So what is the glamorous life of a grad student in March? Using spring break week as a chance to catch up on lab loose ends while there aren't any classes to mess up the day! Weeee!
Did a quick visit to C'ville to catch up with friends this past weekend - it was wonderful to see folks and catch up, particularly because two of them are expecting. It was a talk and food filled weekend, with some beautiful weather on Saturday. The maples are budding out, crocuses and daffodils in full bloom...oh yes, and hubby snuffling with allergies. Ah, spring!
Then we came back to Blacksburg:
The weather has been so spastic! Freezing cold with snow, and 48hrs later it's going to be 63*. I know it normally bounces around in the spring, but this seems pretty extreme. I know it's hard on Dax. She started shedding a few weeks ago, but we've had two bouts of cold snowy weather interspersed with 70* since then. The good part about her new barn is that she's got lots more shelter and shade options than the previous one. That combined with quality hay means she's as well equipped as possible to handle the crazy weather, short of putting her in and out of a stall (although she actually has access to one of those too!).
Not a whole lot of exciting stuff going on at the moment, except that....drum roll please...
WE'RE HOUSE SHOPPING AGAIN!! AAAAAHHHHH!!!!
Brace yourselves!
