Feb 15th - Not Much Happening

Not a lot going on here. The weather has been awesome for Feb. Lows the last few days have been near freezing. After tonight no lows are forecast below 41 in the 10 day forecast. I put enough wood in the boiler to provide heat through tonight and tomorrow, then it can go out. Temperatures are to warm to fool around with keeping the fire going. We will almost certainly have some more cold weather but I will refire it when that happens.

I finished splitting & stacking the wood I brought back with me. Kathy burned more leaves, in addition to watching Nolan a couple of days. I think he is coming here tomorrow. He is checking out my phone/camera in the photo below

Prior to coming over to my chair he had been pounding on the front door, wanting to go outside. He loves being outside. We got our coats on and I took him for a 20 minute stroller ride out through the woods, across the dam and around our small pond. (Kathy normally either gives him a stroller ride around the big driveway loop or walks him around the small loop, at least once a day when he is here.)

Last night was our Valentines dinner at church. Lots of folks are sick so attendance was down. I think we only had about 25  people. Kathy fixed everything. I helped carry stuff from our house to her van, and then into the church basement. A lady helped her with cleanup. Other than that she did everything, just like she wanted. There was no charge for the dinner, just a free will offering if people wanted to make a contribution. She made a little over $100 which will go to church missions.

This morning was our weekly Men's Fellowship breakfast. There were 6 of us regulars. Just as our breakfasts were being brought to us a guy ask if he could join us. He was in Centertown checking out a piece of ground he had rented, north of town. He joined right in with our discussions. I hope he comes back again. He was on my deaf ear side so I didn't hear everything he said. I'm don't know where he goes to church.

Sunday afternoon we went over to a small "hole in the wall" restaurant in Russellville, about 6 miles from us, for lunch. The place could use a good cleaning, but the food was good. We went back over today and had hamburgers for lunch. (They have great deep fried mushrooms.)

Kelsey & family are coming for supper tonight. We have lots of left overs from the Valentines day dinner.

After Men's Fellowship I drove over to California and got a haircut. While I was there I went to the feed store and bought 50# of corn for the deer feeder. Between the deer, the squirrels, and a few birds they emptied the feeder while I was in TN. I filled the feeder, then took a couple of bucket fulls of gravel up the driveway and filled potholes. After that I sharpened the chain on my chainsaw. I've got to get motivated and get several dead trees cut down and cut up before it gets hot, but not today 😊. Today I'm going to take nap right after I hit the send button on this.

God is good. May He bless you and yours.
