Love isn't love until it's given away.

 Snow, light NE winds, and 20 degrees.  Increasing wind today with periods of heavy snow, perhaps some wintery mix mid morning, snow winding down late this afternoon.  Today's high:28.   A low of 17 tonight with partial clearing and variable breezes.  Mostly cloudy tomorrow with stiff WNW breezes, a high of 31 and a low of 9.  Snow to rain Friday with a strong SE breeze, a high of 41 and a low of 24.  Showers early Friday might with a low of 24 and strong WSW breezes.  Partly cloudy Saturday with a WNW breeze, a high of 35 and a low of 10.  Mostly sunny Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with NW breezes, highs about 25 and lows in the low single numbers.  Partly cloudy next Wednesday with a NW breeze, a high of 28 and a low of 12. morning snow showers next Thursday with a NW breeze, a high of 27 and a low of 8.  Sunny Friday, the 22ed, with a NW breeze, a high of 27 and a low of 9.  Snow showers are forecast the five days with highs in the low thirties and lows in the teens.

     Darel had a good day yesterday.  We went after chicken feed which helped he day go by faster.  Chicken feed and bird feed.  Feeding the birds hasn't been cheap this winter!

     yesterday morning the light bulb and water in the horse barn were fine.  In the afternoon the bulb was out and water froze.  Three teakettles later it was thawed.  That is why I always check it night and morning, so it doesn't freeze solid.  With spiked boots on I had to take them off to get each teakettle of water then put them back on to walk out there.  This storm should improve the walking.  I hope Friday does't ice things back up.  At least if it does next week is supposed to be warm enough so the wind wouldn't polish the driveway.

     I have no idea how much snow we have.  The snowplow has been going by every hour or.  just plowing steady to keep the road open.  Schools have been canceled and businesses are closing today.

    I slipped plants yesterday and will do more today.  I usually put the ivy in the north windows but right now they are too cold. Plants are beginning to take over the house.

     The wind is picking up.  So far the power hasn't flickered.  I do hope we don't lose it.  I'll call it a good day if we just keep our power.  i hope your day goes well, Sally
