First Day of Spring
Not Quite Spring
Not Quite Spring
Today I was running around outside with bare naked forearms and was even able to ride my mare Lily for a bit. The high was 71F. Tomorrow the forecast is for seven inches of snow with highs around 29F. The only people who are excited about this are the weather forecasters.
Go Pet Friendly
The web site GoPetFriendly.com Pet Travel allows you to find hotels and other accommodations that allow pets. Ideally, I think vacations are to give me a break from taking care of critters, but not everyone feels that way. I did find Red Roof’s policy of allowing pets very handy when I drove three cats and an elderly Golden Retriever from Plano, TX to Colorado Springs. Dairy Queens were also very useful, because they were spaced about every sixty miles in Texas, allowing me a break from driving, a refill of coffee, a bathroom (needed after all the coffee) and a chance to walk the dog.
Irish-American Soda Bread
I made soda bread today using this recipe from Simply Recipes. The article suggested using a cast iron skillet to bake it in the oven, which worked very well. I followed the recipe except for substituting currents for raisins. It was quite yummy.
