Brr!

Seems as if the cold hasn’t slowed too many people down as per the traffic past our home.

It seemed a good day to swap out laundry and chase dust bunnies.  Where oh where do they all come from.  The laundry tells a tale.  No matter how many loads of washed clothes we may go through, the lint is never finished.

Dennis did get his pickup driveway cleared out with his snowblower.  The alley is narrow and it doesn’t take but one swipe of the city plows to plug the doorway of the pickup garage.  Dennis said he would chauffeur if I wanted a lift to the grocery store.  I couldn’t pass that up.  What’s a kitchen without onions . . . and a few other things.

On the way home from the grocery store, Dennis made a swing into the Fleet and Farm.  It seems that Harriet had checked out one of the large flower pots that holds the Koi pond plant.  Yup, it got tipped over.  Dennis and the vacuum had a mission that left the pot needing more potting soil.  

I had just gotten a phone call . . . from Dennis in the patio porch.  I needed to come to the bathroom window as there were ten deer under our Maple tree and in the backyard.  Oh my what a glorious site to see them in the daylight.  Dennis had put some new slabs of hay under the Maple tree. Though deer are not real fond of hay, the corn and oats that Dennis had sprinkled over the hay made it a great treasure hunt for the deer.  Good going Dennis!

Another tip with the hay.  Dennis had checked out the patio porch and the garages looking for Harriet.  Dennis feared that she had snuck out and was out in the sub-zero cold.  Nope.  When Dennis went to fetch those new slabs of hay.  Harriet had burrowed in on top of the open bale.  

Tell me that retired folks have a boring life and I will show you some boring folks.
