The rain is falling once again this morning, as expected. The good news is that after today we will be getting into a drier weather pattern that should last through the weekend. Temperatures will stay on the mild side as well, so as we head into the 2nd half of February the weather is looking pretty decent. There will be some fog to deal with in the overnight and morning hours, but sunshine is expected beginning tomorrow each afternoon.
As is usually the case, there is a lot of work to be done this week. Yesterday was Presidents Day, but in spite of that I was at my post carrying out my duties...whatever they might be. Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the season of Lent, and as is our custom we will have church services at 7:00pm, with our usual soup supper immediately before. If tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, that means today is Fat Tuesday. Actually, for me, every Tuesday is Fat Tuesday, but that is a completely different issue. In some parts of the world, mainly English speaking countries, this is considered Shrove Tuesday. It is a time of confession before Lent begins, and its focus on repentance. A feast of pancakes is traditionally eaten to symbolize the removing of foods of indulgence from our lives, such as oil, eggs and sugar in advance of Ash Wednesday. We are going to be having pancakes and sausage for dinner tonight, mainly because I like pancakes and sausage.
