I’m feeling really stupid because, in order to start my blog posts in the morning, I really have to check and make sure I have the date correct. One would THINK that I could switch my brain to register January 5, 2025 easily, just moving on without even having to think about it. Not so much. Sigh.

It’s warm here for January this morning (50 degrees F. right now) and a light rain is falling from very cloudy skies. The bad part is that a cold front is forecast to come through during the day, taking the temps down from here, and possibly bringing snow and ice. NOOOOO! We’re good to stay in today, but early tomorrow morning we need to go get blood work done for a routine doctor appointment Wednesday, and have a couple of other errands to do after. I hope we can get down our steep driveway, get our stuff done, and get back UP again. I really don’t enjoy having to worry about getting snowed or iced in and not being able to keep appointments.

A happy thing happened yesterday! My husband drove down to get the mail and came up exclaiming, “The road department cleaned out the ditches on both sides of the driveway!” HOOORAAAAAY! I saw equipment in the area last month, and I called to see if they still cleaned out ditches. The nice lady said she would put in a work order, but nothing happened, and each time it rained, our ditches overflowed onto the road. To have it cleaned out and draining again is such a wonderful gift! While we’re out tomorrow, we’ll get a gift card from one of the pizza places and mail it to the road department as a small thank you.

I’m having fun trying to etch the glass vase in my art room. I finished the basic free form floral design yesterday and will fix up edges and see if I can add more definition to the etching today. :0)
