Yesterday morning was nice and warm. I decided to get out and mow the yard. But I had to go buy gas at a station about 8 miles down the road. By the time I got back a Texas Blue Norther had blown in. Temperature dropped 15 degrees and it started raining. Oh, well. Best laid plans of mice and men.
The temperature merry-go-round will continue today with temps dropping from near 40 down to 30 by the end of the day with wind. (oh joy).
Hopefully my sister’s car will be out of the shop this afternoon (brake job) so I can have my Jeep back, I can use my nephew’s Jeep but, I like mine better.
I’m going to look through images of Sugaring on line to get set of pictures for FB to show Jan some sugar houses in full boil. There aren’t as many sugar operations as there used to be, you could see steam rising from many wood lots as just about every farmer tapped Maple trees in the spring.
Well, it only got down to a positive 0.1 degrees this morning, and it’s all the way up to 4 right now. It’ll get up to the teens before another Arctic Blast drops down this afternoon.
It’s so nice to see how the animals are adapting to this cold snap. The deer’s coats are really fuzzy, and even our resident cottontail has an extra layer of fuzz. Today we tossed out banana peels and they just loved them. Who would ’a thought.
Thank you Mark. Looking forward to seeing the pics. I can almost smell the maple steam.
Yesterday was pretty quiet. We played World of Warcraft for a while and watched a bit of TV. I did start a new character on WoW to see if I could play by myself. Boring! My fun comes from playing with Michael and the interaction between us.
My arm finally appears to be healing. Wednesday it was awful and yesterday it almost didn’t hurt at all. Today, so far so good. Thank you for your prayers.
The weather is a bit warmer than yesterday. 35 now, high to be 51. It occasionally gets below freezing, but it never stays cold enough long enough to cause problems with the plumbing, even the outdoor sprinkler risers.

Good morning Vagabonds.The rain is continuing for awhile this morning and then stopping with the temp going up some.
Another slow day with not much happening other than taking communion to my shut-in friend.
After that I will have to install my new printer as my old one is having problems and doesn’t want to print all the words.
Hope it warms up for you Rita. I couldn’t take those temps.
Have a good day everyone.
