Overnight we had another light snow, it was nice to see it this morning. It's been old and cloudy for days, we are a bit glum, but the bits of bright sun help.

Roses are good for us! GOPO (R) found in rose hips can help reduce inflammation and help with cartilage repair. If you can get past the ads here, but I'm sure there are other pages with much more detail. http://www.livescience.com/2903-pain-stop-smell-roses.html

We finally got some snow this afternoon, just a dusting, but it looks much nicer than the dry crusty leaves. It's been in the 20's all day. They had been predicting 54F and sunny for days, maybe tomorrow?

finally some rain, i need to learn about this rain gauge, the ditches had standing water in them yesterday, and ome of the fields have low spots filled with water, but the gauge says 0.26 inches...that's not right.
