Young Hopper Drawing
I love this drawing made by the artist Edward Hopper when he was nine years old.
Bumpon
I recently bought a new keyboard because my beloved old keyboard, that I used for years, was grotty beyond belief. Unfortunately, I struggled to find some of the special keys on my new keyboard, which was disconcerting since I am a touch typist. However, I found these small adhesive bumps on Amazon, and put them on strategic keys on my new keyboard. I am starting to become much happier with my new keyboard, and hopefully, won’t have to revert to using my old, grotty keyboard. (Bumps come in multiple sizes but these small ones seem to be working for my application.)

Spring Snow Storm
A few days ago, we had one of our occasional spring snowstorms, which dumps a lot of wet snow, while staying close to 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Colorado Springs and El Paso County shut down for two days so that public works could clear the roads.
I was house sitting in southwest Colorado Springs where we got a LOT of snow. This is probably more snow than I have seen on my Forrester in years.
The trees looked like this:
