You know what kind of day it's going to be (or week, or month)

Washer dead, ordered wrong one, ordered deck for zero turn, missed turn for hairdresser, sent package bought on eBay to Delaware instead of home, washer arrived, decided to sell old dryer and get matching dryer (love the washer, the dryer isn't as good as my old one), bunnies galore in the yard,

Is it spring yet?

Well, seems like the weather, the flowers, and Stu think it is. 





Burgers done

Bacon on the way, sausage patties are next


But wait a few days! Wow, what a change.






Ciao for now!

A little catch-up of the last week or so...


There hasn't been much to post about lately. Stu watches his YouTube videos, I play games on my iPad. At night we watch the latest mystery mini-series or movies (most of our network shows are on hiatus). Then we go to bed, perchance to actually sleep. Our latest TV enjoyment has been watching the following:

Peacock: All Her Fault
NetFlix: His and Hers, Run Away, Broadchurch
Prime: Steal, Greenland

We did manage a movie run to Cookeville to see the sequel to Greenland - Greenland: Migration. What a dissapointment! Don't waste your money.

Things quickly changed the end of the week, along with the weather forecast for this weekend. Snow, ice, sleet, rain followed by more snow, ice, sleet, rain. It was time to get ready. With the generator prepped, battery charged and multiple propane tanks, that took care of power outages. Off to the grocery store. We hadn't been in a couple of weeks so the cart was over $300 when we checked out Thursday night. We worried about outages but only had two items that were substituted. Stu said when he got to Walmart at 10am, the pickup slots were full and he had to wait for someone to leave before he could park.

When the snow hit yesterday, it was light and powdery.


Stu used the leaf blower to clear it before it built up too much.


Growing up in New England, I love seeing the snow and watching it build up on the landscape. Especially since I don't have to go anywhere!


The next go-round was too heavy to blow so Stu had to resort to sweeping.


Cooper went out to help.


Stu had filled all the bird feeders in preparation and the birds were happy!


Then the rain started...


It's been raining almost continuously since late last night and since we are in the low 40s now, the snow is completely gone. No worries, right? Wrong! The temps will dip into the single digits overnight and we expect the driveway and deck will become skating rinks (as will many local roads). Good thing we have nowhere to go tomorrow. We do have two appointments on Tuesday but nothing that can't be rescheduled.

Meanwhile, Cooper is happy to lay around chewing on his Yak Cheese Chew stick.


That is when he's not chasing some small wild animal in our yard. 


Ciao for now!
