Feb 16 Snow?

No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn. Hal Borland A winters day. Cats needed feeding and water, kindling rendered, boards cut.

Tough times never last, but tough people do. Robert . Yesterday. Cats got fed and watered. Two flat tires were filled, snow got shovelled, got out of the driveway. It was a little icy. I was thankful the snowplow guy didn’t do my driveway properly. When the snow melted on the warm days, it left…

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. Thomas A. Edison It was of course colder last night than predicted. It was 0 in the fireroom. I haven’t had a fire for 3 days. It was warm enough. Besides I needed to…


Feb 7 Cold War

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. Albert Einstein That was a good start. I started on my kitchen today. I have neglected that too long. Most of the mess in there was due to cats, very evil cats….
