A COLD WINDY DAY WITH A TOUCH OF SNOW

DSC_0002

The pace for our day was set early on when Kelly stepped out the front door with Pheebs & shouted back, ‘It’s snowing’!!   Well that was it for me & aside from slipping out to fill up the bird feeder I resigned myself to an inside day & that was it.

SURE WAS LOOKING NICER IN GRAND BEND ONTARIO (NEAR BAYFIELD) THAN IT WAS IN CONGRESS ARIZONA THIS MORNINGDSC_0004

TWO GAMBLES QUAIL SCRATCH AROUND IN OUR BACKYARDS SNOWY GROUND FOR SOME SEEDS EARLIER TODAY

Both wind & rain were hard at times Sunday night & we did lose most of our TV stations.  Even with headphones on plugged into my music I could still hear the occasional rumble of thunder.  It only took a slight adjustment of our satellite dish this morning to bring back our lost channels & we were fine for the rest of the day.  Good thing too as there wasn’t much else going on.

THIS LITTLE FLUFFED UP GAMBLES QUAIL SKITTERS ACROSS A THIN LAYER OF SNOW

Needless to say it turned out to be a cold gray overcast day so rather than let any of that seep into my post tonight I’ll just wind it up here & hope you all had yourselves a nice day”.

GROANER’S CORNER:((  An eighty-year-old man's golf game was hampered by poor eyesight. He could hit the ball well but he couldn't see where it went. So his doctor teamed him up with a ninety-year-old man who had perfect eyesight and was willing to go along to serve as a spotter.  The eighty-year-old man hit the first ball and asked his companion if he saw where it landed.  "Yep," said the ninety-year-old.  "Well where did it go?" the eighty-year-old demanded.  The ninety-year old replied, "I don't remember."

  7. We sure have a lot of nice days out here. Lots of sunshine, and the snow is gone again and temps reaching 50F. WHERE IS WINTER? Well, then we had this quake this morning, shook us all up, but no damage.

  8. Got 2" here and plenty of wind too. Still very cold so it's not melting fast enough for me. Nice that your kitchen is so cheery and bright.
