The final indignity was heaped on us this morning with over a half a foot of snow here by sunrise and more drifting down. It's not funny anymore. Our coconut bird feeder is sheltered under the eaves, but it still got a good dose anyway. The melt will come quickly, we're told, which is good because we've got a couple of ladies to deliver to the airport tomorrow. They're heading for sunnier climes. Timing is everything, of course, Hai skeddaddled Wednesday. He's in southern California at the moment, helping his Mom hang curtains in her new place.
