First snow of the season today. Very fine powder has been sifting down all morning, and has finally stopped. My ruler shows 55mm (a little over two inches) has accumulated on my balcony rail. It is still very gray out, not at all picturesque. Not much wind, so going out to the mailbox later will not be unpleasant.
The dark-eyed juncos are living up to their "snowbird" nickname. They, and a few blue jays, are keeping me entertained while I have lunch.
St. Louis got about three times as much snow a few days ago. I'm glad to have been spared that.
Dangit, they had to go back and take more (“a sliver at the top”).
Now I have to wait again for another lab.
Clear margins are important.
Happy belated Thanksgiving all! Nilly, I'm so sorry for your loss.
lisah, that is terrifying for your nephew's friend.
~'noma-ma, Hec!
What Jessica said. I might have said it, but my e has been down all day. Which is distracting, more than anything, but it also shows a real downside to the whole "Can't isn't a word--make a way out of no way" thing I grew up with, right? I could drive myself insane trying to crash through the door that's not open so to speak--it might make me feel young.
I am so sorry Nilly. Thinking of you and your family. May her memory be a blessing.
Lisa that is awful. I hope we as country have the resolve to arrest all involved with the ICE action when this is over.
I really hope so, msbelle
In lighter news - I am at the tail end of my leftovers, just the cranberry sauce (which I snagged the whole remaining tub of, as my mom decided that it being in the freezer since 2023 had sublimated [possibly not the right word but I can make a case for it] enough moisture out of it that another year would be Too Much and she was ready to toss it out). So I said to myself, if refried beans with lime is delicious (as it certainly is) why not refried beans with cranberry sauce? So that's lunch. It's pretty good. Would benefit, if I am honest, from a squeeze of lime. but not bad even without
May her memory be a blessing, Nilly.
This has been a bad year for parents of Buffistas.
