A chilly 10 degrees good morning to you. However, the sun is shining and the temperature is supposed to rise to almost 30 degrees today. That is a heatwave. And it is supposed to be that way again tomorrow except that by evening we may be getting some snow of some amount. It won’t be anything major, maybe an inch, but I’m not anxious for it because this time it will be a “wetter snow” and the temperature is supposed to drop back to the low 20’s on Friday. It has been some weird weather all across the nation. One could almost say that we were getting the “good weather” here. Else where they are having snow by the foot or they are having tornadoes and other strong storms. My daughter Heather and her husband went over to Star, Idaho where they built a new home and they got almost a foot of snow. Being from Southern California, they were thrilled, but none of their new neighbors were quite as happy about it. That region usually get maybe 24 inches for an entire winter season and they got a foot in one snowfall. My grandson, Josh and his family live up in New Hampshire and they posted picture of them all going snowmobiling and it looked like they were having a blast. Oh to be young again. 

I got all of the snow we had cleared off of the driveway and the sidewalks on Tuesday. The snow we got was only about 1/4 of an inch and it was light and fluffy. So, I took the leaf blower out there and got it all cleaned off. I wanted to do that before we drove on it and packed it down by driving on it. But I will end up shoveling the next one I suspect, since it is supposed to be wetter. Or maybe, since we don’t have a lot of places to go, I’ll just leave it. It is supposed to get back to normal temperatures of 41degrees next week. 

Today we are meeting Brenda and Andy for lunch at St. Joe Inn. It is a tradition we started many years ago with her mom and dad. We meet for lunch and have a great visit, some fried mushrooms and a pitcher of beer. 

Kari is here this morning to clean the house so we are going to head out shortly and get out of the way. I hope you have a blessed day. Stay warm and pray for those folks who don’t have the warm home to go to like you do. We had a homeless man die of hypothermia here in town. He had been offered a place in a shelter but reused it. Maybe he thought it was just his time to lay down and give up on living; I don’t know. But, may his soul Rest In Peace.

And my God grant you peace today.
