The Last Snow Of Winter?

Well, I was hoping winter was over, but this is what it looks like outside my house as I type this post. This late in the year, I'm hoping this is the last snow of the winter. Winter... It's been spring for a month already. Last year spring got here so early that I thought something was terribly wrong, and now I think the same thing, but about this late winter. Woe is me!

On a positive note, I did hear plenty of birds out there, but the brightness of all that snow was blinding me so bad that there was no way I could seek them out with my camera. But they were there!

I'm guessing that next week at this time I'll be looking at warm, sunny skies, the birds will be everywhere, and I'll be outside happily clicking away on my camera. nothing at all like today.

Actually, I must admit something to you. I'm ashamed to say that I've been hiding something from you... I don't feel bad about this weather at all! In fact, I saw all that snow and I joyously ran out of the house and began happily taking pictures. I barely got my shoes on before I was running out the door.

I needed some material to write a post about, and this was the perfect thing. What more could I want but this strange weather behavior to spark my creativity and excitement. I'm still constantly looking out the window at this wonder of a late winter.

Okay, on to some blogging news I promised to tell you all about in my last post. I've started a new blog about a much needed subject. When Windows 8 was released I immediately liked the idea of the Windows App Store. It's a nice safe place to get apps for your computer where you'll never have to be worried about becoming infected with a virus or trojan.

I noticed something i don't like though. The Windows Store is a bit of a monotonous mess. So how do we know which apps we might like? That idea took me to the web. I thought there would surely be a few sites that shared recommended apps for us to download from the store. Nope. I guess Windows 8 is not quite that popular yet. I waited and waited... and waited. Nothing like I was hoping for.

That's where my new blog comes in. I decided to create such a site myself. I scour the Windows Store for Windows 8 apps that have enough value that people may be interested in them. I'll share news of those apps with everyone, and I'll also share news of any sales or events involving the store. I already have two posts up, but serious posting there will start Monday.

I know most of you are probably not interested in something like this, but for those who have Windows 8 or are planning on getting it, I know this new site will be of great value to you. You can find the link in the toolbar at the top of my blog. The new Site is called Windows 8 App News.

Well, that's it for me today. this was my second post in just one week. I'm getting better. hopefully the next one will be up just as soon. See ya then!
