Christmas Day


Dec 21 December Rain

The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Cats fed, but no water. So next I get the giant bowl, get fresh snow off the back deck, gas up the gen. Clean the dust off the electric induction burner, melt snow. No problem. The giant bowl,…


Dec 20 Two out of Three

The two most powerful warriors are patience and time. Leo Tolstoy The snow fell overnight, not as much as advertised. That’s good. I still have to drive into town. Only problem is now freezing rain is predicted. I think I will just let the weather sort itself out. As always cats are fed and watered,…


Dec 19 Snow Man

HBYFT Some days I would go without any fire at all, and eat raw frozen meat and melt snow in my mouth for water. Buffalo Bill From Accuweather “Dull and dreary with snow” The snow started. I was going to make the trip into town. I was waiting for some freight. I didn’t get confirmation…


Dec 18 Smell That Smell

Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days. Benjamin Franklin Taking a break, cats fed & watered, fuel for the gen poured in the machine , oil added, big honkin litter box dragged up to the back door.  That is as far as I got. Sitting in my woodwork shop, huffing and puffing. The…

Dec 15 Villian

According to some I am the villian in the narrative. I made a serious mistake years ago I married a narcissitic physcopath. They always need a villian, so they can play hero. That is far from the truth. I wrote a novel with all the details, it is already at the publisher.


Dec 12 Cold Chimbley

I got a flue shot and now my chimney works perfectly. Steve Martin Another warm spell is forecast. TG. My heat situation is still nonexsistent. I have usb heated gloves and heated back pad at the post office. My chimney I hope to fix soon, the diesel heater still not installed. I am sure freezing…


Dec 10 Repitition

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. Benjamin Franklin Repetition, it is the only answer as you age. Doing the same things, the same way. It overides any attempt at nuerons failing. So far. Cats are fed and watered, water for coffee is on the boil. ⁰i…
