February 3, 2017 Brrrrr!

Rime on the hook for the
hummingbird feeder
last week.

Wednesday 2/1. In January we received 45.5" of snow which brought our total for the season to 82" (6.8 feet).  With all the snow in the forecast for the next several days, we may get close to last year's record of 10 ft.  Oh, goodie. . .

And, in January, the girls gave us 49 eggs.  Wow!  That's great for winter!

It was another clear, sunny day so I put all of today's incoming power to a more practical use and vacuumed.  That after dishes and laundry.

The sun didn't stick around much past noon, but it popped back out as the sky cleared again around 3:00 pm.

I finally found the movie, Tremors, at a reasonable price and it arrived in the mail that Larry and Elsie brought up last Saturday.  We watched it last night.  So entertaining!  And everyone looks so young.  It was made in 1989!

Am still reading Larry McMurtre's book, but I also started Sue Grafton's book, W Is For Wasted, that also arrived in the mail.  JB couldn't find it for me for Christmas, but he did get her book X.  I love her novels and may just have to start from A Is For Alibi when I am done with these two.

We are in the midst of another cold snap and our high for the day was only 21.

Thursday 2/2. It was a very cold 9 degrees this morning with clear sky and a bit of a breeze.  Brrrr!

Nothing much exciting today.  Went on our walks.  I did more shoveling off the deck after JB got on a ladder on the deck and knocked off most of the block of snow between the bathroom air pipe and the peak of the roof.

The sun was shining all day, but our high was only 14.

Friday 2/3: It is 10 and snowing this morning.  I may just hibernate for the weekend. . .

Thought for the day: It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important.  You have to do the right thing.  It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit.  But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing.  You may never know what results come from your action.  But if you do nothing, there will be no result.  Ghandi
