January 31 through March 15, 2020

I'm working from home today and decided to take a break and write a post. First thanks again to Lissa Writes for the badges, I'm using another as my header.

I put off working from home because I've gotten used to commuting and have a new car I enjoy driving.

I also tend to work much longer hours from home and like leaving work at the office and home for home.

As more cases of coronavirus have cropped up in my area I decided the thing to do is work from home and not work too long hours.

Since I started work even earlier than I usually get to the office and I know if something comes up this afternoon after I usually leave, I'll take care of it; I decided the thing to do is take a break in the middle of the day.

Since I started working in my P. J.'s at 6:30, this is actually later than mid day.

I'm not overly worried about getting coronavirus but since the majority of NC cases are in Raleigh where I live, there's the added reason of not wanted to take it to the office in Durham where I work.

We've had continual weird weather. In early February it was warm and early flowers jumped the gun.

Then we had snow followed by low temperatures and many trees with spring flowers dropped their blooms.

It was a pretty sugar frosting snow but due to drop in temperatures we ended up with a fair amount of ice.

The daffodils were hit hard and a lot didn't recover.

Even so the yellow was pretty through the snow.
