Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 8:30 p.m. in "The City."

What a great day we had. We got up late, had a nice lunch of salad and vegan burgers, and then settled in for some crossword solving and reading. 

Our snow-removal service came by as we were ready to let the fur-children out after their breakfast, but we managed to squeeze then in before the service moved around to the back forty. It looked from our warm vantage point here in the manse like he had to move between three and four inches of snow.  All good.

In addition, we managed to give a pawdicure to our fur-children. They are getting much more agreeable to the process. That, or they are more attuned to the dental treats that they always get afterwards. Either way, it was not an unpleasant experience.

We have a current temperature of 33° under cloudy-skies, that feels like 25° with a north wind blowing @ 10 mph. Tonight's low will drop to an actual 21° before we rebound to tomorrow's high temperature of 31° under mostly cloudy skies. 

The Small Craft Advisory remains in effect until 4:00 a.m. tomorrow, with wind speeds of 15 to 25 knots and wave heights of one to four feet.

The NWS forecast also includes a barometric pressure of 30.11" and rising, while my DTWS is showing 29.51 inches and falling. The sun will rise tomorrow morning @ 8:00 a.m. and set later @ 5:56 p.m.

We decided to return some books to the library this afternoon and then continue our sojourn around GH for some picture taking. Mary drove and I snapped. A nice division of labor. I have chosen some pix that I like along with a pic of the coal tipple here in GH that I colored yesterday and which I also snapped for comparison. 

My colored pencil drawing. 

The real Coal Tipple.

Of course, the trip took us to many places here in GH. We also traveled to Grand Haven State Park and Harbor Island, and the Lake Forest Cemetery too. As I said, I snapped a lot of pix, so here are a few for your enjoyment.

I captured this gull in flight as we drove through Grand Haven State Park.

This tree is growing, or not, in the Lake Forest Cemetery.

Some of he heavy equipment deconstructing the BLP power Plant on Harbor Island. 

Mary suggested this shot when I was out taking pix of the power plant. It is view under the small bridge leading to the power plant. 

The sun behind the clouds at the State Park.

Another angle on the gull in flight.

Snow covered Dewey Hill.

People bundled up near the catwalk that leads to the lighthouses. 

We settled in for the final episode of Mr. Robot and then a great dinner of acorn squash and vegan sausages. 

We have nothing specific on our agenda for tomorrow. We scoped out the cemetery as a possible walkabout destination. Parking may be an issue, but we think that there are a few places that should work.

Otherwise, more reading, more music, more arts and crafts, etc. Ciao.
