Friday.

We have another ‘event’ coming this evening, but the guidance from various weather forecasters is wildly different. Yesterday: 8-12 inches with sleet and ice. Then 5-8 inches with sleet and ice. The National Weather Service says 1 -3 inches with sleet and ice. And our local guys now say 1- 3 inches. Obviously, when you factor in ice, I much prefer 1 -3 inches. Yesterday, we had a high of 53 degrees, so much of the snow from Monday night has melted.

Right now, it’s sunny. The calm before the storm.

Thank you, Mother Nature, for giving us an entire winter in one week.

Grateful for the snow for our water table. But very ready for spring.

I ended up running to the library yesterday to pick up two more books. I have to read 3 books in 3 weeks time. I can do it! Yes, I can!

A story from yesterday. Don went to the store to stock up on things. While he was gone, I vacuumed, swiffered, sorted through things, straightened up, etc. So I was fairly busy. When I was finished, I sat down in my chair. Couldn’t find my cell phone. Okay. Got up, looked everywhere. No cell phone. I’d been in the house all day, so it couldn’t be in my car (I had yet to go to the library.) Looked everywhere again. Then I thought, I’ll have Don call my number so I can hear the phone ring. Ummm…no. Don isn’t here and you no longer have a landline, so you can’t call him. I had no way of communicating with him! Such a strange feeling. I finally came to the conclusion that Don  must have it.

I sat down and checked to see if I had a message from Don via email. Sure enough, he had reached into one of his pockets and found my cell phone. He told me later that he just stood there in the grocery store staring at the phone trying to figure out why he had two phones with him. Thank goodness, I wasn’t expecting an important call!

I finally gave up waiting for him to get home and went to the library.

Let’s close with this photo of Monty, Lucy, and a carrot.

Stay safe.

Happy Friday.
