I have learned how to size and post photos properly to the blog. And if you will go to the bottom of this page above the photo "Big Kahuna" you will see a rather obscure link titled older posts. This will take you to the beginning days of the blog. They are in the order of newest first. I have put photos in to illustrate each day. And for our Mixed Media Ski In Meeting on Wednesday 2/21 there is a new group of photos you might find fun. Although there seem to be some kinks in this process (or I just haven't figured it out yet), you can comment on a message and it will come to me in my email.

Sunny day, 5 degrees at 11 a.m., breezy...... those drifts aren't going anywhere yet. Joe fed the horses, brought in his fire wood and went to Pinedale for his eye doctor checkup. I saw the snowplow go by our mailbox this morning, so the road should be good for him. I hope they don't make the appointment for his second laser treatment until the weather gets a little better because we'll have to drive (100 miles one way) to Rock Springs for that. The oil field traffic is so bad on the highway any more I hate to drive down there even in good weather.

Joe has orders to get a 50 pound bag of sunflower seeds so the birds don't run out of seeds and die! Also there should be some boxes of checks at the bank. I have one check left. We will see how it goes, but I'm sure I'm going to have to take the sled out to where the truck is parked and haul in the bag of seeds. I'll do it tomorrow after he feeds the horses while the sled is still hooked up. Joe will eat in town. I toasted some biscuits and had clam chowder for lunch. The wind is moving snow again this afternoon.

About 2:30 p.m.: Joe just got back. He was plastered with the wind blown snow. The wind is VERY cold. He brought the bag of sunflower seeds in on his snow machine seat. What a guy. There were no checks at the bank although I ordered new ones twice. Joe said they dialated his eyes at the eye doctor and he thought he was going to have to stay in Pinedale all night because he couldn't see to drive, but he did come on home.

Judy Meyer's drawing of my dog Buster came today. I'm going to put a picture of it on the blog too. It looks exactly like him, just the way he used to look at me. The lemons my sister sent came today too, and they weren't frozen. She also sent some stuff to clean the marks out of my kitchen sink. I hope it works. And a Zane Gray book to read and return. I have a collection of Zane Gray.

Beverly called me in the evening and we talked for about an hour. It was good to hear from them. They are excited about going to Disney World for a family trip in about a month or so.
