Easter Grass

Today, on the third of April 2010, that title is an oxymoron. Seeing as how we didn't have a flake of snow left on the ground as of Thursday, I am taken back a bit. There is no visible grass. It is all buried under the 4 inches of snow from the unexpected storm blowing through. Yes, blowing through because it's still falling. I listened to the wind whip around last night and this morning in my bed. I thought that we were just getting a lot of wind (as predicted). No, what met my eyes when I looked out the window was a shock. I wouldn't have been more surprised if the Easter bunny had brought me breakfast in bed.



A white out. Complete curtain of white and piles of snow. I was thinking about driving to Idaho Falls this afternoon, but forget that! IHOP is having this wonderful promotion in April; kids eat free every day from 4 to 10 pm. Yay. Though we'll probably only do it once or twice, it will be a fun diversion. Not today. I think the cabin fever will be hitting early on today. Not that I won't have my diversions. General Conference is this weekend, so the next two days will be split into two hour segments from 10am to 4pm. To quote Wikipedia, which sums subjects up much better than I can,

"General Conference is a semiannual world conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints held in April and October, where members gather for five two-hour sessions to listen to instruction from Church leaders. General Conference is broadcast via satellite from the Conference Center at church headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah."

This year in the States for us is especially unique because we are able to listen in 'real time' and watch it on T.V.! We are usually able to listen to the stream on the internet and hear the morning sessions. Then we have to find time the next day to listen to the afternoon session that took place while we were sleeping. If anyone is interested, go here to --> Listen to General Conference <-- Happy Easter, everyone!



*I bought these tulips last Friday because they looked so spring-y. Little did I know I'd need a reminder of Spring in my kitchen.*
