It is 46 here, but at least the wind is not blowing and the sun is shining for a change.

I got home later from work yesterday than I expected, had to rush to get dinner ready and was not able to get to class.

Hubby went to his office to finish some paperwork this morning, and has been working on making a new top for a neighbor's little occassional table-the original top got something spilled on it that made it de-laminate and get ruined, so this new top is being made with three solid oak planks.

I'm reading Bernard Cornwell's new book "Lords of the North", the third book in a series about Alfred of Wessex-aka Alfred the Great. The fictional Saxon nobleman who narrates the story is a really sour individual, even in his teen years, but he has a dry and incisive sense of humor and has me LMAO at some of his observations of the personalities and deeds of some the more famous historical characters of the time.

The next door neighbor and blondie the dyke are setting up a new gazing ball and pedestal that is even gaudier than the one destroyed by falling tree limbs was, and several atrocious whirligigs even as we speak-one is a 2 ft. tall woodpecker with wings that twirl around when the wind blows, and another one looks like some kind of little ferris wheel...

We have bright sunshine, but the windchill drops the temperature a lot. Bitter freezing cold with lots of wind - not so nice. Miss Ava comes for a visit tonight while mom and dad go out - that should warm up the day a little.

I just bought Lisa Gardner's new book, an easy reading thriller, I might get to read it after I finished studying. I finished my take home test, now I can study for the one Wed night. Monday the contractor starts my floors so I have to clear the rooms.......rme. That will be fun with a 17 month old.
