When I got up this morning, I looked out the window to see if there were any snow, but there was none. When I got down stairs to let Reggie out I noticed that it was snowing lightly. While Reggie was outside, I went out the front door and got the paper off the front porch.
I made myself some cranberry/nut toast and put peanut butter and a banana on it. While the bread was toasting I made a pot of coffee. Reggie wanted to come in so I let him in and gave him his morning treat. After breakfast, I poured myself another cup of coffee and went into the living room to read the paper.
When I finished the paper, I took it out to the recycling bag so that it could be picked up today. It was snowing a little harder now, but still not really sticking to anything. When I got inside Reggie wanted to go back outside so I let him out.
As I was letting him out I noticed that the upper area of the back yard had about a 1/4 inch of snow on the grass. The middle and lower areas did not have snow on it, I am not sure why, because the upper portion is not really that much higher than the rest of the back yard.
While I was out there I decided to do a little weeding, not much, but just enough to keep the garden looking like someone cared. When I went inside, I decided to look at some of the catalogs that I sorted out yesterday. I kept three of them and the rest I took out to the recycling bag.
As I was going back toward the house, I noticed some small branches that had blown down from the storms over the last couple of weeks. I picked up a couple handfuls and I noticed a couple cars driving by, the people in them were all bundled up and here I was in my shorts, tee shirt and sandals.
The mail came a little while after I got back into the house, so opened it up and took the junk mail out to the street for recycling. Kathleen came downstairs about 1115 and made herself something to eat.
I decided to go upstairs, bring down a box that I had of maps and travel brochures, and sort it out. I found several duplicates and some really outdated brochures, which I added to the recycling. Next I put them all in a file folder, by location so that they would be easier to find when I wanted them or to see what I needed to get new one for.
Kathleen decided to make herself some more to eat and I thought that it would be a good time to make myself some lunch. I heated up some meatloaf for last night and some mashed potatoes for Thursday’s Thanksgiving dinner.
After I ate, I went upstairs to do some more cleaning up in my “fly tying” room. I was able to get everything off the desk and so I wiped it down and then put things back to where I could use it when I needed or wanted to.
I also put all my empty containers into a large plastic container and all my empty zip lock bags into a large bag, (I use them for storing tying material). Then I put all my flies into containers, fly boxes, and put them into a large plastic container so that they will all be in one place when I need to find them.
Kathleen decided to heat up some left over meatloaf and baked potatoes from last night. We also had some applesauce to go along with dinner. After eating I gathered up all the dishes and flatware that I could find, loaded it into the dishwasher and started it up.
Well, I think that is it for tonight, I guess that our “threat” of snow is on hold for a few days, no precipitation in sight, it is just suppose to get cold for the next few days. By cold, they mean, just below freezing.
Good night!
