Good afternoon GH.  Well, just as the National Weather Service predicted, the weather is quickly going from good to bad.  We are starting to see the snow falling, and the temperatures never reached their expected high of 38 degrees.  And, the wind is blowing in gusts of 20 - 30 MPH. Snow is expected to fall all night, and end in the early AM hours.  Predictions range from 2 - 6 inches.  Sometimes, snow is expected to fall at over one inch per hour. Of course, that is what the people in Kansas City thought too.  Only time will tell.

Now for the good news.  My snowblower "parts" arrived today.  I am now ready for anything that might fall from the skies overnight.  I just have to find a way to get the "parts" down to the man-cave. 

I cooked more kale and squash soup today.  This one was a double batch.  I chopped and chopped, diced and poured, and made broth and chopped more kale and peeled squash and sauteed and boiled and simmered, and then I ate some.  I pronounce it good.  So does Mary. Best of all, the house smells like cooking went on here, so that is all good.  I don't feel a need to cover the smell in spite of what the marketing people would have us believe. I also saved some squash for Sugar the Weather Dog's breakfast. Of course, in her other role as the official Sous Dog, she was Sugar on the spot and got some of the fallout.  

Then I played on my guitar some, and read my email and noted that Barb is as proud as a peahen about the fact that her granddaughter was chosen to play with girls much older than she on the soccer team.  I'd be proud too.  I still can't believe that she is 12.  Time flies when you are having fun.  I heard that Barb and Ed are going to the time trials for NASCAR, because they got free passes in Vegas.  I guess that what happens in Vegas happens at the race track.

Now, it its time to read some, do a little cross word puzzle solving and reading. I also have to fit watching NCIS in there too.  Life is sure harder when you are retired.  So, until next time, when I may add some pictures, Ciao.
