Yesterday (Saturday) we finally received some snow, enough to cover the lawns, driveways, and sidewalks. At that, it was only about 2 inches or so but enough for me to get out the John Deere garden tractor and blade and do some plowing.
The snow was light but, due to the past warm weather, there was a layer of slush on top of paved surfaces. The snow, instead of coming off the blade in a steady flow, came of in chunks.
Snow was in the air most of the day but stopped accumulating by mid-morning as the temperatures hovered in the low 30 degree range. Not a bad day, but one where inside activities seemed to be a better choice. Here I am reading a book with a couple cats keeping me company:
That is London by my leg and Cirrus on my lap. My cup of tea is on the side table and Bru is napping on the couch in the background. It was just a good day to relax.
Today will be “chore day” as I will make a small shopping run and get fuel for the cars. So far the day is bright and sunny but more storms are coming later today (Sunday) and lasting through Tuesday.
This past week I had to change a headlight in the Honda; the low beam bulb on the driver’s side had burned out. To make the repair I had to remove part of the inner fender liner. These newer cars don’t make maintenance easy! I am still using the headlights on the commute in and sometimes on the way home, depending on the weather, so I need to have the lights working. This was not a difficult job but still a pain. I broke a couple of the plastic rivets that hold the liner in place; one of my stops today will be at an auto parts store to see if I can find replacements.
You may notice a change in how these posts are made, starting with this one and going forward. Photos will be closer to full-size but you can still click on them to bring up a larger image. This is due to a new editing program I am using. (The new editor is called “Gutenberg”.) It should be easier to insert photos, photo galleries, and videos using Gutenberg but a few changes from past practices will be involved.
That’s it for now. Thanks for looking in!

When one’s big excitement for the week is the half hour to the grocery store and the half hour back, nothing for the blog there.
Happy Trails.
