Work
I’m looking forward to the end of my working career. Monday mornings always seem to be the hardest of all. Time changing and waking up in the dark again is also difficult. On Friday evening, I feel relieved and relaxed and looking toward Monday, it always seems to be a long way away. But before…

Sunday
Sunday, it’s sunny, almost 55 degrees. I’m getting ready to go for a bike ride in a bit, just waiting for the chicken to get out of the oven. Then when I come home, supper will be waiting. One thing about living alone is that inspiration for cooking doesn’t happen often. Today will be different.…

more snow
March is almost here, yet we’re still in winter. Robins have appeared. I’ve heard the bluebirds but haven’t seen them yet. Of course, they’re just coming out of the woods. I am REALLY tired of shoveling. I’m waiting for it to stop blowing, then I’ll suit up and go do it. Until you live in…

working
Gosh, its been a bit since I’ve written. I did go cross-country skiing, it was quite a work-out but really fun. If I wasn’t into NOT buying stuff, I’d look into buying a pair of skis for that. Fair Hill was lovely, quite a few other cross-country tracks though. I found out that my car…

the day after
Big snow, blizzard conditions, no power yesterday. Today the power is back on. I stayed the night with my brother because he has a fireplace and I wasn’t sure how long the power was going to be off. Went off at 10 am. I walked up the road to his house around 5. My nose…

egghill
The area around my house was mostly Finnish farmers and they all had chicken houses; hence the name egghill. My uncle (dead for a few years now) used to lease several of the old farms and used the chicken houses. I worked for him for a while and visited several of the properties myself. Almost…

Monday
Busy day at work. Snow day for kids (and Tuesday also). Had dinner with good friends. Planned some fun outings. Expecting more snow!

Out!
My good friend made it. All plowed out. He noted that another ‘substantial’ storm is now predicted, and the dilemma is becoming what to do with all the snow? I gave him money for gas but he really would have been ok with not getting it. Such a sweet young man. A friend of my youngest…
