SPRING???????

For the last three nights I have been hot enough that I ended up tossing off my blankets, and quilt and sleeping with my sheet. Yesterday I took the extra blankets off my bed, and left the quilt on, but before bed, I folded the quilt at the bottom, just in case.

This morning I woke up to rain. To be fair, it did rain all day yesterday, before I left for school, It had turned to slushyness, as I got back in the car from dropping the little boys off at daycare, I decided it was sleet. It took me fortyfive minutes instead of my usual 25 to get to Mitchell Tech. I got there and had time to print out the paper due at the end of my second hour. Then right before my class got out at 9:50, my class was interupted by office staff telling us that Mitchell public schools were closing at 10:30 and MTI was officially closing at 11:45. by this time it was "sneeting" I went to my 10:00 teacher and handed her the paper, (I had planned on reading thru it and doing any fine tuning)(Oh, well). Then I left, I had to go grocery shopping on my way home. It took an hour. Then I drove home. It took 65 min. to drive home. My kids called when I was almost home -6 miles, away in Alexandria- to tell me that school was canceled and they were home, Jim and Echo went to the daycare and picked up the little boys. According to the radio as I drove home the visibility was 1/8 of a mile. and the wind was supposed to be increasing.

An interesting thing here in S. Dakota is the wind. even with a day of rain and then sleet and sneet and snow there is a side on all the trees that is dry.

The kids were supposed to get out of school on May 16, but they had too many "snow days" and now school gets out on May 19. They were told that since they started the day at school they will not have to makeup today.

Katie is hoping for a good day for her B-day on May 5, so she can play outside on that day.

I am planning on planting some bulb flowers, crocus and tulips and daffodil but what will this kind of weather do to them?
