I’m ready for the snow storm! Got a candle, a one cell flashlight and
extra battery, and kerosene for the space heater; I think there is a
strike anywhere match left in the box.. I’m good for the duration.
It was sad to learn about Mark’s dog Summer passing. I was always
glad he adopted an older dog from the shelter and he gave her what were
probably the best years of her life. Like so many of her breed, she was a
gentle soul and even tolerated cats.
I received an interesting comment on my Smokin’ blog from last week. Here is a link to a blog
about ginseng and its cultivation. When I was young, I tried to
cultivate some of the wild root but all I ever got was stunted plants
that died after the first year. Ms. Woods seems to know how to make a
good crop and has written a book about it.
A couple of days ago I saw my first robin of the year other than the
local wintering flock. One lone male was scavenging in my back yard. Any
sign of coming spring is a good sign even if it is tempered by the
coming storm.
It has begun to snow as I write this.
