The first day of the rest of my week

I had about an inch of snow on the ground when I woke up Monday morning. Like the first snowfall every year, it was beautiful, lying on each branch of my evergreens. I decided to take some pictures at lunch.

But, by lunchtime most of it had come off the branches. Not because it melted (oh, no. It's still too cold for that!) but because of the stiff winds.

Back home after work, I noticed that the night crew I hoped would clean up all the dinner mess apparently never came in. So, I changed clothes, turned on the radio and got to work. When the dishwasher was filled and running and all the pots and pans washed and in the drying rack, I went and checked on the shower project.

It looks like the mud is still damp in spots; which makes sense, as I put a lot of plaster in some of the deeper cracks. So, I left my faithful little fan running and gave myself the night off.

For dinner, I warmed up a bowl of the potato leek soup and then a bowl of the sausage and mushroom penne gratin. I watched TV until about 9:30 PM and then went to sleep. And, that was Monday...
