10º Again

7:36

Well, the cold has not bothered the birds because they are happily enjoying the black sunflower seeds. Despite the cold, a few intrepid ice fishermen are already out.

It Takes A Village

Yesterday was not the best of days because we were under the weather, feeling tired and achy for some reason. So we sucked it up and got a few things done nevertheless. We enjoyed our coffee and then made a short grocery list. I then went out and shoveled the driveway, three or four inches and then I was off to the Transfer Station, then to Wegmans at 10:30. It was a busy place and I wondered if it was because we were supposed to avoid shopping on Friday to protest the malign influence of billionaires, big corporations, and political parties. I doubt it. I was home by 12:30 and Evie made me a great ham and cheese sandwich, with mayo and mustard. Yum. And, fortunately, I was starting to feel better and more energetic. While I was shopping, Evie made herself bake the rest of the cookies because she had the dough in the refrigerator. 

Saturday Afternoon

Snow And Adirondacks

The afternoon went as usual, with me napping, reading and Evie watching The Crown for the second time and it's just as good as the first time. Around 4:00, despite the wind and snow, I made myself go out and clear the driveway again and go for a walk in Woodlawn. I was out for a half hour and actually liked it, the snow hitting my face, the wind.

Neither of us had much energy by 5:00, so we relaxed with a glass of wine, happy to be home, and for dinner, we had the leftover chicken with asparagus, no fuss. We watched the last two episodes of The Are Murders and then Evie went up to bed early, exhausted from her day. I watched an episode of my show and also went up to bed early.
