Dreary days here

This has been a pretty cold and wet winter for us.  Whereas most of the country with the exception of the far west has had record cold and snow, we have had nearly constant drizzle, rain and cold (for us 50℉ is cold).  I emptied the rain gauge yesterday and it was at 5" for the past week.  We had some leakage from our deck on the 4th floor and after about three months, it is almost repaired, we think.  The weather has impaired the ability of the contractor to do any outside work.  Anyway, spring is almost here and we are ready!! 

We're planning a trip to Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA next month.  Neither of us has been to these grand old southern cities and we are looking forward to it.  The weather should be good and flowers should be out.  It will be good to get out for a change. Can't wait.
