Good 39º cloudy morning.

There appears to be just a sprinkling of snow on my mountain top....

Yesterday stayed cool.... 49º with occasional rain (drizzle) and we probably got 12 or 10 drops of the wet stuff! .. and a touch of blue sky and some sunshine!

My tulips are on their last leg...

1969 – At the U.S. Academy Awards there is a tie for the Academy Award for Best Actress between Katharine Hepburn and Barbra Streisand.

And births this date includes.....

1925 – Rod Steiger, American actor (d. 2002)

I always thought he was beyond strange!

1932 – Loretta Lynn, American country musician/singer

1941 – Julie Christie, British actress

1977 – Chandra Levy, American intern (d. 2001)

Later dinner was Sole Almondine (Omaha Steaks) cooked in the Air Fryer and yam. (Cooked in Crock Pot with a little water, low for 4 hours)

Not only are yams a great source of fiber but they are high in potassium.  One medium banana has about 422 milligrams of potassium, which is about 11 percent of the 4700 milligrams adults should get daily. Now yams have about 670 milligrams after cooking ... boiled, or baked.

Next was chair, wine, and TV.

All I know. Nuff said. Happy TGIF. Ciao.
