Mostly School Stuff
Several people have mentioned a mysterious vanishing entry I wrote. Well, it vanished because I deleted it because it was just too silly!
Today in class we got to tackle the past tense. {Clutches aching head and cries a lot} 
Actually, it really wasn’t all that difficult except for one thing. These tenses use either avere {to have} or essere {to be} before them which is a bit confusing. To make it a bit more complicated, the ones which follow essere have to agree in number and gender with the subject!
I noticed an interesting thing as I listened to other people doing the classwork, I have to think my way laboriously through a process to get the answers, step by step and it seems to me that the younger students take much less time when they do it. I think that this is only partly to do with my age. I have always had difficulty in doing more than one thing at a time, and here I had to think {a} avere or essere {b }is the verb ending -are, -ere or -ire {c} if the auxiliary verb is essere, is the subject singular or plural and masculine or feminine! I am not excessively worried about this since I know that it all will eventually sort itself out for me and I will be able to work a little faster, but right now it seems to take me longer than the average student.
Can you believe we are expecting more snow this evening and in the next few days? This must stop! It was snowing when I came out of physical therapy yesterday but it was fluffy stuff drifting down and melting as it hit the car and the road. That kind of snow I rather like !

I have put off cutting my butterfly bush which I am suppose to do, but I don’t want to kill it with the snow coming. Poor thing. I keep looking for things coming up but not much is coming here yet. The tulips have started and I uncovered the leaves around them. Hope they make it. Blessings.

We had some snow showers yesterday, but thankfully they didn’t hang around. Will it be June before you all finally get rid of all the snow showers?

We are getting more snow, too. It makes me want to scream. It is silly though because it will keep up until May. This is normal.

I have trouble doing more than one thing at a time also. So I’d also be slow, but I WOULD (like you!) get it done! :o) !! hugs, Weesprite

Reading that stuff gave me a headache! I can only imagine how hard it was learning it all.

I will admit… I’m kind of hoping it does snow a little. *ducks and runs* I know, I’m horrible. But I haven’t seen snow fall in a long time 🙂

Wow, it’s odd to think about you guys getting snow today. It was almost like spring here. Granted, I know from experience that PA can get snow in March, or even as late as early April. But, by this point, the “bulk” of winter and the “worst” winter weather tends to be behind us.
