Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 2:30 a.m. in "The City."

This blog will of necessity be short and sweet.

I reported on the Trains from yesterday, so that's out of the way. The weather has few changes since yesterday afternoon. The current temperature is 18° under cloudy skies. No snow is falling and that's good since I was just outside with the fur-children. Later today, once the sun rises @ 7:58 a.m., the day will warm to the high of 27° under partly cloudy skies. The sun will set nearly 12 hours later @ 7:50 p.m.

Since the weather looks to be cooperating, Mary plans to head to Wyoming for her weaving session. That will leave me with the fur-children, their walks, and another chance to use Mary's kitchen. I'll be sure to put Ginger in her crate when I am out with Sugar, as Ginger is working on being the good dog that we know she can be, but she isn't there yet.

I am still planning on baking that pie that was in my plans. I was going to do a blueberry pie, but I think that as of now I'll be baking an apple pie for Pi Day, 3/14/17.

Otherwise, I finished my latest book and I'll return that to the library later today. It turned out different than I expected, the sign of good writing. By this time in his career, James Patterson has the formula down pat.

I'm still waiting for a change in the weather towards consistent warmer days, and that should begin with Friday's high of 40° with an 80% chance of rain. We'll be consistently in the 40s after that, with the exception of Saturday's 38°. This being Michigan, and the season being winter for another week, this is normal. The East Coast of the country is experiencing a winter storm that could wreak havoc on the cherry blossoms in Washington, D.C. Hopefully this is the last one for them.

To quote Porky Pig, That's all folks! Ciao.
