January 19, 2018 Eggs & More Warm Weather

Dinga making snow angels.

Wednesday 1/17. Yesterday and today the girls gave us four eggs!  The older ones have decided to lay again, too.

After lunch I drove Miss Kitty down to the main canyon road, with JB following in MAX.  I parked her there and we both rode back in MAX, with JB grooming the road as we went.

I received a very interesting article from Sandy regarding the October fires in Santa Rosa and how they made "some local residents question their complicated relationship with possessions."  Both residents who lost everything and those who lost nothing.  More and more people becoming minimalists.  "Love people and use things, because the opposite never works."

We were in the clouds all day and our high was 30.  Still much warmer than normal by five to eight degrees.

Thursday 1/18. It was 32 and breezy this morning.  Snow was falling when JB got up at 6:45 am, but the sky was mostly clear when I got up at 8:00.  Only got a heavy trace, nothing measurable.

JB spent the afternoon baking - banana-chocolate chip muffins and banana bread.  I vacuumed in the morning, wanting to use all the incoming power before the sun disappeared.

The girls gave us three eggs today.  That's eleven eggs in three days!  And in the winter!

Clouds moved in and the sky was overcast by late afternoon.  Our high for the day was 36.

Larry and Elsie drove up to play marbles.  Snow began falling when they arrived at 5:30.  Lots of laughter with the marbles, especially when the ladies win both games. . .

Friday 1/19. It is 28 and mostly cloudy this morning.  Looks like just another heavy dusting of snow overnight.

Thought for the day: Sorrow is how we learn to love.  Your heart isn't breaking, it hurts because it is getting larger.  The larger it gets, the more love it holds.  From Riding Shotgun by Rita Mae Brown
