January 11, 2016 A Winter Weekend & A Visit

The nest Jesse made on Saturday.
He likes our fleece sheets.

Larry & Elsie arriving Sunday
afternoon.

Friday 1/8. I helped JB dig out his Jeep so he could move it.  Also spent time writing my book.  I tend to do it a half an hour at a time, two or three times a day.  Also still writing notes for it throughout the day and often into the night.

JB has been spending time on his computer researching the Washington State Constitution, and he did so today.  He also baked some focaccia bread to have with dinner.

Our high for the day was 34 and we actually saw a little blue sky until early afternoon when the fog moved back in.  Am really getting tired of that fog.

Saturday 1/9. It was 28 and overcast as the day began.  A light snow of tiny snowflakes fell all afternoon, but all it did was turn the tree branches white.  No measurable amount.

JB used the tractor to move some of the big piles of snow and I spent most of the day doing inside stuff.  Our high for the day was 30.  It is actually getting cooler as predicted.

Sunday 1/10. It was 24 and overcast this morning, and that pretty much describes the whole day.  I cleaned house a bit and JB tried to use the snow blower, but thinks a belt to the impeller may have broken.

Larry and Elsie arrived at about 2:30 pm in the SnoCat, having plowed our road all the way up.  They drove up and around the south ridge too.  Then we had fun playing two games of marbles and split them.  With Larry's plowing, we should be able to get Miss Kitty back up to Rose Camp.  

We are going Down There tomorrow to take Jesse to the vet to have his paw looked at.  Also going to pick up a few groceries and go to the post office.  If it looks like Miss Kitty can get up our road, we will go down on Tuesday to get her.

Monday 1/11. It is 20 and overcast with valley fog this morning.  We must have been fogged in overnight as everything is rimed.  It is going to be a cold journey this morning.

Thought for the day: Don't tell me that worry doesn't do any good!  The things I worry about don't happen.
