Good Run

It’s been a good run on Stauffer Avenue today, although a bit windy.  When I went to bed last night, the streets were wet and vehicles were using windshield wipers.  This morning I didn’t know what I would find looking out the windows.

I believe we only had two inches of snow but with the wind, it may have been rearranged several times.  When Dennis came in from his first run to the patio porch he commented that there was ice under the white fluffy stuff.

I didn’t comment when Dennis tugged on the snowmobile boots.  At his age and stage in life, he does still have command of what he wants to do.  It didn’t take long, I could hear the walk behind snowblower.  My job is to keep an eye oh him in the event he is no longer upright.

We are approaching the end of the day.  We have had a good run today.   The concrete drive is already showing bare spots as the sun is working its wile.  I have finished the picking of stitches on the Santa quilt . . . lights are now off in the sewing studio for the day.  I also finished reading a book I have been picking up here and there over the last weeks.  Yup, a good run.  

Dennis is now catching a nap in the rocking chair of the patio porch with a kitty also napping on his lap.  I am catching my breath as I have conquered what could have been a less than appealing quilt project.  A mistake in quilting makes me humble and that’s better than an achievement that could make me arrogant. Just keeping it in perspective.

Tomorrow Dennis has an appointment here at our eye clinic.  The specialist will be here to measure his eye for a new lens that will be put on his eye after the upcoming cataract surgery.  Dennis can’t remember which eye that is . . . but he knows he is going through with it.  Priceless.

I hope everyone stays safe in the cold temps that are coming our way.  Take care of those fingers and the nose.  Both will be needed for some time to come.
