Just checked the power outages in the area of the 28,800 service meters there are 0 without power.
If I go out the garage and take a quick right I'll be able to walk Whipper on the golf course without stepping on a paved area. I just need to take a hammer along to free up the ice covered latches on the back gates.

61°F and 0 rain

Kekoa and Makani off to Vet this morning. Makani gets his staples removed. Both get semi annual checkup and shots. I don’t think they get alligator jab. Makani too young at 19 months and Kekoa just turned 5 yo.

Probably stop in Safeway while in town. Need to make PO run but likely be closed (11am) by time of return.

Will pressurize and fire up hot water heater later.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

26F with steady snow @ 11:30, was very fine but starting to see bigger flakes now. Windy enough that snow is coming down horizontal at times.

Rained most of yesterday afternoon/evening and we had a reasonable amount of melting with the gravel showing through in the driveway in spots. Was still rain coming down when I went out to pick up the pizza last night.

Woman went out and played in the packed frozen snow and ice on the driveway up here around the house, was out there for several hours. I went out and opened the new 5 gallon pail of ice melter which it turns out she did not need since there was enough rock salt left.

Got hopper and two sunflower tube feeders filled day before yesterday, plus two suet feeders. Also five scoops of corn put in the deer feeder. Not much activity out there yesterday (except for the deer feeder) ... so feeders still have seed in them. Expect they will need to be refilled by day's end though:

Refilled suet feeder at window over kitchen sink this morning as Woman reported there were birds out there looking for food. They were on it as soon as I rehung it.

Plant tending and fish room maintenance on agenda for today, plus some emails, bill payment scheduling and paperwork. Also house cleaning.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, safe and warm day ...

just read our local power company, the very large PECO, is changing their label and look. All new fonts.
Means all their outdoors stuff will get changed, all their letterheads, caps, truck lettering, you name it. What a bonanza for the
suppliers. Apparently PECO is getting split off from a parent conglomerate. Usually it's follow the money and who is trying
to milk equity out of the company.

getting even foggier out. Looks like a great afternoon for a nap.

Good afternoon all. Raining and 46 degrees out here in the beautiful Boston suburbs. Hope you all have a great day!

I was thinking of planting several apple trees here so I could be true to my avatar.
And then I reminded myself I live less than a mile away from two different apple orchards.

Drew try fastgrowingtrees.com. I have bought from them successfully just check out your growing zone. They have yellow and red twig dogwoods very spectacular and not overly large 4 by 6 feet, highly colorful in winter first saw them at Biltmore in NC

Just giving credit where it is due.
