Tina, I didn't know that the hay was being shipped out of the U.S....unbelievable.

I hope it warms up for you Bestofour...is January or February your coldest month?

What book are you reading Junie? I have been reading a book on the 'underground railroad' (I bought it for GG for Christmas).

I fixed the old snowshoes I found and went for a walk yesterday, I went back in the woods until I came across large coyote tracks and decided to turn around. I took a shower and went to my bedroom to get dressed and noticed a momma deer and her little buck had followed me out on my snowshoe tracks...they were in my yard looking where to go next. lol

Over a foot of snow has fallen and they are calling for another 6 inches....what a mess out there. It is the heavy, wet snow....great for making snowmen, not so great for trees and power lines. zoink

What I am reading. Nothing that will inhance my education, Sunny. I like Mysteries...not bloody and violent, but ones that let me puzzle out the ending and the " who done it".
I am currently reading a series called The Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries. And yes, it has people in it who think ghosts are a normal occurrence, but hey, I still like figuring out who the culprit is. Often I reread a Nero Wolf mystery.. Rex Stout is the author of them. A guy named Robert Goldsboro is currently writing Nero Wolf Stories. But they are not high on his priority list,
And fially, my Complete Agatha Christy collection did not make the cut when we moved. I am sad about that now, but we were moving so much so far, and I had not reread any of them in so long, so I donated them to the local library. They probably put them on their summer yard sale but oh well, somebody new got to enjoy them that way.

My grands would love to have a foot of snow, Sunny. I hope your roads are ok.

The roads are a mess and the power keeps going out. DH called and said trees are on the lines and the lines are on fire, we got our power back but it will be hit or miss for many along our area. This is the heaviest snow I have seen in awhile....the trees are breaking under the weight.

It is a good day to hide under the covers...sadly I have to go start the tractor and clean the gate.

that is sad news, Sunny. as I have said many times, I would not mind snow, but only if it would stay off of the roads and the sidewalks...and of course your gate area.
Sorry about the trees.

sorry also about the power..that is a scary situation.

I hope none of those dangerous trees are near your gates, Sunny. And I hope this is the last heavy snow of winter.
We have red flag warnings for fires here. We are hot, dry and windy here.

It didn't warm up but the wind died down a little. It doesn't seem so cold when the wind isn't blowing.

Junie, I think you like cozy mysteries. I do too. Not too much blood and gore, and certainly no Pulitzer Prize winners, but a good plot and fun to read. I also love Agatha Christie. See if your library has Christmas at The Mysterious Bookshop. It's a real bookshop in New York and the owner is a publisher, in real life, and every year he commissions an author to write a short story involving the bookshop. The book is 17 of those short stories and they're soooo good.

Sunny, every time we have any amount of snow our power lines and trees go down. You wouldn't even consider the amount we get a snow fall smile but for some reason our power lines can't take it.

Yes, Sheri. They are cozy mysteries.
Besides the Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries by Angie Fox,
I like the Firefly Junction Mysteries by London Lovett. She is getting ready to release Book #10 on February 1.
I have a signed copy of Book # 9, and I was so very tickled/surprised by it's arrival. It was the best surprise I have had in awhile. I usually read books on my kindle but lately I seem to like hard copy books a bit more.

Thanks for the tip on the bookshop stories. I will read them soon.

I watched a show on the PBS station here tonight. It happened to be, "Inside The Mind Of Agatha Christy. I enjoyed it very much.

It wasn't on our Canadian calendar but it should be, sorry I missed that fact.

The only thing on the news today of the day is what they call 'Blue Monday'....apparently it is supposed to be the most depressing day of the year. why

I've got an apple pie in the oven, it smells wonderful but I just can't get myself to eat it because of the texture.

Bring your apple pies and pears ( in any form) on over to my house. I love them both.

The smell of an apple pie should take care of the Monday blues or any day blues. I'm not a big fan of pear or apple pie but they do smell delicious cooking.

One thing that's happened during covid is that I've gotten over my phobia about eating meat that's been frozen. I even buy an extra loaf of bread and freeze it.

I buy huge amounts of meat and other foods.....I fill my chest freezer. Right now I have 3 loaves of sliced bread and 4 loaves of bread dough in the freezer as I type. In defense of the bread dough, you buy it frozen, thaw it out, let it rise and bake it...so I did not chose to put it in the freezer, I had to.

I am glad that you got over your freezer meat and bread phobia though, Sheri. Thus virus has to be good for sonething....

Sheri, I am glad you conquered that phobia....too many new ones have been made during Covid.
