Ah, yes, melting snow. Today we went for a walk to pay the loan payment,
and to volunteer with the kids at the Salvation Army. We had to slog
through unshoveled sidewalks, and at one point Judson took me across
someone's front lawn, yes believe it or not, the front lawn had no snow, but
their sidewalk was not shoveled! So we took a bit of a detour. Good dog
Judson.
Tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful again and then it is supposed to rain
the next day so we shall see.
Judson and I both have allergies to Mold, but have the Benedril at the
ready, great stuff.

The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to
stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.

Oh, Dave! How awful! Where do you live? Are you the
person who some months ago was looking for a job but
were hoping you didn't have to move away from your
area and extended family? It sounds as if where you
live is beautiful at times (like Louise's abode -- I
love nature and rural areas, but not black flies, or
any flies, and not bees, and I'm wary of bears) but
what you described below is awful. Do you have snakes
to worry about, too?
The hill behind you worries me, with all the rain and
melting snow you describe. Are there a lot of
deep-rooted trees? Did you folk hear about the
mountain, really a large hill, that came down suddenly
in southern California and buried houses and people?
Keep your ears open, please.
Hoping the East Coast dries up soon and that you all
survive wthout health problems caused by mold or
anything else,
Cindy
