BILLY COMES FOR LUNCH

Billy, the neighborhood egret, came to visit for lunch

. 

He did not like our offering of stale shelled peanut crumbs.

So he left for greener pastures!

Temporarily Residing in Florida

I am temporarily residing in Dunedin, Florida helping out my mom & dad.  Mom was recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer.  It has been quite a shock for everyone!  We are keeping busy with doctor appointments, chemo treatments & a side stay in the hospital.  Here is one of the bouquets mom received during her short stay in the hospital.

Please pray for mom & all the family.

My dad is the neighborhood squirrel feeder.  I am also keeping busy baking peanuts for the squirrels & making peanut pyramids.

Jim took the following two pictures so that I could see the daffodils in full bloom. 

Mojo is standing at the front door.  Doesn't he look lonely?

THREE POUNDS OF CAULIFLOWER!!

Jim got a really good deal on cauliflower at the grocery this week. 

The cauliflower is setting on a dinner plate!

TOURNEY TIME IN INDIANA!!

I am dreaming of palm trees! 

 I was all ready for Spring & even got to walk outside yesterday.  When I got up this morning it looked like this.

Then I remembered it is basketball tournament time in Indiana. 

We always get a snow storm at tourney time!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Thank you to my wonderful husband for the beautiful red roses!

THE SNOW CONTINUES!

We are ready for Spring!  The snow just keeps coming.  The weatherman missed the snow forecast slightly on Saturday.  We were only supposed to get 1 to 1 1/2 inches of new snow.  Well, we got approximately FIVE inches!  I did not take any new pictures to post because it is too depressing.  We shoveled the driveway & sidewalk once again.  At least it was light fluffy stuff & not the heavy icy snow we shoveled earlier in the week.

Happy Spring, everyone!!

FEBRUARY in INDIANA

This is February in Kokomo, IN. 

Gregg & I shoveld about six inches of snow & ice off the driveway.

Jim is working on repairing the garage door opener.  Apparently the belt broke.  I had been hearing a strange noise all morning, but thought it was the sump pump cycling.  It turned out it was the garage door opener!

SOUP IS ON! 

Gregg talked me into fixing a big pot of chili for dinner instead of turkey meatloaf. 

Yum!!  Sure does warm you up on a cold day.

We are doing well after the storm blew through town.  We had snow, freezing rain, and wind.  The power went out this morning, but only for 1 1/2 hours.  We have been fortunate!
