Flagstaff Fridays

Yesterday my internet went out and I felt like a duck out of water. I decided not to go to the library or coffee shop to finish up my work, but it's kind of funny how my household came to take this internet thingy for granted. "I'm going to go check the weather maps... " "I'm going to go to iTunes..." on and on and on. I can't complain, I was the main culprit. Sigh.

Big snow storm here, yesterday I took a quaint photo of my daffodils in the pre-storm little snow. This morning they are covered by five inches of snow with five more inches expected. I hope my cheery daffodils make it through the snow. Sigh.

From Jack:

Just a reminder:
We have two Rio de Flag walks this weekend. We never ask folks to drive through a snow storm or in icy conditions to get to a start location. If the conditions are bad please don't venture forth.
We can always reschedule
