 Cold, blowing snow.

Low was 11.1, high 24.7 on my thermometer. Weather sites said low of 5.  We got more snow, about 4 to 6 inches. 

I started my car. It started right up.  Those tracks are the tractor

 Greg took it up to see about the house. 

Fed the birds.  We had a flock of black birds this afternoon. They are gone now, but will likely be back tomorrow. I am not feeding tomorrow if they come back. Take too much seed. 

Supposed to get down to nothing (0) tonight.

Snow day, January 24 2026

 Start of the deep freeze.

At 7 am it was 10.9. Has now climbed to 11.8, got down to 10.8 before starting back up. I haven't looked at the detailed outlook, too depressing.

This is a energy supply for my phone, a present many years ago from Sister Helen.  I charged it up last night in case we loose electricity I can still have a phone.  I've  never actually had to use it, but JIC.

I fed the birds. I put put feed in the feeders, but they prefer seeds scattered on the railing, the deck and the table. I give them their favorite, black oil sunflower seeds.

Stay safe, which means stay inside.

Getting ready

 For snow and cold, by feeding the birds.

This was my cold weather for work this morning. All from Sister Betty. I had arranged to just work 4 hours so I left at 10 or so. Now just waiting for spring.

Greg has the welder by the back door, and the tractor under the carport just in case.  T do not intend to go out until at least Wednesday if not later. The plant is not working Monday, and I will not go out until it is safe. Maybe April.

Sign of the times

 For the birds.

I could not get the date set on this. Greg set the date and time, but the year will not change. It works better now with the correct time. It got down to 13 last night and hit freezing just before noon today. 

This is the little feeder Hannah and Eliseo gave me. I moved it here do I could take pictures through the door glass.

Lots of these little golden finches in their winter clothes.

I moved this one also.9

It's cold

 I fed the birds.

Supposed to get down to 10 tonight.

A good week

 Except for a few cold nights.  Things are going good at work.  And, my hair is looking so much better since I got it fixed.  I washed it tonight. I may post a Pic tomorrow, but right now it is still wet.

Not summer

 It was really cold yesterday, high was mid 40s i think.  Today it says 39,  but the sun is shinning bright and it feels pretty good. I am bundled up sitting outside watch the trash burn. I have a screen on top of the barrels, but I have to watch until it burns down.

I walked to Dan's and back at 1pm. The sun felt really good.

I have lots of birds since I started feeding them again.  I moved Helen's feeders down here. I have to fill the big one every 3 or 4 days. The little one lasted almost 2 it is fun to watch them.weeks. 

Summer days

 Yesterday and today were shirt sleeve weather at 4 pm. High was 70 both days.  I love sunny days.  Today was 15 minutes longer than December 21 and  camel day at work.

New Hair

 

 
Got a perm. Hope it looks better.

Ready for one more

George and Michelle are treating me to birthday lunch at a Mexican restaurant at Blue Eye. I am sure it will be good.

Hannah left me a birthday gift 🎁 after I went to sleep last night. It is a Singing card. The duster is for ceiling fans. I tried it. It works.

 

Birthday cake

 Went to visit Sister Betty yesterday. She made me a wonderful cheesecake for my birthday. I brought it home. It is delicious. I will eat more of it tomorrow.

Cold comfort
