Of Note: Tomorrow is Martin Luther King Day and the newly minted National Day of Service. Our new President has asked all people to consider giving of themselves on Monday as a prelude of better times to come. It might work. As Divine creators, we might find that a collective day of giving might just turn the tide through the sacrifice of selfishness, at least for a day. Who knows, for some it might even turn into a habit of serving the common good on a daily basis.
Today's Weather Report: Finally the bitter cold has passed and the usual winter temps in the teens has settled in once more. Frozen pipes and a furnace out on the night it was -32 degrees kept us busy for a couple of days. It was fortuitous that we have a large fireplace to keep the house warm as all this was getting sorted out. Well, I should say fairly warm. Only one more layer of clothes was required. Soon, though, very soon it will be time to consider seeds. Marie has promised a truck load from her garden last year, which is pictured above.
News You Can Use Snippet: Life is great when we can even LISTEN to a blog, isn't it? This is possible on a Website called BlogTalkRadio.
