I was up in the night Sunday night putting another blanket on the bed. It was mighty cold! When I got up at 6AM on Monday morning (because I didn’t want to get out in the cold) this is what the north side thermometer read.

One of the geraniums is still floweringI was up at 5AM on Sunday morning. I got the post up, cleaned up the kitchen, swept the steps and walkways, vacuumed the addition where I’d made a big mess tending plants, potted up the amaryllis, and did a few other jobs.

I was given this amaryllis on Thanksgiving. It was the first time I’d had a waxed bulb amaryllis. The idea is the wax preserves the moisture and the bulb has all the nutrients for flowering. You aren’t supposed to do anything to it besides provide filtered sunlight, just enjoy it.

It was snowing lightly again when I got up on Saturday morning. Tiny dusting flakes but a lot of them. So they did make about an inch or so more snow on the ground and haze in the distance. It stopped about 8AM or 9AM.I had a lot of help in the laundry room pulling up shades and finishing laundry.

On Friday morning I didn’t get up until 5AM. There was no greeting at the bedroom door as usual. I wandered around doing early morning stuff, and Larry just stayed on the couch by the masonry heater. It was hard to tell if he was hot or not because of the proximity of the heater.

On Thursday as I was answering posts, I needed a photo for a response to @riverflows’ post about minimalism. So I tried to scan it into the computer. Well, scanning isn’t straight forward like copying. First I had to find the directions I’d saved. Then I had to figure out where the Scan Utility window was. Then I had to set the settings. And finally I could scan the photo. It only took just over an hour. Sigh… But I did it all by myself! Of course, I was supervised.
