Monday, Ice, Chalkboarding
We had our ice storm.
First it was sleet, then snow, then sleet again, then ice. The last
thing that came down, I think, was more snow that covered the ice. There was thunder during the sleet, too. Very
weird.
It’s the ice that scares us here in MO. The ice storm of 2007 is still too fresh in our minds. We’re rural. We have trees that come down (well not as many anymore). We have outdoor animals on our farms.
I didn’t take any photos of the storm or aftermath. Sorry
about that. However, I will entertain
you with this drawing by my granddaughter.
It’s called Butterfly on
chalkboard wall in toy room. She
tried to talk me into chalkboarding all of the walls in the room.
I said, "Probably not."

I prepared for the power to go out, but it didn’t.

So, I’m having computer issues and may have to reload my
computer. If I’m missing online that may
be where I am. Reloading. Or fighting
ice storms. As I write this my laptop is
doing better. Della (get it? I have a Dell) is behaving. She KNOWS doesn’t she?
She knows I'm about to rip out her memory.
My
questions for you this week: Did the storm that vomited here, visit you (probably pertains to U.S.peeps)?
Would you chalkboard an entire room’s walls? Have you named your computer?

Ice is very scary--no power, can't drive in it. It's the type of wintry weather we usually get here in the south...not snow, mainly ice. Or snow that starts melting during the day and freezes as ice at night! Hope it melts soon for you and that you stay warm!
We had ice layered onto to every object available, stacked beautifully like layers of wax are added to make candles. We had lots of rain before the ice so we were lucky. No power loss. The ice last maybe forty-eight and it was completely gone.
No, I wouldn't paint all the walls in chalkboard and maybe just the bottom half of one wall. It would be too dark for me.
Good luck with the computer.
Lately I have been calling my computer names that I won't repeat in your comment session. There must be a computer rebellion at hand. Sometimes my computer is my super hero performing computing feats at amazing speeds and then other times it torments me with weird quirky behavior and refuses to do anything. On the other hand, my wife's computer which was been traditionally notoriously slow seems like it's all fired up with energy. Darn computers!

I hope you're staying safe and warm during the ice storm! Southeastern PA hasn't gotten much precipitation this winter, just freezing temps.
I will really have to ponder naming my laptop...hmmm...
You always crack me up.
I think chalkboard paint for a child's room is a fantastic idea. I place brown packaging paper on my children's and let them draw murals.
