Wednesday 12/27. A lazy morning. I have started the book that JB gave to me for Christmas, The Whispering Room by Dean Koontz. Wow!
I went out around 1:00 pm to get a bag of chicken feed out of the root cellar. Not quite as easy as expected, but I managed to get a bag out and pulled it down to the hen house on the sled. Meanwhile, JB got the snowblower out to clear as much as possible before the forecast snow hits tonight. (The snow that never arrived.)
The fog cleared and a light snow began to fall while we were doing all that. The snow only lasted for about an hour and left just a smattering on the ground. Not even enough to measure.
Our high for the day was a balmy 22 and the sky was almost clear by sunset.
Thursday 12/28. It was 17 and overcast this morning. I left in Miss Kitty to check the mail around 10:30 am. No problems at all going down or coming back up. Had a nice visit with Mrs. Gridder and was home in less than two hours.
While driving back up, a few snowflakes were falling. One of several failed attempts for a real snowfall. By the time of our afternoon walk there was a light sleet falling, but the actual snowfall didn't start till about 5:30 pm.
Randy has a moose visiting his house again this winter. Not an animal you want to meet face to face, so Randy is always on the lookout. He is getting a lot more snow and colder temps than we are over there near Bonners' Ferry, ID.
JB made a big pot of chili for dinner, and I made my Mom's recipe for rice pudding for dessert.
Our high for the day was 32. Almost didn't need a coat. . .
Friday 12/29. It is 24 with a light sleet falling this morning. Not a lot of snow so far this year.
Thought for the day: Today choose forgiveness over self-pity. Choose vulnerability over putting up walls. Choose joy over fear. Guideposts, January 2018
