March 30, 2018 Eggs, Mail & More Bare Ground

Our road on Wednesday.
Most of it looks like this,
with a few bare patches.

The main canyon road right where
our road meets it.

Wednesday 3/28. Had a nice long chat with Sandy this morning.  They have had some much-needed rain in Santa Rosa, but it was 80 there yesterday.

After chores and hanging up the laundry, I drove Miss Kitty down around noon to pick up the mail and send a birthday card to our granddaughter.  On the way back up, I enjoyed a nice long visit with Larry and Elsie.  So great to have them at home now on the weekdays.  All in all, a very social day.  And a great day for a drive in the mountains, with a high of 51.

And it was also a four-egg day!  But one of them had no shell, membrane only, so I left it in their house for them to eat.

Our little herd of five deer has grown to more than eight.  If the dogs are inside when the herd passes through, we don't let them out.  Very frustrating for the dogs, but the deer have a chance to graze, and we have a chance to watch them.

We watched When Harry Met Sally last night and this evening we watched John Wick.  Complete opposites, but both very entertaining.

Thursday 3/29. It was 30 and mostly overcast this morning with just a slice of blue sky to the west.

We both got outside to work a bit on clearing the drains of ice, and gathering downed branches.  That slice of blue to the west didn't expand any, so the day was mostly cloudy with a high of 49.

It was another four-egg day, and all were perfect.

I spent some time looking for old photographs from the 1930's, '40's and '50's  of my Dad's best friend.  I found three and emailed them to his son.

Friday 3/30. It is 36 this morning with mostly clear skies, except for around the edges.

Thought for the day: Intellectual brilliance is no guarantee against being dead wrong.
