Today ...

[Robert]

Our first substantial snowstorm yesterday. We got 6" and our temps this morning were -3°, bbrrrrrrr

Got out the snow blower and cleared the 2" off the drive so spoiled daughter can drive in and park in garage. Yes, my vehicles are both parked outside.

Making lunch and my wife calls from the living room to look out the window. 2 bald eagles circling and diving at the river? Again. Splashes but they didn't touch the water...? Again... Oh, I see a duck! One eagle would come in and attack while the duck would dive under water to safety as the second eagle timed the duck coming up to try his turn at grabbing the duck. Again they circle and dive taking turns of who tries first with the second trailing behind to time the duck coming up. Again. And again. And then the eagles fly off to rest in the tree on the other side of the river.

The children almost enjoyed that as much as me.

You must have an interesting place to live.

Today, my wife and I went to lunch at Hardy's after her Drs appointment. They do have pretty good onion rings and the hamburger was good too. My wife said the codfish sandwich was great! I read about 1/3 of a book while waiting for her appointment to be completed...

Today my wife had her bloodwork done and this afternoon I am off to the dentist for a small adjustment in my lower plate. The temperature is up to 0° now, though it was at -10° when we got up. Getting ready to go off to the dump now. I wonder what I will find there today? I almost always find something good to retrieve. Last time was a battery powered drill, still in the box, with two batteries and charger and none of it looked like it had been used at all. I charged the batteries and it is working very nicely. Panasonic is a good brand too!

Sounds like we escaped the frozen north just in time. (We moved from Minnesota to Mexico in October.) Today is another clear, sunny day with temps rising from freezing at night to mid 60s in the afternoon. Right now the four oldest are doing their schoolwork at the dining room table beside the wood stove. It took several days to get our adobe walls warmed up but now the house feels quite comfortable all day long. At night the bedrooms are a bit chilly but not overly so. Makes for great sleeping!

Christmas is coming.... Today it's time to begin working on part of my wife's gift. It will be a 3 dimensional cedar sign, sandblasted wood grain background and the butterfly will be lifted off of the background to give it a floating look. The cobbler's children have been without shoes long enough!

hoping for a Signtist update!
'miss you, Signtist!

Diminishing winds, visibility fair to poor, a few roads being opened.
