Still .......... Another very quiet day. A few paperwork tasks needed to be accomplished. And I sat here and went through my inbox to send a response to messages that had been sitting there, many from when the computer was broken and dated last December. Most of my notes were small, since people seem to come to the blog for the news, but I felt like I still wanted to answer when you had questions etc. For a while I would get 10 or 12 answered and 15 would come in when I connected. Whew. Have the inbox down to 4 (that's four!), and if you are one of those I'll write soon. This is a good feeling. I also got more Nancy D letters transcribed and can send the originals to her daughter in a couple of days now.
Another sunny morning, with cloudy bright this afternoon and chance of snow OR RAIN! It got to about 38 degrees and the snow is noticeably melting. At least no wind so far. Sunday I heard cranes in the distance but haven't seen any here yet. I know they are in fields where the snow has gone off. So Welcome Cranes~! Our blackbirds had left for a while when they saw how much snow was still here and no food available. I saw a flock in the trees again yesterday morning.
Joe went out today and cleared the ice and snow off the top and caps of the propane tanks (remember I said the drifts had entirely covered them now). I have no idea how he got over there, but it's a very good thing he has very long legs. The dogs didn't go with him. They knew better. The feed sleds are also more covered than I have ever seen them.
Tonight we're going to have shrimp scampi, rice pilaf, artichokes, salad with homemade ranch, and banana nut crumb muffins.
Tomorrow morning I'll meet Judi at Rendezvous Pointe and we'll go up to Jackson. Will meet Maxine on the way to give her things to her.
Spaceweather.com has some interesting night sky events. You can check it out if you're interested, but they sound beautiful. One was last night actually, but I procrastinated getting this in yesterday.
