Merry and Bright
The bright sun would lead us to believe that it is warmer outside, rather than what it actually is.
I can tell you that the marketplace on Facebook does indeed work. Hats off to the older ones on Stauffer Avenue. I even remembered to go back to the site and let the world know a sale had happened.
After Dennis went out to check on the patio kitties this morning, I sat in my bedroom porch for a time enjoying breakfast coffee and a good read. I couldn’t help but notice a huge brown curled Oak leaf as it danced and pranced over the top of the snow that had no blemishes on it. A thing of delight in the winter wonderland. A gust of wind gave the leaf flight to . . . where . . . I do not know. If the gusts persist road conditions will be anything but a delight. The snow was so wet and heavy, once walked on or driven on, it was ice.
Dennis has been outside cleaning around the door openings with his Simplicity snowblower. That included an area on the back patio next to the patio porch. The pan holding the nightly corn for the deer will have a cleared spot. This morning the backyard of fairly deep snow looked like many deer had traveled through.
Again this afternoon, I spent some time putting more safety pins down to hold Luella’s blanket in place before quilting can begin. I have no time frame on the quilting process.
This evening we are enjoying two bone in pork chops, smothered in cream of mushroom soup, that have been in the crockpot since morning. A kettle of instant mashed potatoes will be also on the menu with green beans. I think Dennis will enjoy the tasty hot meal.
As we had no errands to run today, I still think the sun makes me feel merry and bright.
Catch you tomorrow on hump day!
