The geese fly over my house in a Skein every night at the same time in summer....and go back at the same time every morning.. wherever they're going..

I was out at the river winter before last and a Skein flew over mine and O/h's head. heading south, as we stood on the bridge,

This photo would make an excellent jigsaw puzzle, your initials included.
 
Smiling at Holly, 🥰 Its sort of a northern joke.

When geese fly North over Northwest PA,, they are heading to Canada or further.
In Pa, Michigan & other northern those are Canada geese, big, noisy & messy

IF we see them heading South in the Fall,,,, they are off to warmer states.
Now down in the eastern/southern end of PA,, they Snow geese landing on lakes.
Guess they are noisy & messy.

It was a lacey night, and I didn't wanna pry myself out of bed. Here I am, half awake even after having coffee.

We're supposed to have another nice day today before a cold and rainy Sunday. Maybe cold and rainy won't happen.

Time to gather my wits and stuff.

BBL

ETA: Aha! I bet my lacey night was because just before bed, I ate a bowl of Cheerios with lots of fresh fruit. Note to self: eating right before bedtime isn't usually too smart.

Okay...was it a lacey night (as with lingerie) or was it a lazy night? I love Cheerios (the original ones) and what you had sounds good. Probably no harm done as long as you don't eat right before bed often. I've recently gotten into Cheerios with strawberries, which I buy frozen.
 
@hollydolly and @OneEyedDiva A lacey night is one with holes in it, sort of like lace. The "holes" were waking up every hour or so.

I've seen geese flying north for at least a couple of weeks. It might be because it's been so warm up there this year.

In my hometown, where the annual sNOwfall is usually around 200+", they've only had 24" this season. It's been so warm that they've stopped even trying to make sNOw for the ski hills. They've all given up and closed after only opening sporadically. There hasn't even been enough sNOw to plow or shovel.

It was a nice morning in the bakery mine this morning, just Sir and me working today. I even had time to clean the oven.

You can tell that the Super Bowl is coming, along with Shrove Tuesday and Valentine's Day, by what the customers are buying. Lots of cakes and cupcakes decorated for Super Bowl and Valentine's Day, and king cakes and paczki before Lent starts. On Shrove Tuesday, people will be ringing the bakery phone nonstop asking if we have king cakes and/or paczki, like they do every year. Um. Nope. They'll be gone that Monday, and we won't get more. The answer that day is always the same; wish they'd put a recording on the phone📞

The dreaded Walmarting is going to be done tomorrow afternoon. DD is gone to help DGD purge her closets and take her grocery shopping or I'd be insisting on doing it today to get it over with. I used to love to go shopping at Walmart or anywhere else. Now? I'd rather eat ground glass.

Sunny and clear, only 29 F though. Still picking up a few branches that came down when we got wet heavy snow and ice a few weeks back. Getting laundry done at the same time so it isn't too cold going outside, back inside, and back.

Ham and egg and baby spinach sandwich and an apple for lunch.

Nothing like the excitement I have around here, hmm?
 
Is America preparing for a war? NO, SEE TEXT BELOW THE PICTURES. The last few days, I have seen time after time about half a dozen jet fighters in a row in the sky. Judging by the noise, they must be F-16s. I just can't remember that happening previously. Too much to be just a routine training exercise.

March Air Reserve Base hosting training visible in Inland Empire skies

Combat jets have been streaking overhead near March Air Reserve Base this week.

“March Air Reserve Base is hosting a readiness exercise,” March ARB officials posted on Facebook Jan. 26, and the public should expect “an increase in aircraft … noise within the area during the exercise.”

“There are American, British and Canadian forces working alongside each other for this,” Riverside City Councilman Chuck Conder, a retired officer with the US Air Force, told City News Service. “A lot of units are involved, including those based at Nellis Air Force Base, which is home to Red Flag.” Red Flag entails intense air combat training.

The public affairs unit at the base near Riverside said Friday afternoon, Feb. 2, “the exercise happening on the base … is not permanent and will be concluding soon.” Conder said he’d been told it would end Feb. 5.

Combat jet traffic volume increased beginning Jan. 27, with formations of two, four and six planes departing March multiple times daily and sometimes at night. There was a pause Thursday because of weather.

“They chose March as a forward operating base,” Conder said. “It’s just an exercise, a way of getting to know each other, how they work, because they may have to join up some place in the world.”

Conder said he has seen F-16s, F-15s and British Typhoon fighters. “They’re learning how to work together,” he said.
