I closed my curtains at 5:30 yesterday afternoon - the sun had set and it was as dark and cloudy as it had been all day. I sat down with my cats and a book and I read. I stopped to eat supper and then read until I went to bed. When I arose this morning, I was quite surprised to find 5 inches of snow on the ground. The weather forecaster had stated that Boulder might get .3 inches overnight. - Hah! With the snow piled up, I put out fatty nuts for the squirrels and then put a nice scattering of hulled sunflower seeds out for the birds. Nedi thought that 14 degrees was delightful, so I had to "round him up" to get him back inside after I put the seeds and nuts out on the patio.
An old family friend contacted me via Facebook during the night, and I was delighted to hear from her. She and my sister Kathy are the same age, and spent a good deal of time together while on Chincoteague. I can't wait to tell Kathy about Joan making contact. I think it'll make her happy. One of my good friends, and my employer at The Corner Bookstore, where I met my husband, passed away yesterday on the Shore. Betty Wellborn Taylor was a kind, warm, loving, and giving lady. Her warmth will be missed by all those who knew her.
Today is the big American football day - the Super Bowl. It will be played in Arizona, with the New England Patriots facing the Seattle Seahawks. I don't really like either team, but if I have to choose one, I'd pick the Seahawks. Mainly because I simply don't like Tom Brady, the quarterback for the Patriots, nor do I like their head coach, Bill Belichick. But I'll be watching the commercials with great interest, and will prepare my supper during the half-time show.
Getting ready to go out and walk Tessa this morning, and then again at 3 this afternoon... She's a sweetheart of a dog, and is always so excited to go out for a walk. She's a real love!
