Snow scene on the prairie 9.30 am

The snow finally caught up with us but as I write is turning to rain, it usually melts away in a couple of hours when the wind is coming off the sea due to the salt air and above freezing sea temperature.
I am waiting for the road to clear and then I shall go to the village for a paper, according to Montana Mike, Sonia has reached Dubai on the epic journey to OZ,so no problem with snow there.
Visited farmer Ben yesterday and his dearly beloved is reclining in a chair recovering from a foot operation,and he is ministering to her every need,nearly as good care as he affords his pigs,its a lonely old job at times farming,a bit like my own,and Ben likes a chat when the opportunity arises
and lapses into lincolnshire dialect when he gets excited during the telling of a tale.
I passed the Le Blades but they were probably still abed,not being early risers,and I am reluctant to disturb their slumbers before midday.
I have been busy with poster work this week again,and always think about my old pal Brian who sadly is no longer with us,painting away on your own gives your brain time to browse.
My back is much improved though it has taken a few days longer than normal,probably not helped by bending over the drawing board.
Thats all for now Graham
