A bit windy here too. But nothing like Jane mentioned. Buffalo often gets those lovely snow showers. Lake affect snow from Lake Erie.

I have hamburger and I just put it in the freezer.  My plan was to make meatloaf out of it but I got sidetracked with the sauerkraut!  And today the hamburger went into the freezer.  Maybe later this week I'll get it made!

Now I'm ready for the haystack!  I'm really tired and I don't know what I did today to make me so tired.  You don't suppose it has anything to do with my getting on in age, do you?

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy day tomorrow.  Make it your own in every way!

Another day has come to an end..
Kyle has an appointment in the morning ,would like to see if Babe and jesse could get a pedicure.


Jane, try your cole slaw with the hamburg! I will even sprinkle on a meat sandwich.

Rick, Buffalo seems to always get a good snack of snow. Winds have died down here and it is not snowing. Maybe no dancing in the morning!

Enjoy your evening..nite.

Just want to say hello and let you know I am still among the living.

Surgery was Wednesday and I got home on Thursday afternoon. 

Pretty darn uncomfortable but one day at a time🙏🙏

Feel better - Heal quickly

Thanks for the report, Jenny. Glad you are home and able to post.

Hi Don!

A few brave ships started the trek across Lake Huron several hours after I posted. Many of them stayed put for a while longer.

I am about to crash for the night. Catch you all tomorrow.

Jenny, I was so glad to see your post, and I'm hoping all those pains go away quickly!

We haven't had any wind this time, we are having snow, but it's the powder so probably no real accumulation.

MG, I'm going to have to go back and check my cams. I've let several of them slide this past year.

Amy, your dinner sounded good to me. I made a quick potato soup out of corn, carrots, potatoes, milk and some seasoned flour as I forgot to set anything out to thaw.

Good Morning Everyfriend!

I'm having breakfast and waiting for Cooper's arrival!


JENNY, my prayers are with you for a quick recovery and good days ahead!

PATRICIA, your quick dinner sounded good but I don't know what "seasoned flour" is.  Does it come seasoned or do you make it that way yourself?

AMY, I'm with you!  Cole Slaw goes with just about anything!

Gotta get ready for Cooper's arrival!  Make today a good one any way you want it!

Good morning..

Starting out at 5°F and NO new snow!! I now have a quilt delivery to the list of to dos.

Jenny good to see you and like others wish you a speedy recovery.

Patricia, your soup sounds good!

Rick ,did you get any snow your way or was it just wind and rain?

Jane. I have even sprinkled your cole slaw on top of a salad! Yes ,it does go with everything!

Better get going..I am up but I think my attem stayed in bed..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Yesterday was fairly nice. Some wind, but no rain or snow. BUT - Snow predicted for tonight and tomorrow morning. I think this time we'll get it. It will stick, and stay, as we are below 32° all week.

Good mid-morning, it's plus nine and snowy in the Interior. We've had snow for several days. But, more of the fluffy blowing type than the stick to it type, only 0.02 accumulation.

That may change today as 3–6 inches is forecast, but, we'll see. Snow is predicted all week again, but otherwise no real accumulation expected. Dry climates like ours usually lack humidity and need it for real snow. Anchorage on the other side of the Alaska Range has lots of snow as it is by the gulf.

Jane, I season the flour when I'm making a base for something or a crust. I have various types of salt and pepper that I grind as I need it, and numerous spices that I use daily. I'm particularly fond of using green pepper with meat and vegetables dishes. Likewise, I also make different types of spiced butter.

But, this time I used ground black pepper and kosher salt plus Weber's Roasted garlic and herb, Tony Chachere's Famous Creole Cuisine, no salt added, Turmeric, and at the last, a tablespoon of Nutritional Yeast, cheese, savory flavor.

I admit to using Weber's and Creole Cuisine on almost every savory dish, like some people do with salt or pepper. It's particularly good on eggs.

PATRICIA,  all good ideas and some I've used...some I havent.  But I bet I will!

Try some Oregano in your scrambled eggs

Thanks for the tip! I'll try that.

And the snow has started   

Another day over and done.  Each day I feel a bit stronger.

I will see my long time in home PT tomorrow.  I can not wait to see her.  She will work on my good shoulder right now, but this therapist will help for my recent neck surgery when given the OK for it.

