Spring snow & Earth Hour

3-29-09 sabbatical brain

The snow in Kansas City is worth mentioning, if only for its beauty!


Seven to nine inches were predicted, but the rain didn't turn over to snow immediately. Leawood area only received 4 inches of wonderful wet snow which adhered to every tree twig. Other parts of town received more. Today, Sunday we are left with a bright, sunny day.... perfect to make a snowman, which I will go do soon.






Here is picture looking west down our street.








Last night, Greg and I participated in Earth Hour.




This was a global effort started in Australia a few years ago. For ONE hour, individuals, cites, states, countries participate by turning off your lights from 8:30- 9:30 p.m. Saturday March 28th. In the newspaper today it said that ten times as many cities took part in the event this year compared with 2008. 88 countries participated.

I was hoping this year at 8:30 to be able to take an evening walk down to street to see if anyone else in the area had turned off all their lights at that time. Unfortunately, with the the snow Greg and I just stayed inside most of the day and at 8:30 we turned the lights off and went to bed.
