Howdy, Kathy.

Did today go as well as you hoped it would? Get a lot more of the piled up stuff dealt with and out of the way?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...hope your day as gone well and you’ve warmed up. Maybe some good rain?

No more snow today, but at least yesterday’s little bit got the trees flocked again.

[lightman]

I’m “New Calendar”....celebrated Christmas on December 24.

Up your way there are mostly Russian (or Russian derivative) Orthodox who will celebrate on January 7 (Julian Calendar December 25)

The day’s gone fairly well, I suppose. Had things to do regarding my sister that knocked me out of getting the computer to the “doctor” today but I can take it tomorrow. At least I have Hubby’s computer and it’s better than nothing .... barely. Not as bad as dial-up but it isn’t much better.

I can’t do much with YT but I’ve briefly checked in on LH a few times. Saw that you had some snow yesterday. It looked like it might be clearing off a little just before sunset this evening.

It was about 10 degrees cooler here today because it rained all afternoon. We needed it so I ain’t complainin’! LOL
Might complain tomorrow since we’re in store for some nasty weather. I don’t mind a good light show but I don’t want wind, hail, or tornados, and all are possibilities in the afternoon til after midnight.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Singing how to make a fruitcake..and reading the comments is funny as well. Thanks!.

Yikes...that kind of ugly weather is unwelcome. Rain...you are welcome.

Hope the computer doc can fix you up right away so you can get back to your norm.

Lots of sun mid-day while I was out. NO ducks yesterday, but finally about a dozen this evening. I looked, but no sign of a hawk or an owl.
