Good 31º snowy morning. Just a dusting......
The sunset yesterday, 4:08pm......
And the turkeys were all huddled up on my fence...... such funny
guys!
Bruiser watches from his perch on some stacked up chairs on the
porch....

I posted the following on my blog www.susan-maxwell.com a number of years
ago. Just read it again and thought it a good time to post here....
"The seasons all remind me of things, winter reminds me of quiet.
Shhhhhh....... Let's cook something that will warm us up, lets read a book
snuggled on the couch with the cat, let's make hot chocolate and watch a movie
... Spring is always memorable because of the jump at you beauty. Summer is so
busy with activities and places to go. Fall air just makes you feel good and
alive. Then winter. I always look forward to it, only because growing up and
living in Southern California we didn't have 4 seasons. Wait, we did ... Fire,
Flood, Riot, and Hollywood's Award Season! (Gag, don't they ever quit patting
themselves on the back!) I'm not whining, mind you, I do love each day and it's
presentation. As with the constant heat of summer, the fog this winter was
deflating. But, then again, each day brings a new promise. Today it's windy.
Watching the leaves swirl and blow ... the wind chime is in full concert ... cat
and dog are close by. I'll live! :O)"

Just a mere 355 days left until the end of 2013. Zipping along
already!!
On the 5th of January our LA Sheriff's Department lost "one of the best."
Dave Ane left us with heavy hearts. Dave was special in so many ways. I still
can see him greeting Jerry, every single time, by picking him straight up off
the ground and giving him a 'Dave bear hug' !! I'm sure those two are sharing
tall tales together now. RIP Dave.
And a special birthday today.... PatC .... HAPPY BIRTHDAY girlfriend! We'll
party next week! You share your birthday with some of the best singers! Can you
sing, Pat?
Historically this date....

Bittersweet Chocolate Day
Houseplant Appreciation Day:
The holidays are over. The decorations have been put away for
another year. The house looks a little plain, a little drab. In the greyishness
of January, your eye catches something in the corner of the room. Why, it's a
houseplant! Funny, but with all of the holiday hubabuloo, you've all but
forgotten your houseplants. Today is THE day to get back to tending to, and
loving your houseplants.
Peculiar People Day:
Peculiar People Day is in honor of uniquely different people. Un-ordinary,
extraordinary, unusual, strange, odd, uncommon, intriguing, different, abnormal,
and quirky.... These are all things that we think of to describe the word
"peculiar". Most of these characteristics can be viewed as good, or not so good.
Today is a day to look for the good in your peculiar acquaintances.
