Far too early for spring.  I am glad.  And a little hopeful.

Today's Name Day:  Disa, Hjördis

A friend in Australia has a daughter named Disa.  Never met her.  Only person I know of with that name.

    Not a bad day.  Cold night but a warmish day.;  I saw 46F.  Stayed cloudy all day.  I like that.  Makes driving easier for me.

    Saw my eye dr for a simple test only.  No big deal.  Not my favorite test but it went well.

    I am able to get my mail out of my mailbox..  And no chance of getting stuck.  Snow melted away.

    Weather man just announced there is rain/snow in our forecast.  I was anxious to hear when but what a disappointment.  Small area of snow or rain.  And maybe fog later.  Big deal.  Sure it will miss my farm.  Appears to stay west of me.

    After watching the national news I am going to have to write privately so I do not whine in my blog.  When oh when are the adults going to take control??

    My cousin in Kentucky is improving.  Good news.  Off the ventilator & can talk & move.  Nice to have good news in my life.

    Had a nice email from JL.  Photos from MM.  Another person who usually ends a photo sent one that was disgusting.  I have chosen to ignore.  What was he thinking.  Like an insult.

    Finally get a haircut tomorrow.  Has been at least 2 months since my last one.  Have to share a real photo of me tomorrow!!!  Will be a lot shorter!!

    Photos are like usual.  Started this blog with two drawings about whether we would get more winter.  We will.  I am glad.  Far too early for spring.  Although dozens of people are counting the days until spring.  I am not one of them.  Dread the hot, humid, buggy summer weather.

Today's Name Day:  Max,  Maximilian

Had an Uncle Max in Denver.  He was the best!  He always made sure he took me up in the mountains.  And I went bowling with him & my aunts there.  The last time I saw him was in his nursing home.  I was not sure it was him until he asked me if I wanted to go bowling one more time.  I cry every time I remember that.

    Had an ok day.  Slept good & managed a very short nap.  Was cold overnight but warm today.  My water has not dripped today.  Cool.  I am sure I owe them a boatload of money so far.

    Had an email from JL.  Love hearing from her.  Everyone else was quiet.  

    Tonight had a long text with a classmate.  Rarely hear from him.  We have lost a classmate so I hear from people from my past.  Classmate was a special guy from our class.  Wish he & I had been closer friends.

    JR & I ate at Pizza Hut.  I actually had a pasta dish & ate most of it.  No dessert.  Ate too much.  I have desserts here at home.

    Got home in time to see the Grammys.  Bad Bunny is there but cannot perform at all because he doing the Super Bowl.  But he just won & gave an awesome speech.  Agreed with all he said.  Award was given to him by my fave SNL member, Marcello Hernandez.  Bad Bunny was interviewed before his award.  He has arranged for people in his country to get  places to stay, to eat, etc. that all can afford.  And he is donating lots of money to Puerto Rico.  Good guy.

    Photos are a mix.

Today's Name Day:  Ivar, Joar

    Another quiet day.  One email.  One text from a friend that always sends a "good morning"  text & a "good night"  text.  Everyone else quiet & ignoring me.  So I took a nap.  Cold outside in the teens so my bed was cozy.

    Got up from my nap & found Cinder sleeping near where they are fed.  I gave her more food.  Think she did eat a little bit.  Now sleeping by the TV.  Kisse is somewhere in the bedroom I assume.

    Last day of January.  Seems like the month went fast.  But the first week of February is going to be far too warm.  In the 40s & 50s.  A little warmer would be fine but no too much.  One weather says our snow may still not all be melted.

    Got word yesterday that a cousin in KC passed away.  I always liked him.  Great sense of humor.  I remember him from high school although he was older than me.  And another cousin seriously ill in Kentucky.  Doubt she will survive.  In ICU on a ventilator.   Sad times.

    Photos are a mix.  Fewer than usual.  Trying to cut down.
