February 14th and the aftermath

I turned 41 on February 14th. We had our first snowstorm of the Winter and it was a good one. We had 2 feet of blowing and drifting snow. I stayed home partly because the weather was so awful and partly because my son was sick. He ended up being sick most of the next week too. I'm glad the snowstorm and my birthday are over. Other than the cards I received, and some gifts, I tried to ignore getting older.

I've been letting go of "stuff". It's very freeing. My kitchen if starting to contain only tools that I use. The more I let go of the more I want to get rid of.

The chickens are letting me know that the days are getting longer. Suddenly they are laying lots of eggs. They really did not like January and February.

Global warming

I finally saw "An Inconvienient Truth". It was good. Really good. It inspired me to get better at my gardening. Work towards staying at home sooner.

The next day I saw "March of the Penguins". It's really sad. You can see how the penguins are so endangered. Just like the polar bears. The two movies go together but not in a good way.

We are in a deep freeze here. Not much snow. Supposedly Spring is coming early this year. So says the groundhog.
