Another cool and pretty day. No wind. A bunch of winter wrens have taken up residence in the neighborhood. They're tiny brown birds with an upturned tail...very vocal and quite energetic. They make a chattering noise that could easily be mistaken for a tree rat. There are also a bunch of chestnut backed chickadees around. Think maybe I'll acquire a bird feeder - a little tweety-bird action would be amusing with morning coffee.
Just got back from the elders where I rearranged some firewood. We got a cord after I returned from my fall vacation. It was wet when we got it and has not dried out a whit. The woodshed is pretty full but I managed to get about half of it stacked inside. It should dry a little better. I hate to have wood under a tarp outside once it snows. Makes it harder to keep the path to the back of the house clear and is generally a pain in the ass to keep the tarp squared away in winter weather.
Last night's dinner went well...all things considered. Mom's appetite is not good; but dad and auntie tucked-into the groceries with some enthusiasm. The pot roast recipe is a keeper.
Auntie has not checked-in today. She's kinda bear-like (or maybe it's lion-like) - she'll gorge herself and then sleep for a day or two... She was well provisioned with left-overs when she left last night...
Tonight I'm going to Doug's and Alison's for supper. Gonna make an Apple Brown Betty for dessert...got the fixin's yesterday; but didn't have time to make it for last night's supper.
Well, off to the kitchen...
