This may very well be the last couple days of bitter cold for this winter. It was well below zero again last night and will be tonight as well. But then, temperatures should rise considerably over the weekend and into next week, enough that we may lose much of our very dismal snow cover. Sure, it may snow again before the grass gets green. But just being past the really, really cold stuff will be nice. This winter seems to have gone very quickly for me, but that was probably because of starting work again.

I got another couple piano students the past week. The number is getting to the point where I can almost say, “enough!” I must be at about 25 now. I know there are only two after school slots here and one in Cameron, without having to go into the supper hour as I already do on Tuesday and Wednesday. It is enough that, with going to school to practice in the afternoon, it seems like I’m working a very long day. I went in at 6:45 this a.m., had about an hour between work and school, then another half hour before lessons, then right up to church after lessons, then will be home about 12 1/2 hours after I started the day. But I like everything I do, so I’m not complaining!
