Kindness is like snow.  it beautifies everything it touches.

 Cloudy, light NW breeze and 24 degrees.There is about 5 inches of new snow that has become so water soaked it is  3-4 inches of ice.  Strong NW breezes today with a high of 31 about noon, dropping to 9 tonight.  Sunny the next three days with stiff NW breezes tomorrow and Saturday, a light breeze Sunday.  Highs will be about 13,  Tomorrow night's low,-1, Saturday and Sunday's low, about -5.  Sunny Monday with a light NNW breeze, a high of 20 and a low of 3.  Partly cloudy Tuesday with a light NW breeze, a high of 25 and a low of 6.  Partly cloudy Wednesday with a WNW breeze, a high of 25 and a low of 10.  Snow showers next Thursday with a NW breeze, a high of 25 and a low of 10.  Mostly cloudy next Friday with a light NW breeze, a high of 21 and a low of 8.  Show showers are forecast daily for next weekend and week of the 23rd.  Highs will be in the low twenties and lows mostly in the low teens, a few single numbers.

    Darel had a good day yesterday.  We registered the truck at the town hall and decided the roads weren't good enough to go to the lunch at church.

The therapist had tired Darel out enough in the morning so he didn't mind too much.  A long nap was good.

     I paid bills yesterday.  Registering the truck set us back $500.  I didn't do much shoveling.  Gilbert shoved some and last night Lil Andrew shoveled out the garage door.  I saw our resident skunk one of the times I went out to the hen house.  I see it quit often.  It doesn't bother me and I ignore it.  It is keeping the rats down, we haven't seen any all winter.  No torn bags of feed or messed up hay.

      We've gained about 19 minutes of daylight, enough so we notice it on a sunny afternoon.  I'm not complaining about the coming cold spell.  It seems that when we have January temperatures in January we don't have them in March.  I do expect lots of snow this March.

       Have a good day, Sally
