Snow geese, Euchre, Pizza and Fun

We went for a ride and on the way to Watertown we spotted a rather large flock of Snow Geese, most I have ever seen in a flock, we figured about 200 snow geese here,
.
.
We went around and coming in from Lowville saw another flock, we think there were several hundred in this gaggle....
.
In with the white Snow Geese were also the Canadian Geese, there were hundreds and hundreds of them.

.


.
we thought this was snow and once again we saw hundreds and hundreds of White Snow Geese again in another meadow...
.

. we were coming in from Croghan and this time saw a meadow covered with these snow geese... I am 65 years old and I cannot ever remember flocks of this size coming in, and they are still around here even after our 3 inch snow storm.
.
.
Well, we are settled in waiting for spring, today we went to the Grau's for an afternoon of Euchre, Eddies Bologna, chips, dip, cheese and some beer,  we played Euchre, Penny and I and Marty and Anna Mae,  Great afternoon.
.
.
Penny and I won 5 games and they won 4 games, a good time was had, lots of laughs, conversation and no world problems got solved.
.
We had some Pizza Dough from Marty and Penny's daughter sent to them from Ohio and we had to try, it made a good pizza and we enjoyed it.
.
It was a good day.

Home again

Well, we made it home, we left Myrtle Beach and drove up to Chambersburg Pa. Weather was nice, cool but sunny, we stayed at the Comfort Inn where we usually stay,  Pool, Hot Tub, great breakfast.   We went to bed and slept great.
.
Next morning we woke up to a "Snow Storm",  we had coffee, quick breakfast and hit the road trying to get ahead of the storm.
.
.
The roads were wet in places and in other places they were SNOW covered.
.

.
We saw several Semi's off the Road and cars off the road and several accidents.
.
.
Thankfully, we made it home safe and sound, we thank our Guardian Angel for riding with us,  we unpacked the truck, went grocery shopping, and we have settled back in,  we have not done much but watch it snow, then rain, then get windy, we have about 2 inches of snow, it was 1 below zero this morning and cold.
.
Today here at the "Ole Folks Home" we are having our spring Venision Stew Feed in the community room,  looking forward to this.
.
On a sad note, Aunt Ruth as we call her is moved into a Nursing Home, 4 others have moved also, but, we have some new residents to meet and get to know,  hopefully spring cannot be that far away,  we have seen several large flocks of Canadian Geese flying north, the river here is loaded with them and Maple Sugaring Season is underway, all signs of spring.
.
On another note, there was no snow this winter, very unusual, we noticed all the little brooks and streams did not have much water in them, usually they are full and roaring, not quiet and calm.
.
Hope everyone is doing OK,
.
