Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 1:00 a.. in "The City."

We have a current temperate of 35° under cloudy-skies. Our overnight low is forecast by the NWS to fall to 31°, but with the skies becoming only partly-cloudy. Once the sun rises @ 8:06 a.m., the high should reach 33°, also under partly-cloudy skies. That's well before the sun sets @ 5:09 p.m. In addition, there is another of those Small Craft Advisories in effect until 1:00 p.m. today. Wave heights will reach 4' to 6' as they are pushed by wind gusts up to 25 knots! Later, the waves will be no higher than tan 1' to 3' as the winds subside.

We got all of our indoor chores done yesterday and then took the fur-children to the only big-box home center that allows them to roam the aisles. That's as long as they are on a leash. STWD, as all too often happens, was spooked by some noises and lots of people and she just wanted to leave. However, she was somewhat mollified by the treats that the staff offered to her and Ginger as we were leaving with our ice-melter.

Our lunch yesterday was more of those vegan Italian meatballs that Mary loves, along with the leftover mostaciolli from Sunday. Later, Mary used our leftover rice and made what she called a "Rice Concoction." I call it fried rice, as it included mushrooms, peas, some vegan bacon, and whatever leftover "bits" Mary found in the refrigerator. Here's a pic of her efforts.

Call it what you will, I liked it!

Otherwise, not much is happening now or later. I have my final injections for my knees later this morning and then we hope to have salad in the cafeteria. That's if kale is not the featured green. Then we'll journey to Duncan Woods to see what can be photographed as the snow melts away.

Speaking of the snow, there is another winter storm heading our way, but with the warmer temperatures that we're experiencing now, it is likely to be rain, not snow.

So, that looks like enough for one day, so I'll be heading out now. Ciao.
