Good morning! 'Tis a beautiful but cold pre-spring day. We have more daylight, and are gaining nearly two minutes a day now. The extra sunshine is most welcome.----
Carolyn is well enough to go to her hairdresser this morning. About all that ails her now is a backache from lying in bed so much. Dr. Ken has prevailed once more. TLC Alice; TLC.

Alice and Nessa, in case you want to see the once beautiful spot where I made this photo, go out Knob Creek Rd. just past Lowe's and turn on Fairridge Rd. at Knob Creek Brethren Church. It is a short way out on the left.

February looms and it means time to begin working on income taxes. I've already finished Chris' but doing ours as a sole proprietor isn't so easy. Everything has to be meticulously accounted for; tax software sure helps. I will probably sink back into a state of gloomus until mid-April, so don't expect much good news from here.

Sometime in the next couple weeks, we should be seeing early arriving robins. The males usually come up first for territorial purposes I suppose. Soon, the year's first litters of baby squirrels will be born; just some more hungry mouths to feed this summer. Tree rats generally have two litters each year, making for the purchase of a lot of peanuts. Most of the articles and books I've read about gray squirrels are wrong about some things, one being that they are total loners. In winter, several will share a nest, greeting each other at dusk by rubbing noses. I thought only Native Alaskans did that.

Carolyn is at work; the house is quiet...
