COLD DARK ROOM

[Yvonne G]

In most cases, the Hwy department or the electric company has to trim the trees.. don’t believe they are supposed to leave the piles though.. ?. You might count call and find out who did it and make them clean it up..

It wasn't a gov't agency, no power lines involved (all buried utilities) It was a neighbor.

I don't know who it was. Here's what it looks like this a.m.



The branches laying on the ground pose more of a traffic problem than if they were up on the tree in my way of thinking. And there's plenty of room on the blacktop for two cars passing each other. Yes, it's not perfectly sculpted and landscaped, but it's not weedy and other than the branches on the ground, it's clean. I don't see what has been accomplished by cutting the branches and leaving them on the ground.

Well, I've dilly dallied and put it off long enough. Time to brave the cold cruel world and go outside.

Sunny, bright & cold start to our day. My bird bath fountain was flowing icicles. Soon time for it to come into the garage. More potting about in the garden. Our many year old dehydrator quit on us, soooooo, off to WalMart for a replacement. I think we had it for a good 7 years.

Im soon off up our ladder to the eaves of our house in order to hang one big wreath. It’s always a “hail mary“ process til i get up & down without falling.

Seems odd for someone to cut those, thats for sure. ?

So this should have said Alaska.. Bethel Alaska.. don’t know why I said Canada ?

Wow. I checked Bethel out on Google.... that’s way out there.
Months with snowfall in Bethel, Alaska, are January through June, September through December.

Heather is always welcome...any of my friends are. You might have to deal with a bunnah sniffing your ear while sleeping though.?

As long as it is not a duck. ??

Miraculously, I’m DONE!!!

I am unfortunately unable to post anything. As both Stephen and I have been confirmed (today ) as being covid positive. Not sure if it will be a good idea to send the germs on envelopes across the waters. I will sort something out once we have been given the green light.

This morning we took daughter to the next town over for lab checks for meds at 6am... then We went to IHOP for an early breakfast and on to the Christmas tree farm... we were back home with a 10-1/2’ fir by 11am... it’s currently standing but I dont believe I’ll start decorating until tomorrow..

We decorated ours over the weekend.

 

[CarolM]

I see a dash of color, but mostly white. I breed yellow, and white. I am trying for a pure white bird. But mine have a spot of green.

This was by pure chance.

 

[CarolM]

Good evenooning all.

It’s been a lovely still and sunny day today... a tad chilly, but that’s manageable!

Daughter wanted to do a Harvest Mouse survey this afternoon. She needed to check an area that we did together 3 years ago. It’s behind the Aldi supermarket and the golf driving range by the river - not exactly somewhere you think might be brimming with nature.

We weren’t disappointed and found nests again. Harvest mice are tiny. A family would have been raised in the nest in my hand. There’s no doorway, they force their way in through the woven grass and close it up behind them.

They offered coffee. I got a diet coke out of the vending machine. That's my coffee ?

My husbands as well.

Sooooo, I think we are now done with the Ships Galley box. Much scraping, much sanding, followed by multiple coats of varnish, sanding & more layers of UV protecting varnish. Other bits of the box coated with a marine grade white enamel.

Made another cube-in-a-cube. Here is the new one stacked on last weeks cube.

Oh Lord! Let us know your down safely! I used to actually enjoy cleaning my roof.. until we put a metal one on.. now I pray that it need no attention!!
