Still raining here - so sick of it - the ground is just a soggy mess. had to go out to get the dog her meds and some treats. Also filled up the car with gas. Made chicken stew for dinner - a good dinner for this weather. Have a good new week. Hugs, Wendy
Hi, my friends, thank you, thank you, thank you, for all your wonderful comments. They have lifted my spirits. I do hope you are healthy and happy, and doing fun things.
Oh my gosh, it has been so long since I have been able to spend any time here on The Hill. I'm quarantined/out of work since March and I am busier than I have ever been. I started replacing rotten siding last November and a freak snowstorm dropped almost 2 feet of extremely soaking wet/heavy snow. So, there sits the bottom of my front wall all torn off and waiting until Spring for me to finish, along with my porch, torn off the house listing/sinking backward. There are buckets under it to keep it solid/sturdy.
In September refer died so I had to have a new one installed. It was on it's last leg and not cooling, and at the bottom was freezing veggies. Well, the delivery guys were kids and couldn't grasp the basic fundamentals of the mechanics of the mask, so I ended up catching the common cold (rhinovirus). I wore 2 masks, so that pretty much proves to me what they are saying about: my mask protects others not so much me; but others masks are what protect me more than mine does. I do have N-95 left over from working construction the last 45 years, with a double bandanna on top of that.
All the holidays have been quiet 'cause I can't go anywhere & no one can visit. The virus has been wicked spiking here in NH; and now we have the variants. So I am so careful, washing anything and everything as it is brought into the house, and lots of hand-washing.
Working on taxes now, and getting rid of clutter, and sorting/sprucing-up/repairs/maintenance/deep cleaning. Oiy!!! Then with what's been going on since all of 2020 with that putrid, fly-infested, steaming, orange pile of pig diarrhea, desecrating our Democracy and the Capital. I can't even process any of it any more. I'm in the Twilight Zone!!!!
Well, have a great Valentine's and Winter, I'm still planning on getting here on The Hill a whole lot more often. Stay happy and healthy and have fun.
Thanks for sending such a cute valentine card - I love the old vintage ones - reminds me of when I was a little girl and I couldn't wait to get them from my friends and to give them to all those that were special to me. Hope you had a lovely day. Hugs, Wendy
Hello to you my friend and hope your keeping your feet warm. The freeze has hit our area and very unusual cold for us. All week will have freezing temps getting down to 11 degrees one day. Had freezing rain yesterday causing many accidents and school closures. Still a lot of ice on trees but many of you are used to this. Just staying in and keeping warm, Have a great weekend...George
