What a difference a day makes! Woke up to a few inches of fresh snow and it was blowing and cold. What a blustery day! That wind gusted up to 50 miles an hour at times. It started out at 25 degrees and slowly went down all day. The wind didn't die down till after dark tonight. But now and then I still can hear it. During the night last night it was wicked. I'm surprised the trees are still up out there.
I was watching this squirrel frantically trying to repair it's nest. The wind had damaged it. That poor thing worked for hours tearing off twigs and carrying them back to the nest. I'm not sure how well they weave them. I've seen quite a few break apart in the wind. And this one is right in the open, way up high in a tree. At least the ones who have their nests in the tall pines seem to have more cover. Hope there isn't any babies in it yet. They do have their babies in February sometimes.
I didn't do much today. I felt okay though. My flange is still holding up, thank heavens. I'm going to let it go as long as I can. Tomorrow morning will be the third day for this one too.
My left knee is killing me though. Can't walk too well when I first get up. Maybe I walk too much on it. I never sit very long during the day.
Jordan answered me on Facebook. I had asked him if he got my card. He said they want to come over on Monday. I told him it's about time they got their butts here. Of course it's not the kid's fault. It's their mom's. Nina's birthday is tomorrow. She will be 42 years old. Can't believe she is that old. Seems like I was just that age. Ha! Anyway. It will be good to see the kids finally if they do make it here on Monday. They all have that day off from school, being President's Day. It's supposed to snow again that day. Hope it doesn't keep them from coming. Or they'll never come for another month or two. But they do have winter break soon also.
So now it's after 10:00 PM and I'm going to bed. Take care everyone.
