A new season


It might not feel like it yet in the fickle weather month of March, but winter is finally, officially over.  Today's vernal equinox marks the time when the sun crosses over the equator and the length of day and night is almost equal. Days now grow progressively longer until the summer solstice on June 21.  Maybe it's because we're under dark clouds so much of the time, but the angle of the sun when it decides to come out is absolutely blinding.

Speaking of the sunshine of our lives-- our wonderful daughter Amanda applied for the position of Pateros District School nurse and was offered the job.  Her busy life will now become even busier, because this new job is in addition to the three days a week she already works at Family Heath Center in Twisp.  On Thursdays, she will make the 60 mile round trip commute to the town of Pateros to work at the school. School nursing has changed a great deal over the years, and this will be challenging and interesting work. And she will be terrific. Congratulations!
