Fremont Lake Panorama - Click It to View Larger.EXCEPT FOR THE WIND!!! It’s another nice day – somewhat warmer. Brilliant blue sky, lots of sun glaring off the snow. Yesterday I saw 37 and today 34 for highs. Water is dripping off the roof. The roads are clearing off a little and there are slush and puddles. The snow pack is also settling down considerably right now.
I was late getting up because I slept very poorly last night. I’m sure it’s the change in the medicines (less pain med) that is causing things to be different. But I’m feeling quite good at the moment. Joe did go to coffee again and got the mail.
Gina called this morning and came over for a cup of tea. I popped some of those refrigerated dough cookies into the oven for a snack with our tea. After we got all the world’s problems discussed, I sort of twisted her arm to help me get almost all the paintings that have been stacked against the wall in the guest room, hung up through the rest of the house. That was fun doing it together, and thank you very much for helping Gina. No telling how much longer I’d have procrastinated doing that. A deer portrait sketch has gone missing somewhere, and there is a set of three of those. We wanted to stick them near the front door, but I’m going to have to find it again before I can hang them and get the spacing correct.
Then we decided to go have a burger at the Stockman. So I heated Joe a bowl of leftover stew and off we went. Good food and conversation. Next I drove out to Ruth’s frame shop to see if the snow scene had been framed yet. It will be going in my bedroom when it’s done. She said she was still waiting for our certain mat board liner to come in. I was going to the Cowboy Shop to see about snow boots but spaced that out so will have to go back. I tried yesterday too, but when the power went off they closed early. Next went to the clinic and Amy flushed the picc line.
When I got home, although windy, I took the dogs for a walk up the hill. I think I have figured out where Mary Pat’s house is – Just very nearby – but I can’t see where her driveway is yet. I saw her out walking her dog on the road as I left yesterday and we said “hi”. She has a little wire haired fox terrier - it looks like. She is the one who stopped when we were moving in and asked Curtis if he would come and build her a fence too. He told her it would be $6 or 7000, and she agreed, never dreaming he was pulling her leg, and wasn’t from here either. He got such a kick out of that. Mary Pat is a wonderful person. She has a cabin over in the Wyoming Range and has had our Mixed Media art group come and stay for days to paint there.
We both can tell the difference in how much warmer the house is with the new blinds pulled down over the windows. Sure hope it helps with the gas bill.
Tonight is a program presented by the Pinedale Fine Arts Center with flamenco dancers. Lois gave me her season tickets for the programs when she went south last month, so I am planning on going to see that tonight. I’ll let you know how enjoyable it is. There is leftover spaghetti for dinner which will be easy. Harder may be deciding what to wear.
