Predicting snow again this weekend...maybe rain yet but depends on when it comes through I guess.
Been doing some raking, trying to get some of the gravel back in the driveway and out of the alfalfa due to the snowplowing....my back’s really gving me fits the last few weeks and that leads to no more than two hours of sleep at a stretch which has been par for the course for awhile anyway but Ican generally stretch that to three to three and half when it’s not ‘bothering’ me.
How’s things up your way????? Looks like the media is still in ‘attack-mode’ in regards to Gov.Palin....they must be really scared of her!

Oh no!!! FLASH, FLASH, FLASH! Sorry about that. I didn’t get anything spelled right. I think the zzzzzzz monster, who has been in pursuit for hours, seems to be catching up.
Good night and sleep well.

Good morning, philly...don’t think the volcano is making a difference. The winter has been weird...cold, warm, cold, warm. Can’t seem to make up its mind.

Thank you, MA, for preparing the Canteen for todays activities. That photo of the Army and the bonfire was so awesome I had to add it to my collection (see below)...hehe....
DC Metroland weather report
~ Today.... Morning Fog Turning Partly Cloudy & Milder HIGHS: 60 - 65
~ Tonight.... Rain Developing LOWS: mid 40S
We had rain all day yesterday. But it was really needed in many areas. And, chilly.
Temps nice today; bad tonight and tomorrow. But starting Sunday it looks like we may have some temps in the 60s. YIPEEEEE!
Many thanks to all who sent birthday wishes. I had a nice day with a wash and cut and then a really nice massage. I had to fix dinner but Mr. Beachy gave me a really nice card and a box of chocolates (which I don't need but he'll help eat - LOL).
![]( )
Today, I have a morning appointment so I'll be leaving early and won't be back until Monday.
Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are.
And, for the rest of you..... a little something to help start off your weekend.....
