Good 33ยบ cloudy very foggy (what's new?) morning. We did get a bit of sun
again yesterday before the clouds roared in and the wind kicked up. Rain came
down for a few about midnight. Pressure now going up. Snow predicted for
tomorrow.
This from my buddy Joe Kirk....

When he was younger he and Donnie Wahlberg (Bluebloods) looked a lot alike...
gag!
Yesterday 'my' goosies came back! Every year like clock work they fly in,
honking, and sit on the barn roof awaiting the rest of the family. (I know it's
"geese" .... don't give me a bad time!) They are friendly to me, probably
because there is cracked corn out there for them. They will nest, eggs will
hatch in the Spring, and off they will go until next year. I always enjoy their
visits! Hi goosie gooses!
Yesterday was haircut day. Had fun at the shop with Leah and the 'girls'.
We did a lot of laughing! Then the market, post office, and to Ace. I showed
Dave at Ace the good job the WD40 did keeping out the critters. Told him to pass
it on. He did say he's never had a problem, but then he said he sprays off his
engine with WD40 and wipes it down periodically. DUH, Dave you invented this!!!!
Then a drive out to Jeannie and Bill's to deliver her the Avon I had
ordered from Kristen. It was one of those great deals... buy one and get two
free and free shipping! Zowie. Anyway, Jeannie and I had a wine and chatted.
Such a great view from their top of the hill house! I didn't take any pictures
but the clouds were many shades of grey and pink and yellow.
All I know. Phone guy supposed to be here today, maybe, to transfer the
phone lines from the old pole to the new pole. Then I have to notify power
company to take out the old pole. Frank (my neighbor) is going to use the pole
to repair our bridge down by the main road.
Nuff said. Happy Thursday. Ciao.
