I commiserate with Mrs. Duck.
Ice for us this weekend meant no power
(100K customers in Rochacha and 100K customers in Syracuse), plus we lost a
maple tree and a locust tree in the backyard. Fortunately, our neighbours
garage only lost a small piece of flashing because of our maple. Also some
big cherry braches came down Forced us to buy a chain saw - at least we
won't need to buy so much firewood next season....Finally the house is warm
again, instead of just the kitchen. Wish we had a gas stove.

The pond iced over again last night. Mama Duck is giving Papa a
talking too. They are out there in the middle. She's standing and
complaining and shaking and stomping her feet. He's staring off into
space, sitting on the ice, trying to keep his back to her.
Two weeks ago Suzy explained to me that Mama Duck had told Papa Duck it
was too early to go North, but he insisted on getting an early start
and wouldn't listen. Couples seem to have the same disagreements over
and over again. Stubborn ones anyway.
I should enjoy this. Its another week I won't feel torn between the
work I need to do in my office and the painting that I need to do on
the house. And another week or so before that spring time air makes me
sleepy and makes me want to take afternoon naps.
HGTV! Goodness! From humble preservationeer to stardom and celebrity!
I can hardly wait to see pictures of you at the Supermaket checkout!
