Beautiful Day

Hello,

 

The snow makes it so beautiful to look out. I like seeing the fir type trees out front. They are great bird sanctuaries and many birds are just at the window height for us.

 

Leroy and I went out a bit after 6:00 am to start shoveling. It was a wet heavy snow. We never know how much we got, but Leroy thinks it was more than five inches. I would agree that it was at least four. Because of the weight we did not get much more than the front done before we went in to eat and fortify ourselves. We went back out and got the sidewalk in the back done as well as getting some away from the garage. The city plow has gone twice this year on our ally so we did not do at much shoveling as usual, hoping they would come by once more. If it does not happen, tomorrow morning we will go out again so we can get out of the garage without difficulty.

 

Yesterday afternoon we saw birds at the feeder again. “I have never been so close to these types of birds.” Leroy said in wonderment.

 

It is quite nice to see them so clearly. I would like it if they would come more, but I suspect it is a risky place for them.

 

Earlier, Sarah had asked us if we had enough calendars. We, who still like those paper calendars said, “No, but we do not want you to spend postage on sending us one.”

 

Just Thursday Leroy brought home a calendar from work. Often people donate many of them, but this year has been quite slow since so few come to the museum. Saturday we got the calendar from Sarah. It was quite a nice surprise as it has many family pictures in it. Guess we “needed” one more calendar after all.
