Snow is on the ground here this morning. My plan is to baby myself as much as possible. One of my knees is killing me and I need to give it a chance to recover.

We have no snow on the ground and are in a severe drought. It is supposed to snow in February and as much as I hate snow I hope it does. We can get snow through June. Otherwise we will have water restrictions in summer. Plus a variety of states get water from us, Nevada, Arizona, and California and others I think, so we really need snow.

Its amazing how many people think water comes from a facet and don’t realize that it comes from the snow and rain that falls into the lakes of various states.

snow here today as well Kat... sorry you've got a horribly painful knee, I can empathise... it wears you down when it's continually painful, and makes you grumpy..well it does me anyway... . I hope it starts to ease soon.. 🤗
 

Not much!

Snowing with an inch on the ground and more to come tonight into tomorrow.

Last night I put a pound of navy beans out to soak overnight and cooked them this morning. The beans were from Aldi and they must have been fresh this year because they cooked up nice firm but tender in a little over 30 minutes. The pound yielded two pints for the freezer with enough broth and beans leftover to make a small pot of soup for today and tomorrow.

I always wonder if it makes more sense to cook beans from scratch or buy them pre-cooked in cans.:unsure:

ROFLMAO!

Neither, Aunt Bea, I'd grow the ones that are already cooked! :giggle:
 
We had a couple of inches of snow, then ice/sleet on top of that yesterday and last night. I spent about an hour cleaning the decks this morning, and while I was outdoors, one of the neighbors with a rear wheel drive van got stuck on the icy roads, and almost tipped into the ditch. I got my tractor and tow rope out, and was able to "ease" him back onto the road, and he was able to continue on. His tires are fairly worn, so hopefully he will get some with better tread soon.

Just ordered flowers to send .. my son-in-law's grandmother passed away (age 94) at the Polish senior's residence. He used to take my grandpup, Abbi to visit.

I'm so sorry for your loss, @Pinky.

Bless your son-in-law for his kindness toward his grandmother.

I nearly always brought my dog along to visit my mom and then my FIL when they were in assisted living. Everyone - staff, residents, and the person I was visiting - responded when we come in. They smiled at me but were overjoyed to see him.

Thank you @StarSong

The residents always were so happy to see Abbi. I'm sure many of them missed being able to have a pet. Abbi automatically knew the way to get to Babcia's room.

I'll bet your mom and FIL were thrilled to see your dog. I hope my daughter will do that for me one day.

I’m so sorry for your loss Pinky. What a sweet son in law to take Abbi . Having pets visiting elders really brightens their day. We used to take our dogs in to see my husbands grandmother when she was in a home out east and we also took our dogs into some of the hospitals my mom was at. The nurses were so very nice to us and made special amendments which we were most grateful for. Sorry for rambling on.
What a cute picture of Abbi. All those other residents are going to miss Abbi too.
94 is a pretty good age to live to.
 
I took my early walk around 6:45,a tad nippy outside,temp was 26,wearing long underwear,a slight breeze which made it feel even colder
This morning,friend Mary&I are going on our weekly 'road trip' to a favorite $ Tree Store.We like this one because its clean,well stocked,employees are friendly.I can't say that for other $ stores.I just need a couple of items
The rest of my day take another walk,read NYT, my book
 
Today' To Do list;
Check out various forums (currently in process)
Make a run to the grocery store.
Get a couple of propane tanks (20 lb. barbecue pigs) refilled.
Vacuum the living room (friends occasionally stop by on Wednesdays or Thursdays...).
Look on line for some recreational reading (e-books).
Check the free, legal, movie streaming sites (typically Vudu and Tubi, also others; some available internationally) to see if there are any interesting movies (that I haven't seen).
If/when I run out of other things play a computer game for a while (currently replaying Diablo 2, nightmare level).

Enjoy!
