Good morning everyone- 34 here this morn with just Spitty waiting for breakfast outside.  Izzy and i already had her lap time.

rues- Happy, happy birthday!!! Have a super day doing what brings you joy!!

ra- so very funny that you mentioned snow. I just listened to the weather it's been so windy here. I haven't gone outside either because of the wind or the smell. So i checked the weather  and saw  Flurries!!! in the forecast for saturday through sunday mornning. Yay!  That means that i'd better get my stuff done today.  Won't take too long.

Yesterday after lunch i noticed a pickup truck parked down the road from our house and a guy was out walking in  our field. So i went down to talk to him. Soon as i saw government plates i knew it was the inspector from usda to soo our crp plants. I invited him up to the house so hubby could hear what he had to say.  He was very nice- found some brome grass in a few places.  This is not good stuff. Anyhow- our current contract is up next year so we need to make a new plan. 
cal- we've been finding lots of spiders in the house too. I try to relocate but Izzy doesn't get that concept at all. Also we had crickets. But i'll take those instead of the infestations of lady bugs and millipedes we've had in past year.  I decided that the moles we had zooming in circles under the mulch around the house ate all the millipedes this year. I haven't seen any at all and the moles eventually moved to a better hunting ground away from the house. A benefit of moles- who knew?

Spin this morning then  i absolutely must get outside!

Have a great day jewelies!

Hi Jewelies! Thank you all for my birthday greetings! It means so much to me! I always thought that becoming 70 was years and years down the road but now it's here! I also never thought that we would be in the midst of a deadly virus. Because of ykw my birthday celebration is on hold. Three people in Robin's office tested positive on Sunday for ykw. So everyone else in the office had a rapid test on Monday. Everyone tested negative. But they say the rapid test is not always reliable so everyone had a different test on Wednesday. That test can take 3 to 5 days for results. Of course, the office is closed and everyone is quarantined at home until they get their results. So far, Robin says everyone says they have no symptoms. I was with Robin on Saturday so Crow and I are also isolating ourselves until Robin gets her results. If she is postive then we will go for testing.  Bummer.

Cal, when I get on my laptop later, I'll post a pic that Robin took of Winnie and Bette Midler as Winifred Sanderson in Hocus Pocus. It's a cute pic. Yeah, Hocus Pocus is on a bunch of times this month. I've still never seen it! No, thank goodness, Crow is not baking me a cake! Lol! I'll wait for the all's clear and then he can get one at Walmart for me! There are crickets in the basement. They are so loud that Crow has to turn up the volume on his tv! He says the crickets are driving him crazy. Lol! He tells Wilson to get rid of them but Wilson ignores him.

Lupe, we have freeze warnings out tonight! I hate that because my morning glories are absolutely beautiful! People have actually stopped and taken pics of them! As Cal knows, I have no farm knowledge, so why do you have a contract with the USDA?

Ra, nope, didn't watch either debate last night. We already voted by mail 2 weeks ago! Sick to death of campaign ads! I mute all of them. Your coat sounds so comfy!

Jo, hi to you from the Mountain State! We weren't as cold as you were this morning but I did have
my furnace on!

Neva, how you doing?

I think we will have a frozen pizza for supper! Have a nice evening! Stay safe!

Good morning everyone- slept in today. I think the wind howling woke me up. It stayed a bit warm here over night. Didn't think it was going to be this windy this early.  I did get most of the stuff cleaned off the 2 south beds.  I like to leave some of the flowers that will go to seed for the little birds during the winter. Almost time to get my big metal cans for bird seed out. I put up suet a couple weeks ago and we've seen a couple woodpeckers. My hosta are mostly still green so i'll wait on them.

Izzy was out with me for a bit yesterday- so many leaves to chase- she slept really well last night too. And this morning she is racing about.  I tell her all the time how special  and perfect she is.

rues- you're only 70!! I vaguely recall 70. I hope Robin will be okay and her whole office too.  The not knowing is hard i bet.

cal- i think the 2020 holidays are going to look a lot different. We just got an e-mail in the last couple weeks from our niece in California. They came for Thanksgiving and cooked for us and then we helped her knot comforts. She sent a bunch of photos. Though i get weary of  hubby's family get together i had to admit it was really nice to see the photos.

We've had the furnace on a lot. Hubby hasn't cut any fire wood because he had hernia surgery in August. The heat just isn't the same. Don't know if we'll get the wood stove going this winter. He's working on the Jimmy now and putting in long hours.

Have a great day jewlies!
