23 days until March. I’m into the count down!

I just step out the back door and look up at the sky to know we live under a sky stiched with jet trails.
Reminds me of that old song: Leaving on a jet plane, (written by John Denver and song by Peter, Paul and Mary)

When walking close to our place, it is a joy to come across wildlife
He/she stayed very still for me, letting me approach, even so much as politely waiting for me to snap the camera
You can’t tell but he/she is watching me. America’s symbol of strength and freedom….
In the flesh (er..feathers)

Finally, I came to the end of a huge, giant mess!
A mess that took a year to fix (and in many ways still isn’t fixed, but oh…well.)
A year ago in February I inherited this mess. The person who was supposed to be ‘doing the job’ stopped doing the job and then finally retired saying “It’s a mess, but I guess that’s life”!
For months on end I sorted through boxes and drawers, I filed and re-filed. I researched and hunted down.
All along my REGULAR WORK kept on going on.
Of course the HGM (huge giant mess) impacted my regular work, and the work of the college, and the three other companies I work with.
But on Thursday of last week, I finished.
IT took me a year.
As soon as I pushed send on the file, I got sick.
I spend the weekend sick. I’m still trying to get myself back to snuff, but I am at work. The piles are smaller, regular work is humming along.
I’m just glad I can now integrate the HGM into my regular work.
I’m glad now that the HGM won’t cause me to lose anymore sleep.
Finally it’s done.

This isn’t our cow. She belongs to a neighboring rancher who is renting the sweet corn field next to us. She is really nice girl, comes to the fence every morning and every evening to watch me do the chores. She is fascinated with the chickens and has been known to sniff on Sammy-Sam the cat.
Since she is a range cow, I’m sure she doesn’t have a name, but I have named her Friend.
Cold here again.
And snowing.
Next week is February ….winter is, hopefully, winding down.

This has been a very hard winter on lots of things, besides me. I took a little walk around seeing what the wind, the snow, and the huge ice problems did to the yard. Although, this isn’t so major it will not kill the Lilac I found it rather sad.
Terry’s Grandmother planted this huge old lilac tree around 1920, making it 90 years old.
As soon as the weather starts to warm up we will get out there and prune the branches. It would be neat if it could live another 90 years.

The lovely January thaw came, as you saw in the photo of our driveway.
Then the second day of the melt our yard turned to m.u.d.!
But, oh, well! We have to have mud to have dry soil.
Then day three:
Back to the deep freeze.
30* today at noon.
Only 6 weeks left of winter (I hope).
Linda
(Double YEAH!)
