STALLED

We are almost at the end of Easter weekend - only 1 day left. It has been a wonderful weekend. It provided a much needed break from work. However, we were hoping to do work of another kind, but Mother Nature had other ideas. We woke up on Friday ready to go to work on our lot. When I opened the door to let Oscar out he just looked up and me and I had to help him out the door. Apparently he didn't like the idea of walking through snow. He, like us, was under the illusion that spring had already arrived. None of us were very willing to go back to winter conditions. We went out and did some work, but it was wet and snowy, so we didn't do too much. Saturday arrived with more snow and very cold, strong winds. It was a day only good for staying indoors. This morning when I opened the door for Oscar I was pushing snow with the screen door. We had about 4-5 inches of fresh, white, fluffy snow. By this point we had given up any hopes of working on our lot. By lunch the wind had died down so we were able to go for a walk. Of course we followed the usual route by the house. While we were going by we checked the doors to see if it was unlocked (the keys were supposed to arrive at our house yesterday). The owner's son has been working on cleaning it up before we take possession so he must have left it open. Anyways, we went in and had another look around. It turns out there is not as much work to do as we originally thought. Can you hear my wallet sighing with relief? Of course there are always things one wants to do, but some of those will come later. Time to get out the pen and paper and do some more planning and figuring.
