I bet that Terry would like to see a pic of me. Here I am, Terry !!!!!
first girl i see not scared of your real face
Terry, you know that thing CatLady showed us and we didn't know what it was? I found out it's an erasing shield, and I read the reviews to find out what it was for. See Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Stainless Steel Erasing Shield
Thanks Sandy. I think I could use something like that. Dang, my drawing stash is starting to look like my mod stash.

I think I may get a couple of eraser pencils. Not the electric kind, just the regular kind. I bet they'll do the job just as well and be cheaper. I don't like the idea of having to replace batteries all the time.
Time to say good night with another snow scene.
Wow! That is one of the prettiest pics you've posted. It would make a nice drawing.
Good Morning Voltville
With the warm-up, roughly 12" of snow has melted away. There is still snow on the ground and driveway, but hopefully not enough to inhibit deliveries anymore. I'm waiting for some tools from Harbor Freight. The woman loves her tools.
My creek has returned (is no longer frozen bank to bank) and there are mini ice floes - some 5' long, floating down it. The creek is on the rise. It will come up a great deal more, I predict. I like it when it does that. Flooding scours the bottom clean so that the shale shines through and the creek glows blue-green.
It felt wonderful to be able to sleep with the door open during the night again. Makes my squirrelly nervous system feel better. While I've had the sensation of a hoard of large, hyperactive angry beetles crawling all over my scalp recently, that seems to have subsided with the cool air treatment. Thank goodness!! Not my idea of a good time. Just sayin'.
I had the poor judgement to run out of bird seed. Looking at the pics I've posted, y'all can probably guess why I ran out. Most of the freeloaders are unhappy about this state of affairs, but have simply flown away to sulk. One particularly miffed blue jay spotted me yesterday at my desk in the kitchen and flew back and forth in front of the window facing my desk - cawing loudly and vehemently. He's probably the same jay that terrorized me yesterday tapping loudly at one of the picture windows expressing his dissatisfaction. I'll go into town today and get bird chow. Nothing worse than angry villagers.
Gorgeous photo, Sandy!!
BTW - I noticed that you were absent CatLady.
But, I'm glad that you're back. And for any of you that are lurking, feel free to ignore Jerry's directive and lurk all you like. I do so myself sometimes - especially during flurries of activity. Personally, I really only like to be here and post when it's peaceful rather than manic.
There's a bluebird perched outside my window. I'll take that as an omen of a good day ahead of me, and hopefully, the rest of you as well.

Hope you have a great day Rave. Seems like the whole country is in a warming trend. I woke up to 70 with a promise of 83 and some rain here. Nice to be able to sit outside, sip coffee and watch the sun come up with the occasional deer scurrying back into hiding for the day. I've been neglecting the wildlife here since my Bride started chemo and radiation treatments so I need to get on the ball as well.
I'm so glad that you're able to steal some peaceful moments, Wuzz. The critters will manage. They just have to work a little harder. Do take care of yourself as well, okay?
I'm trying. If we both get sick we're in trouble. I'm eating well and excersizing but sleeping all night is often a problem. I can't take naps or I'm insured of a sleepless night. Back to work three days a week and that helps a lot. She has stage 3 lung cancer, directly attributed to years of smoking. Fortunately her chances of survival are looking better but there will be a long term price to pay in lung function. Anybody want to know more about lung cancer? Just keep smoking. (Stolen from a sig line at another place.)
It's warm here, too. In fact, this morning I should go to the barn & see Penny. I haven't been since that cold snap. I want to take off her warmest winter blanket and put on a lighter one, or else she'll get too used to it when it's warm, and then there won't be something extra to put on her when it's cold again. I have to tutor this afternoon, so I should get moving so I can get to the barn and back in time.
The snow is melting, but there's always ice right outside our door, since it's on the shady side of the house and is always the last to melt. I was remembering an ice chopper I had at one time but no longer have and wondering where it went. I sure wish I had that now. It was a blade on a wooden handle, and it was very efficient at breaking up the kind of ice that's in the driveway outside my door. I could put salt out there to melt it, but I hate to do that. Maybe it'll melt in the next few days, since it'll remain pretty warm.
We're supposed to get rain today, and there was a little spatter already, but it stopped. I think I hear thunder, too, though it might be some other sound in the neighborhood, something making a rumble like distant thunder.

Well, I am glad her chances of survival are looking up, Wuzz. I don't know what I would do without my Handsome Honey Bunny. It's rough when your spouse is so ill and scary, too.
I like it when it is a little less manic, as well, Raven. You better get some food out there or that jay may take to swooping on you
Gotta go feed the critters and I am hoping to get them into the round pen early before the wind picks up.
Hubby as a cold so I'll be in comfort mode today.
