I put it in the kitchen drawer
Barb is of the put-everything-in-one drawer school of organization. Periodically (once a year?) she reboots. Today was the day.
Snow Joe
Got a chance to try out the Snow Joe Cordless Snow Blower this morning. One of our many “pandemic purchases.” Don’t think it could handle a really heavy snow but we don’t get that many of those. And it was much easier to handle than one of those Wisconsin he-man monsters. I wound up using the shovel but in a couple of years…?
Barb ups her Zoom game
Barb took her weekly Zoom session up a few notches by streaming live from the Miltenberger-Mays Memorial Library. By the way… those little xmas tree cakes? Delicious.
Not much has changed
The first photo was taken in January of 2020. One of the last times I was in the Coffee Zone. The second photo was taken about a week ago. My life hasn’t really changed all that much.

Pals
Hattie (or oldest Golden) had a little surgery on Monday. She’s doing fine but has one of those Frankenstein incisions she really wants to scratch. So the hood and the crate for another week. Riley is missing their play sessions and is staying close.
Sure would hate to do this quarantine thing without a couple of good dogs.
And sunsets. I’m thankful for sunsets.
How to eat a tree in two minutes
I (briefly) considered taking this tree down myself but it would have taken many hours to haul the logs and brush away. View on YouTube.

In praise of attic fans
We’ve been hyper-vigilant since the beginning of the pandemic. No friends or family in our home since late February. But we have had a couple of service people in to repair broken appliances. No way to avoid that. Fortunately, our house has a big-ass attic fan so we opened a couple of windows and turn the fan on high. It sucks a huge volume of air (and virus) out of the house.
