Life On Regal-Hill by Gail Hillriegel

Today was such a beautiful sunny winter’s day here at Regal-Hill. I don’t think it got above 30 degrees but there was little wind so the sun was really warm, especially in the car. It is hard to believe that approximately six inches of snow is forecast for tomorrow.

During Presidents’ Week it is fun to see how well we know our presidents by doing some exercises. Try these and see if you don’t know more than you think you do.

It is snowing huge flakes here at Regal-Hill. I love to watch these beautiful snowflakes fall as I stand in the big window of the house. They seem to draw me, where I don’t know, and to think every snowflake is different. According to the Farm Service Agency Newsletter of Delaware County, the size of the biggest snowflake ever recorded was 15 inches in diameter and fell in Montana. It sure wouldn’t take many snowflakes to cover everything white. I have never seen any that size.

So far here at Regal-Hill the most recent snowstorm hasn’t been that bad. I didn’t have to go out in the snow anyway, but we certainly didn’t get as much so far as predicted. It didn’t snow that hard and stopped for an hour, then it rained. I believe it is snowing a little again.

What do you do on Saturday? Here at Regal-Hill I try to do some baking and finish any projects that I started during the week. Saturday before last I was busy trying to finish up some cleaning projects, so I asked Allegra to do some baking for me. She likes to bake and she is very good at it.
