La, la, la, we have a snow day

... which of course means faculty can stay at home reading and grading, grading, grading because mid-semester grades are due in three days. We might be able to avoid the mid-term all-nighter!

The Southland is all snowy.

+Maya Pavlova is asleep and doesn't care.

A dozen daffodils bloomed in front of the house just a day ago.

I cut and brought some daffodils and jonquils indoors yesterday. There were a lot more ready to pop out. The snow probably won't hurt them; they are hardy. But I worry about the ice which may be coming as the temperatures drop.

Sleep well, little daffodils.
