January 13, 2012

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. My window is flooded with wonderful bright sunlight .. but it's very cold! The wind howled all night, though it has slowed a little bit now. It will only get to mid to upper 40s today, with a wind chill of around 20. Hello winter!
Yesterday: That might have been our last gasp of unseasonably warm (then again, maybe not!), so we got outside stuff done. Most of the lights and other decorations are packed up and put away for the year ... I did leave a few things out, just because it's so awfully dreary when they all go at once. :) Last night's wind knocked the deer over, but nothing is damaged. I even managed to get to town to pick up another med, and some more dog food.
Today: I hope I don't have to leave the house today! :) I've got to finish getting the upstairs room cleaned and organized, and continue to make a bit of progress with packing things up. It's sad to see all the pretty lights get turned off, but it's time. Of course, as soon as Christmas is packed, it'll be time to bring out Valentine decorations! :)
Are any of you superstitious? I was raised in a somewhat superstitious home. My grandmother was extremely so; my mother to a lesser degree (and my father not at all that I know of). Me ... not so much! LOL! So, today is Friday the 13th. It holds no fear for me .. because I've very often through the years had good luck either on the Friday or the Saturday following. So, I'm quite happily waiting to see what wonderful thing will happen today or tomorrow. :)_



These are some of the "puppies" that showed up in my yard last year and never left. There are 5 of them. Today is the first time the black one was brave enough to come all the way under the porch while I was still out there!
