    Jerry, that reminds me of a funny story a friend told me. She was pregnant, and she had to bring a urine sample in to the doctor for her checkup. She looked around the house for someting to contain the urine sample, and all she could find was an empty whiskey bottle, so she washed it out and...

    Lizzie, getting a urine sample from Rusty sounds exciting. Is it easy? Can you train him to pee on command? A friend once told me that they train racehorses to pee on command because they are always collecting urine samples to test for drugs. She told me that they train the horses to pee when...

    Good night, all. I'm getting tired of winter, which is about par for the course this time of year, so here's another flower.

    Good morning. We have another snow day, so I get to stay home and clean the bathroom. I thought things might close today, since there's supposed to be a lot of snow. The Ithaca & T-burg schools are closed, along with lots of other school districts, so I'm not going anywhere. I called the dentist...

    I feel like I'm singing a solo. The good-night picture tonight is something brighter than a snow scene. Yes, we have snow. There's probably about 2 inches out there now.

    It started to snow again. I was lucky that the freezing rain they foretold today never happened. I got to tutoring and back just fine. The roads were even drying out in places. So the precipitation waited till this evening, when it's now cold enough for real snow. Today it warmed up to just...

    Thanks for letting us know you're OK, Trit. I hope you don't really have high BP, that it's only a saying.

    Does anyone know what's going on with Trit? We haven't heard from him in a while. I sure hope he's OK.

    Good night, all. In honor of the snow, which hasn't amounted to much yet, here's a view of my street on another snowy evening.

    You made me laugh, Lizzie! You're right, though.

    Awsum, There's a band that they say will go just north of us with that much snow, but I think we'll get a bit less, though it will be lots of snow. I guess we'll only know for sure when it falls and I go out to sweep off the porch and my car. Right now, the snow is falling so lightly that...

    Lizzie, those dust storms sound horrible! I bet it seeps into the houses, and all the cleaning you did will be covered in dust by the time the people get home. That must be depressing. Here, it's snowing a little. Nothing too exciting, except that it's supposed to last continuously all weekend...

    Any of those could be the vines I photographed. There's no way to tell for sure till the vines get some foliage. I will try to remember to go back and photograph them then.

    Celtic, I looked them up, and Wikipedia says they are in the South. They listed states where they grow, and NY wasn't one of them. But muscadine is a kind of grape, so the vines in my photos might be a different kind of grape. I have seen wild grapes of some sort in this area.

    Good night early. We didn't get that snow that caused the massive pileup north of us, but I hear we're going to get a solid weekend of snow, nonstop.

    Meanwhile, my car troubles weren't nearly as bad as those involved in a huge pileup on Route 81 north of here. I saw news of it on the TV in the car repair waiting room. Massive Pileup Shuts Down Interstate 81 in New York - ABC News

    I had an expensive day! I took my car in to see about a weird sound it's been making. I suspected some sort of exhaust breakdown. Sure enough, that's what it was, and they ordered parts. I go back next Tuesday to have that done. Meanwhile, they decided I needed a new battery and new rear...

    Beautiful! I wish I could make a quilt. The one on our bed is getting sort of ragged, and the Amish ones for sale hereabouts are really expensive. So I just put up with the sort of ragged quilt.

    Whatever kind of vines they are, it was something like them that had Penny tangled a while ago. I'll ask the family that owns the property if they know what kind of vines they are. Also, maybe in spring, when the leaves are out, I'll go back to the spot where I took the vine photos and get...

    I'll say good night with 2 photos. Terry made me think of these trees when she said about cutting those thick grapevines. I don't know what kind of vines these are, but they easily could be grapevines. And this looks like some of the vine was pulled away from the tree or died. It left its...
