Walked up to the train station to catch the light rail to the airport. Flew out of Seattle and over clouds most of the way home and arrived about 8 pm over mostly cloudy Cook Inlet, but with hints of the sun.
There was sun yesterday morning, but wet snow by evening. It is breakup - lots of puddles in the streets. Temperature now is 35˚F on our backyard thermometer and the snow on the railing in the picture below is almost all gone.
Now we have to take stock of our neglected house and bring it into the modern world. It's easy to get used to a water stain on the ceiling, old worn rugs, cracks in the cement, and other minor problems. I've even tried to line up people to help out, but I was either uncomfortable with them, or they didn't have time. But after our experience with fixing up my mom's house in LA, it's time to get serious and get our house to the point that visitors don't wonder how we live in such a well worn space.
But first I have to shovel snow a bit.
