Yesterday morning when we got up at 5 AM the temperature was 5 degrees!......but the day ended up being sunny with a high of 44. We had some melting and by Sunday we hope to be able to drive the red car back up to its rightful place in the driveway. This morning was 21 when we got up, still a little below normal. Maxine is out watching the mourning doves sit on the frozen birdbath and the cardinals, Carolina wrens, towhees, and juncos flit from feeder to feeder having breakfast. Cliff's been online looking at Jeeps and other 4-wheel drive vehicles. Two months and sixteen days til the "for sale" sign goes up on Candlewick.
Some days are full of doing tasks and chores that Cliff did for me. The floor wasn't that dirty but he enjoyed saying. "Guess I need to pull out the vacuum. I'm tripping over debris." I thanked him. Whenever I was in the kitchen trying out new recipes, making cookies or the double batch tapioca pudding for him, he was there beside (getting in my way sometimes) washing the utensils, pots/pans, cutting boards, drying them and putting everything back in their proper places only to have me take some things back out and reuse again. "I just washed that" he would state. He learned to ask if I were through with things before he cleaned up after me. I thanked him. He emptied the dishwasher when it was finished in such an orderly manner (getting in my way sometimes because I was also in the kitchen working but he wanted to be there with me). I thanked him. Every morning he made my bed reminding me of the order that the pillows needed to be placed. John&