Thank you for the wonderful encouraging words.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  Well, there;s snow out there!  I don't know yet how much we got and I'm pretty sure it isn't finished yet.  It's supposed to start again around 8 and last until around noon!  I think we're in for it.  I have a dr. appt. at 3 this afternoon and I'm supposed to get a delivery of my special eye drops this morning.  I wonder.....

I guess I better hit the shower and get dressed, just in case!  I also have some things that need to be either frozen today or cooked and then frozen.  Also maybe some of them eaten if I'm tempted.  Better get this day moving and see what happens!  I wish you all a good one!  Make it your own in every way!  And tell us what you're doing or what you did!

Good morning.
No new snow here but a tad chilly with a temp of 14° at the moment.

Will head to town to pick up a few things then home to make apple sauce. May be a good day to cook up some pork and have some applesauce with it!

Rick, thank you, never thought of putting oregano in the scrambled eggs. Have put cheese in it and bacon bits though. Please keep snow there...son got held up this side of the border as Buffalo was shut down.

Jenny, one day at a time will help you get through this. You can do it!!


Jane, hope the snow accumulation  holds off till after you get home from your Dr.s appointment.

Better get on with the day.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning at 7:19 in the Interior with plus 12. We didn't get the 3–6 snow inches promised, perhaps it fell in the mountains instead? In any case, snow is promised all week, as it was last week.

Today's promising chores are cleaning the cat box and taking out the garbage. I say promising because it was supposed to have been done yesterday. I also need to water my plants. Since they are on top of an eight shelf unit, because of a cat who enjoys fresh greens, it won't be a simple task.

Jenny, I'm glad you have confidence in your pt. Hopefully, you will soon be in better shape with less pain. In my experience, muscle pain is more painful than most, so I can sympathize. Those 18 weeks with my hip and foot showed me how what the doctors told me was simple with no broken bones was anything but.

Jane, we have snow out there too and for me, while aggravating, It's so much better than our earlier wind whipped ice. Of course, these days I'm rarely out in it, so that isn't saying much.

I hope you can make your doctor's appointment and get your eye drops in delivery. I would think that would count as a priority. 

I'm tempted too often while making or trying something new. And some foods I've learned not to buy, simply because they don't last once I get them home. I miss the days of bartering among friends who had large gardens and game. Covid, and that terrible snowy winter of 2021, ended that.

Rick, I've put the oregano on the table, waiting for my planned lunch of scrambled eggs and toast.

Amy, pork and applesauce would be great. I put the last of my chicken drumsticks out to thaw for tonight. I won't be buying them again, as once you de-skin and debone, there isn't that much meat.

I was blindsighted yesterday, while checking my mail. A resident accused me of being antisocial. She said she never sees me at events nor sitting in the recreation rooms. She told me I'd be happier if I was more engaged. I was struck dumb and what came out was, "You'd think." And I made my escape. I'm always thinking of better comebacks after an event than beforehand.

Last night I finished my computer set up. It only took me eleven days. Sometimes I wish I had a more seamless way, but AI hasn't gotten to that point yet. My externals have info going back to 1999, but I only use a portion of my files for setup.

I've been doing that for years, and call it my "Eggs Italiano". My wife was Italian and loved them that way.  Probably a silly thing to say, but the oregano goes in before cooking.

No one here tonight? Probably too cold.

Just stopping by to say "Good Night Everyfriend".  This has been a busy day.  I ended yesterday with one bottle of eye drops left to start the day on two eyes.  Thank goodness, the new supply arrived in spite of the snow!

We had about a foot of snow altogether but it did stop around 1 p.m. and the roads were clear enough to make my ear appt at 3:30.  I asked Cathy if she wanted me to call and change it and she said it was OK. 

JENNY, I hope your arm is feeling better today.
PATRICIA, I hope you got your plants watered.  I hope you were careful when you watered them.

I have to hit the haystack now.  Cooper will be coming tomorrow and it's going to be another COLD day!  This week is all going to be below freezing...mostly in the teens and singles!  I'm ready for SPRING!

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  Make the day your own in every way!

Good evening, 7:24 in the evening with plus 20, and we had snow, the light fluffy type, the most of all winter, and it's still falling.

