While it has been a slow news week, the weather – continuing warm today – has been the major story locally.
We had a couple days of light snow that turned into fairly heavy rain(!) this past week. However, today felt more like spring than the middle of winter.
The moisture was welcome but it’s still very dry. In fact, today we raked the lawn, trying to reduce the level of dry grass the dogs and cats are carrying into the house. Both species love to get out and roll in the dead grass and some of it comes in with them.

Temperatures approached the 50 degree mark and the day was sunny with no wind, great conditions for spending some time outside!
Our pets continue to entertain us. The other night one of the cats, Cirrus, was playing with his tail. (Not the first time.) I tried to catch some of it on video and, of course, he quit just as I was starting to record him. Click on the link below to view a short clip:
Here are two of the cats, London (left) and Velvet (right) sharing a napping spot:

Of course they were cuter until I approached with the camera…
Both of us have been busy at work with the start of the new year. A new semester always means more work for Pam, and my fiscal budget kicks off for 2018. One of my projects, nearly complete, has been the re-coding of our company intranet site to change it from its .asp roots to straight html. I tried to find a vendor who would take on this project but no one wanted to touch it. I had to do it myself and the resulting site has turned out well, but there are some minor tweaks still to be completed.
That sort of wraps it up; no other real news from the past week. Next week is likely to be similar but check in anyway!
That’s it for now. Thanks for looking in!
(Pam has no additional comment this week.)
