May 24 snow



I'm looking out my office window at about three inches of snow. There wasn't any here when I arrived, but there was an inch at home. So I'm afraid we might have three or four inches there. I hope it doesn't wipe out the tomatoes. I'm worried that it will break branches on the apricot trees because they are loaded with green apricots.

I'm not happy about it, but apparently I am not in charge.

We are traveling to Cody, Wyoming this weekend to see Jake and Lindsay. We will also be going to the Billings Montana temple for Anette's niece's wedding. We hope the weather improves dramatically before then.

Update: A snowplow just went by and I can hear people shoveling their office stairways. This is the latest date ever for measurable snowfall in Salt Lake City. The latest previous date was May 18.

Thank goodness for global warming. Otherwise I'd be concerned about the start of a new ice age.

My brand new flower baskets are goners. I hope our tomatoes are okay, too. Harvey woke up this morning to the sound of a treebranch breaking and falling onto the roof just outside his window. We had to clear an entire truckload of treebranches today.

Apparently global warming works better in Indiana than Utah. It is 85 degrees here now and hit 90 yesterday.

90 sounds miserable.

Yeah, it's been rather warm here, too. Rachel is happy, though, she has a Daisy scout pool party on Friday, and at the last meeting we were worried that it might be too cold to swim. It's not!
