HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY FULL MOON!
The Full Moon is Wednesday, 16 February.
Here's what happened to me on Thursday evening. I thought you all might enjoy the story.
My toaster oven is on my enclosed porch (the electricity is newer and stronger there). After dark in the evening, I walked out on the porch to make a grilled cheese sandwich ("cheese toastie") for my supper. Right after I turned on the light, I heard a long, slow howl outside the front door. It was a coyote! It only howled once, and then I heard it move through the snow. It must have been warning its mate and any young that are still with them. Coyotes mate in February here, so they're active right now. They pair for life. The howl was powerful!
Everyone have a safe and serene week!
Best wishes to my U.K. friends. I hope you all stay safe, warm, and secure during Storm Eunice. I'm thinking of you all.
Annette: I'm so very happy that your daughter is home and improving! I know it's been a rough journey.
All: I'll be back tomorrow or the weekend with more replies. I submitted my completed freelance project on the 7th and invoiced it. I've wanted to sleep ever since. I guess I was exhausted.
Take care, everyone.
YEAY, DIANE!!!
A morning outing to library to collect 2 books waiting for me on the “Hold” shelf, followed by a brief photo excursion. One building will need another visit in April or May when the leafy greens have fallen from surrounding plane trees. I suspect 2 large old homes have been demolished or swallowed by aged care units; more research needed. Weeding – again – and when I look out kitchen window I can hardly see any difference <sigh>.

Our camellia has been holding back in the colder nights, but is now trying to come out.
Not as glamorous as a rose, perhaps, but beautiful nonetheless.
Heather, you gave no indication of the timing of their visit, but I gathered that the Danes were coming in the next few weeks and you were already planning for their arrival. Regarding your male guest - Everyone is different in their perceptions of things - I've been reading lots of reviews of holidays and cruise ships lately and what for one is sometimes a major issue, is for another person just a minor blip. Its raining hard here now after quite a bright couple of hours first thing, and then some sudden showers. We are expecting to have to hunker down and not go out, even to take the dog out, until tomorrow. However, my OH does have an appointment at the dentist for lunchtime, to have a tooth out, but its only across the town to there so not far.
