Dust bunnies

 

"If winter comes, can spring be far behind?" Percy Bysshe Shelley

Spring Easter bunnies on the table, and winter dust bunnies underneath. That strong, slanting afternoon light shows a scrim of dust on every horizontal surface in the house. Egads. On Saturday I cleaned the blinds, the furniture, the floors and the inside windows.

More spring cleaning. That's Nova on family chore morning, tackling their windows in a T-shirt instead of a parka. The piles of snow in the yard are disappearing. 

It was another full week for Amanda (front row, left.) They gave 760 vaccinations at the Okanagan County Fairgrounds drive through clinic on Friday, then several hundred more at Liberty Bell High School in Winthrop (above) on Saturday.  

There's a push in Washington now to vaccinate our teachers, and they're doing good job in the Methow Valley. Demand still exceeds vaccine supply here in Seattle, and no one is optimistic full-time school will start up soon. Nova and Maya are lucky getting 2 days a week of in-person school.   

Daylight savings time. Again we all wonder, why mess with the clocks?  Spring change is harder for most people, losing an hour of sleep. I'm an early morning insomniac, so for a few days it feels like I'm really sleeping in.

Weather whiplash this weekend, after a warm and sunny Saturday a chilly rainy Sunday. I didn't go outside at all, just caught up on laundry and cooked corned beef for dinner. It was good. Packing today for our trip to California, and it might take a while because are seriously out of practice.  I'll check in from the desert later this week.