I had stopped in to post some new graphics in the Cards folder and might put a couple of photos in. One of them is a fast-growing plant I've had since last year and don't know what it is. The other one is our snow, the most we've had so far this year.

Rick, by whatever name, those eggs were good, and I'll make them again!

Jane, I use my portable step and bring all the plants to my sink. I put them in a rubber tub and add water so they soak it up from the bottom, before draining them. They then go back up on the shelf.

I even got the kitties litter dumped into the garbage and the box washed, refilled and back in place. Then out to the dumpster and washing that can and adding a new bag. I seem to be the only one I know who washes the two, litter box and garbage can weekly. No one else seems to do it, but I've always cleaned them before re-using, like my mom did.

Now to see if I get my file folders reorganized and into the lockbox.

Enjoy your time with Cooper tomorrow, now that you've got the drop delivery and appointment out of the way.

We've had plus temperatures during the week and colder minuses on the weekend. We'll see if that still holds true with the new snow.

 

Good Morning Everyfriend! It's time for Cooper's arrival so I might be called away and have to finish this later.

PATRICIA, it sounds like you are MOST careful when you do the plants.  And it sounds like the plants are lucky to have you around.  It also sounds like you take good care of the kitty and that kitty care things are kept clean.  You'd be a good neighbor to have around!

I think I'm going to close this so I'm ready when Frankie calls to say she's on the way.  Have a good day Everyfriend!  Make it your own.  Make it your best possible! 

Good morning...

Our temps are taking a plunge ,starting with  -6°F this morning.

Yesterday took on a different direction with the dogs fillay getting their nails done. The young lady is so patient with them ,Babe is not too bad to do but the pup has other ideas on getting his nails cut. I did give him 1 1/2 pills but not until evening did they start to really work. Needless to say I took advantage of that and managed to get some cut.

Apples are still needing to be done, plus corral the dust kangaroos.

Jane, have fun  with cooper today..

Patricia, loved your photos. With that bright light light you could grow lettuce in pots!

Rick, we did get a light dusting of snow, nothing to be concerned about though. Temps are plummeting and it is not fit for man or beast outside. I pity any dog or cat that is left outside.

Better get a move on..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Our snow has stopped and it is now bright and sunny ----- But cold. 14° when I got up. At this time there's more snow due on Friday.

Nice bright sunny day here and the temp has raced to 13°F.

Good day to look out at the weather .

A friend down the street stopped in his car to talk to us on our afternoon walk and we decided together that our favorite seasons are Spring and Autumn!  Summer is too hot and Winter is too cold!

RICK, you and I must be in the same weather zone.  We're supposed to have more snow on Friday, too!  As far as I'm concerned that can turn into a mistake!

Cooper is going to spend the night with me.  Frankie has an appointment after work and she's always worn out anyway so she's going to leave him here overnight.  I'll have a cuddler tonight!  And company for supper.  Got the pork chops and scalloped potatoes ready for supper and I think I'm going to cook some frozen peas to go with it! 

I'm heading for the time of my last special eye drops.  Then I have the old ones to do and the heat and I'm finished until one at bed time.  I feel like that's about all I do these days!  But I am seeing better so I guess it's worth it!

Hope you are all having a good day!  Keep on keeping on!

Good morning..

Wild and windy last night with a deposit of maybe 2 inches of snow. That will have to wait to be dealt with. We are taking the vehicle back to the dealer to get the heated seat repaired. Passenger gets warm buns but not the driver.   This is a 2 1/2 hour job and then we are heading back home.

Jane, I agree, love Spring but please no skeeters or blackflies.Did Cooper share the bed or is he like these two,they hog the bed!

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  It's COLD out there this morning!  I didn't look at the temp because if I have to go out there, I don't really want to know HOW cold it is!

AMY, Cooper is a snuggler and if I don't move, I can keep my space with him warming up one side of me!  Last night, he did three areas.  He moved from around my knees to my hip area and then up to my shoulders!  I thanked him for warming me up all over.

It's not supposed to get really sunny today so I guess the snow won't be melting and, as Rick said, there's supposed to be more on Friday!  I won't mind if the powers that be change their minds and dump it in the ocean!

Guess I better get started on SOMETHING around here.  It'll be time for my next eyedrops soon and they ARE an interruption!

I wish you all a good day.  Make it your own in every way!  And enjoy it!
