Spring Snow Storm

In contrast to yesterday's blizzard, we have another beautiful morning on the lake, blue skies, sunshine, and a snow-covered lawn. It's my fault because I put my snow shovels in the garage attic on Monday. It's 9:15 and I just returned from breakfast at the Lake Life Cafe with the guys. 

Yesterday was interesting, weather-wise. The day started well, with blue skies and sun and a great paddle. I finished the blog by 9:00 and was off to a yoga class by 9:40. We had a substitute teacher that I had before, notable because she rubs an analgesic on our shoulders, arms, and feet during class. After class, I drove to Home Depot and picked up some garden soil and grass seed, getting ready for what I thought might be a warm Spring day. 

Snow Begins At 5:30

Lunch was the last of the miso/carrot soup and lettuce wraps with spicy ground chicken. I watched half of the last episode of Shantaram, saving the rest for today. The afternoon went quickly, as always, with a nap and reading but the weather changed drastically by 5:00. We were supposed to go out to dinner at a restaurant in Northeast, PA, about a forty-minute drive. 

Dining Out

As the wind picked up and the blizzard began, I called our friends and suggested we go somewhere nearby. They agreed and we ended up driving across the lake in a literal blizzard, to Guppy's, a ten-minute drive. Fortunately, crews were out already clearing and salting the roads.

Crossing Bridge On Our Way Home

One table was taken when we entered, so we had our choice of where to sit although a few other brave souls arrived as we ate. It was burger night so most of us ordered burgers and fries to go along with a beer or two. It was more fun than usual since our wives were with us. We usually have breakfast on Thursday mornings with just guys. We stayed until 8:00 and by then, the storm had passed and it was an easy drive home although icy. We were thankful we changed our plans and enjoyed Guppys. When we returned home, it was a Spring Winter Wonderland as dusk settled in. We quickly changed into something comfortable, enjoyed a bowl of ice cream, and watched a couple of our usual shows.
