Back in Wisconsin tonight.  Hated to leave Florida, it has been such a great winter in south Florida.   And we had another great 10 days.   We have good friends we enjoy spending time with and the time was special.   Noel and JoAnn spent a weekend with us and we had a very relaxing weekend including a picnic at the pool.  And ended with a St Patrick’s day dinner.

And actually coming back to 38 degrees was not bad.  Certainly better than every other time this winter!  And I am very surprised at how much snow has melted in the last 10 days.  Although we saw cars driving on the lake when we got home, the water under the ice is probably 34 degrees, so that will be with us for awhile.  Although it looks like we could use some melting of culverts and ditches so some water can continue to run off.  And it looks like my neighbors may have been working on getting the ice off our road, which is in better shape than I thought it could be at this point.  So if Spring is really coming that will be welcome by all of us.

So now getting back to our regular life, what ever that is!  I will check out the house and yard tomorrow. And I have some issues at work to dive into.   But hopefully it won’t take much to get back into the groove.  And we have a weekend beer festival at the Heidel House to look forward to.  So life continues to be good, even if not as warm.
