January 25, 2019 More Winter Days & Calico Princesses


Our side burms continue
to grow.





Wednesday 1/23. The high valley fog kept climbing in and out of Rose Camp early in the day.  But when JB and the dogs went on their morning walk, it had almost completely disappeared from everywhere.  Quite unusual.  The sun was shining in a blue sky and the temperature had risen to its high of 38.

Another winter day on the mountain.

Thursday 1/24. It is 28 this morning with a partly cloudy sky and valley fog, which did not disappear at all today.  However, the clouds moved on and we had blue sky and sunshine until mid afternoon when more clouds formed a heavy overcast by the time of our afternoon walk.  Our high for the day was 40, and am sure that was when the sun was shining.

After lunch, JB and I dug out the fire pit.  I brought out several small boxes of old paperwork to be burned, some dating back to 2006.  Amazing how long it takes to burn in a shallow fire "bowl."  But we did get rid of 1-1/2 boxes and will do more tomorrow if the weather allows.

When I spoke with Elsie this evening, she told me how much she likes their new hens who are Calico Princesses.  They are very sociable with humans and follow her about outside.  They would have followed her right into the house had she let them!  Also, they like to be picked up and held.  Oh, they are definitely the kind I want to get this year.

Friday 1/25. It is 30 and mostly cloudy this morning with a breeze.  If the breeze continues, we won't be using the fire pit today.  No precipitation in the forecast for a while, thank goodness.

Thought for the day: Sometimes the only way to get rid of a temptation is to give in to it.  Oscar Wilde
