Short sleeves one day, three inches of snow the next.  My poor flowers!  I did have my son go out and cut some of the daffodils that were out front before they were frozen.  The bright yellow helps a little to keep the sunshine in the house amidst the disappointment of the return of snow outside.

To keep warm inside today I plan to start cooking the ham in the roaster.   It is a huge ham and I plan on it taking all day into the evening.  It needs to cook long and slow as to get that ham gravy smell stirring in the air!

I was disappointed in myself yesterday for not planning better.  I wanted to attend Maundy Thursday service at our church, but after just getting in from chores there just wasn't enough time planned in to get there in time.   I didn't factor in those snow covered roads.  Today will be planned better and will make it to Good Friday services.

What is the reason for having a celebration if you don't prepare?   These days before Sunday are all part  of the special event.   I feel like I have missed out by not going Thursday.  I once had a woman remark to me,  "If church is open, how could you not go?"   It is a missed opportunity to rejoice and give praise with others.
