Well…damn, it snowed out here last night and all of my leaves are covered in snow…but, it’s raining out here right now so that should all melt by the end of the day and I hope the lawn dries up enough to pick them up Monday…this rainy/cold snap had made a bunch of them fall so it appears I’ll get most of them off the lawn this week…got a neat little gift from my daughter yesterday when she sent me the couch blanket she had been knitting for me…it is dark red made out of the softest Peruvian wool I have ever felt…feels more like silk than wool and she has has tags made she sewed on that say “handmade by J”…it is so well done I would guess it would go for a hundred bucks in a store…and it is going to be well used when it gets cold out here…or stays cold I should say….I really like having a clean fridge and the hour and a half I invested in cleaning was well worth it…not sure what took me so long to do it but it won’t be that long again….looks like another day on the inside bike with the rain going on out there and that isn’t bad…much more work to ride that one so 8 miles is more than enough to do….especially since it is one long ride with no rests and I come away soaked every time I use it….not much to do today…need to do some cleaning but I still have leftovers so no cooking…I did make chili the other day and had to remember the recipe since I can’t find any of the ones that were hanging on the fridge…it came out just like it should so I must have gotten it right….more later…
