…
