Day 2-2 -- Sun, Friends, & Laughter

What a delightful day!  It began with great sunshine and some time spent moving snow -- about 4 inches down and up to 6 inches on the car. The sun made this task more bearable.  I ran some errands and got most of the things done on the list that was sitting on the kitchen counter while I was at the grocery store.  Still, I managed to get the key items and get out from the crowds that had descended on the store. After all, it was closed yesterday and there may be a storm in two days. <smile> The temperature has been falling since being at the freezing point in mid-afternoon. Then once the sun went down the wind began to pick up. There may be a bit of snow overnight, but it seems most of the snow and rain mixture will come on Sunday -- the amount is yet to be determined.

Friends from Saskatchewan visited this afternoon. We went for a long waking tour of the campus and then went out for a lovely dinner. Conversation was such fun. They even brought me a Saskatoon berry pie -- real Saskatoon berries. That alone would be pure heaven. The good long visit with them really made my day. I am truly a lucky person. We discussed a couple musical groups, so today's selection comes from one of these. This selection shows amazing 4-part harmony. It is a song that I sang two years ago when in the green space referred to in the song - albeit far less melodically than the bird mentioned <smile>.  It is a lovely square with the oldest trees in London. Well worth the trip. Enjoy!
