The First Day

The big day is here, the first day of my new business. Plans were to register my business name, apply for a sales tax number, purchase insurance and bring the necessary paperwork to the Farmer's Market to get a table this coming weekend. Checking the weather first thing, here's what I saw. That's nearly two feet of very wet, heavy snow. And this is mid-April; my crocuses have finished blooming.

The front view showed a foot of snow in the road, which must have been plowed hours earlier. I'm at a T-intersection; the plow comes up the crossroad, turns and leaves an amazing mountain at the foot of my driveway. No way could I get out without three hours of shoveling.

One of the nice things about self-employment is that you can make instant decisions, which I immediately did by deciding to work on the website and blog today instead of driving around town. Here's hoping tomorrow brings the return of spring.
