SO MUCH TO DO AND SO HAPPY I AM TO DO IT:))

ICE BENDING THE CEDAR BRANCHES DOWN TOP RIGHT

Despite a freezing rain advisory and a howling cold windchill factor of 21F this morning, I loaded up the furry little Doggy Doogans, and off we went for a jaunt down to the end of Bayfield River Road and back again.  She loves her morning car rides.  Upon return, I left the Subaru in the driveway for a rain wash but after checking the live weather radar I quickly hustled it into the protection of the carport just in case.   With sleet and freezing rain coming down, I heard thunder in the sky about 10:45 a.m. and the day's weather just got nastier from there.  More rain, more thunder.  Tree branches coated with ice and hanging down caused our power to finally wink off and on at about 3:45 this afternoon.  Taking advantage of the rotten outside weather I didn't waste any time getting to work on some inside stuff and it was the spare room I again tackled first rearranging some stuff and vacuuming.  The washroom's utility closet where the water heater sits was next and by the time I was finished, it looked a whole lot better.  With temps in the upper 40s tomorrow and some possible sunshine, I will likely be back outside continuing with the Spring clean-up.  So much to do and so happy I am to do it:))

 EARLIER TODAY THIS FARM WAS LOOKING A LOT LIKE SPRING

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A cat dies and goes to Heaven.  God meets him at the gate and says, "You have been a good cat all of these years. Anything you desire is yours, all you have to do is ask."  The cats says, "Well, I lived all my life with a poor family on a farm and had to sleep on hardwood floors."  God says, "Say no more." And instantly, a fluffy pillow appears.  A few days later, 6 mice are killed in a tragic accident and they go to Heaven. God meets them at the gate with the same offer that He made the cat.  The mice said, "All our lives we've had to run. Cats, dogs and even women with brooms have chased us. If we could only have a pair of roller skates, we wouldn't have to run anymore."  God says, "Say no more." And instantly, each mouse is fitted with a beautiful pair of tiny roller skates.  About a week later, God decides to check and see how the cat is doing. The cat is sound asleep on his new pillow. God gently wakes him and asks, "How are you doing? Are you happy here?"  The cat yawns and stretches and says, "Oh, I've never been happier in my life. And those Meals on Wheels you've been sending over are the best!"

- Only in America: We work hard on a farm so we can move into town, where we can make more money… so we can move back to the farm.

- You have to stay in shape. My mother started walking five miles a day when she was 60.  She's 97 now and... we have no idea where she is.
