Snowfall

Our big snowfall was pretty pitiful - and for that we're thankful. There was a good bit more, with cooler temperatures in the higher elevations, so the local schools were closed. Here in the city, there was no problem getting around, the streets were just wet. It's still cold, though. And they're talking about the possibility of more of that white stuff on Saturday morning. We shall see...

Kate got The Sweater today. But she says she's going to wait until this weekend to start doing the remaining work, when she can get some sustained time. Can't wait for those finished pictures.

We went to the Photo Society meeting tonight. The speaker talked about his self-published book of photographs. He's a local teacher, and has worked hard to protect one of the special natural areas nearby. He has taken the photos, written the copy, and donated the profits from sales to the conservation organization. He used one of several web-based self-publishing companies. He used http://www.blurb.com/home/3 . The download of the format and working soft-ware is free, and you only pay for the books you publish. The copies he brought with him are quite good, and the publishing costs are very reasonable. I may have to check this out more carefully.

Today's photo is to show you what was left of our snow about 9:45 this morning.
