An Unknown Number of Thoughts

(Better grab a cup of coffee, I got a little long winded here).

My Boots!
hehehe

.
Good Morning Everyone!
I am happy to say that I have NOT worn my Sorels boots for 4 days.
Not that I haven't gone outside... Just that they haven't been necessary for warmth.
The temps have been in the high 20's. Too bad that will end tonight as the mercury dips to about 7 below once more.
(I have worn the other boots with the cleats on though). Still so much ice for me to chip away at.

With the advent of sunshine and warmer temps, things are beginning to show up from under the snow.

And a few pictures too!
I dug out my very 1st digital camera for these! It is an old Sony (DSC-P32) that for some reason drains the batteries even when it is not "on".

.

?

.
.
.
.
And some of my rocks are also reappearing!

.
.

.
.
.
But not to worry overmuch, there is still plenty of snow.

This is a shot at the end of my 2nd driveway...

.
.
.
And getting back behind the barngrade
always makes me hungry for mulberries.
.
.

.
.

.
.
.
The north side of the barngrade
makes me wonder if my hostas will survive the winter.

"The Punk" had fun with her ball....

.
.

.
.
.
.
As did Miss Milly!

.

The Punk can barely go past the snowbanks in the south yard.
Too deep!

.
.

.
.
.
.
And she shouldn't ever look into the sunshine!
.

.
.

hehehe
But note the ice chunks I've been working on since we got back home.
.
.
.
.
So it's better in the shade.
She tells me to put the camera away???
.

.
.

.
.
.
.
But I must post the pic of her and Casey during the Super Bowl!

.

.

Looking good!

Miss Doubtfire is finally back in her own home after the major ice storm that went through her neck of the woods last week. She has pictures and stories to tell.
Click here to visit her blogs. And don't forget to check out her pictures too!

If those links do not work, please TRY THIS ONE.

There are still upwards of half a million people without power from that storm.
For the rest of us, please click this article out from the Old Farmers Almanac-
Entitled simply "What to Do When the Power Goes Out"
Lots of little hints for us all, and we are ALL susceptible to this.
From dealing with the darkness, to heating, water supplies, damage, cooking and eating.

The Peanut Recall has ballooned out of control...
(Told ya so)

.

You need to check your packaging for ANY peanut products.
Click for FDA Link to all products if you are unsure.
From candies to crackers, cereals, frozen dinners to Kashi.

Not too much else going on around here.
But online is a whole 'nother story...
hehehe

Reconstituted Teenager recently posted a blog that asked if you have a gun for personal protection? CLICK HERE to visit her blog.
Her blog took on a life of its own when someone disagreed with me about having the dogs for protection too.
(Sorry RT).
The comment that set me off was this one. "Dogs? Oh, please. If you want a companion-pet, and you like dogs, by all means buy one. Do not delude yourself into believing that a dog is any form of 'protection'."
So if you are bored go ahead and check it out!
.
.
I seem to lock horns with another blog as well. But mostly about politics. And believe I can hold my own too.
CLICK HERE to see his "Prayer Rug" for Obama. That's just wrong.
I believe that this kind of misinformation does all of us Americans a great disservice.
Note: If you are a dyed in the wool republican, you will probably love his site.

In other news...

What's up with that woman that has all those babies?
I like babies too. But 14? Gimme a break.
Who, after 6 kids, NEEDS fertility treatments to begin with? (I would have to shoot my doctor for even suggesting such a thing).
She needs her brain checked, not her reproductive organs.

Please just send ME your money instead.

And then THIS STORY, (CLICK), absolutely sickens me. "Problems in Paris, Texas A brutal death has caused long-simmering racial tensions to flare anew.

Is almost everyone in the South so bigoted, prejudiced?
It honestly seems to be that way from this girls Wisconsin perspective anyway.
I have two grandsons being raised in the South.
I pray they will not ever know such hateful ignorant feelings.
.

One of my daughters once had a keyring that said simply "Mean People Suck"
I think I want one now.

I'd better close. I have been online since I woke this morning- Sadly, there is a dusting of snow to deal with. And my back is not going to like that anymore than chipping away at that ice.

Love to all.

XOXO
Anne
