Cold


What the leftover duck became.


AC, I thought you may enjoy my plaid pants. They are really pajama bottoms but I wear them as pants. Rockin' style!


I was doing well at dismantling Christmas when a friend called. Since we are both talkers I never did get the job done. So, on the list for today. It's cold, but then it is January. Below zero overnight and low double digit highs. We do need snow. Otherwise, life is its usual quiet. No complaints here on that. We have soup to warm us and I'll have bread in the oven. Not bad.

Another Year

The boys patiently lined up to come in.


The rain we had a few days ago took our snow. Dreary. It looks like November. We had a peaceful New Year day, a fire and a Twilight Zone marathon. Rod Serling was a genius.

Today I'll pack away Christmas and the rooms will look empty for awhile. I did really enjoy the feel of it this year, but now it's time. I don't make resolutions, I never kept them anyway, but I decided on a commitment, which is just another way of making a resolution. The past several months I fell away from my stretching and exercise routine. What did I think, I'd simply get stronger and more flexible doing laundry? As they say, I'm not getting any younger. As a matter of fact, my birthday is next week. Yes, I am a Capricorn. An old goat.

I think I'll go eat my toast and peanut butter and pedal my machine that takes me nowhere.
