My husband just came in from outside and exclaimed:

"It's raining....YAY!!!"

For once, we're happy for rain. Rain that will muddy and melt all the beautiful snow...making the world brownish gray instead of pristine and white.

This is because we called to order Satellite TV last week. They came out to install it, and couldn't because of all the snow on our roof. They are coming back on Sunday, because it is supposed to warm up...but we were concerned that it wasn't warming up fast enough. So I just helped him haul 30 gallons of hot water in buckets up a ladder and pour it over the roof to melt the snow off. The neighbors must think we're crazy!
