WINTER SCENES

-



Hello dear bloggy friends. I hope that you are weathering the Winter well.❄️ Here in Eastern Pennsylvania we have had it much milder than expected, at least so far. We have had it very cold but now our temps are in the 50’s. Unbelievable! May it continue.

I have dug into my photos to come up with something wintry. Can you tell that I miss the ocean?




The SUPER BOWL was last night. It was a VERY exciting game. However, our team, the EAGLES, didn't win. Roger was jumping and hollering like a madman throughout the ups and downs. 35 to 35 right up to the end. THEN the CHIEFS GOT A FIELD GOAL IN THE LAST MINUTE OR TWO. So, that was that. I was disappointed and felt bad for the Eagles. But Roger was beside himself. He called some of his cronies to commiserate and they decided the game had been fixed.  🙄  I heard all this from upstairs. I put in ear pods, put the pillow over my head and drifted off to sleep. This morning I got up around 6 to let the dogs out and feed them and also the cats were sitting by their bowls waiting. Roger usually does the early feeding and I feed them at night. 



But poor Roger was quiet and depressed when he did get up. He spent the morning in the bird room talking to Budgie and doing bills at his desk. I have stayed out of his way but did ask him if he wanted to watch something. He loves movies but I prefer mysteries.  He said no, he wasn't in the mood. It's almost 2 o'clock and he is still not functioning. He hasn't eaten anything and has gone back to bed. Can you believe all this?! Hopefully he'll snap out of it soon.  Poor guy. I can't imagine getting so wrapped up in football that it would put me off my food!💛













Well, I hope Roger recovers by tomorrow! I’m looking forward to something chocolate❣️





But for now I think I will brew a pot of tea.





Take good care of yourselves!

    You better perk poor Roger up! We do not follow football at all...so it is all Greek to me:)

    Good game. But it ended not with a bang but a whimper. Nice winter photos . . . of another, colder winter?

    Sorry that Roger has taken the Eagles loss so hard; he's really a diehard fan. My husband also watched the game and while disappointed, he recovered fairly soon saying it was a great game. Your winter scenes are lovely, Susan. There is no snow here and temps in the 50 and near 60 this week.

    gorgeous images of winter, here in central new jersey we have not gotten any snow!! i am a die hard chiefs fan and i do not feel the game was fixed. i thought both teams played so well, the game was close, exciting...but only one team was going to win. there were several questionable calls against both teams but i thought it was a very well called, fair game!!!

BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED

Hello there wherever you are! A little update from the person who has a very boring existence these days. Well, I guess I left off with the sale of my parents house and the divviing up of the proceeds to various family members. That open a whole lot of friction with lawyers involved. That took time and the buyers had construction workers due to start work on the house. They extended the closing date by 10 days and I was sweating bullets on the last day but it happened and is behind me now.   Once that was over with we scheduled to have a whole house generator. Electricians, and excavators were scheduled but because of backlogs we didn’t see anyone until after Christmas. We are in a valley and we have to drive up to our road. A ditch had to be dug from our house to the road. The power company had to replace a pole and run new lines up at the road. Trees had to be cut down and huge boulders taken out of the ditch. What a mess! It rained just about every day when the were doing all 30...

RAINY DAY MUSINGS

  Hello dear bloggy friends! Another rainy blog of musings. I hope you don’t mind. So, what am I doing on this dark, rainy day? I am reliving nostalgia…of a youth wasted on a picturesque island on the coast of Maine.  I can remember buying my first record player in my teens. I don’t know what it was.  My younger brother was the music buff in the family. I had no time. I was working or reading. School. No dating though. Fast forward to today.     About a year or so ago I was introduced via YouTube to the BEE GEES! I love love love this group.  A  musical 🎶 treasure I missed out on in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s!!! How did I miss SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER?? Yes, I know my world was warped. Working while the world turned. Until I retired there was very little down time for me and when there was I read. Love to read. I’m sure I knew what was going on, after all I have lived in cities for most of my life after leaving the Island. But better late than never I ...

BEING GOOD TO ME

-
  Hello and thank you for stopping by! It’s raining here, has been for days and the rivers and streams are in overdrive with massive flooding. I hope that you are okay wherever you are. As for me I am a bit stressed these days so have retreated to knitting and writing. I feel somewhat better when I put myself first. I know that might sound selfish but I need to prioritize in my mind what comes first…having a heart attack or taking a break from life. Just joking. I think many of you reading this have developed coping mechanisms and strategies for dealing psychologically with life issues and unpleasant situations. I have dealt with horrible life circumstances by retreating into myself. I have suffered my whole life with social anxiety and a lack of self confidence. I hide it well but lately it is manifesting itself again. I rather think I am my mother’s child after all. My father had lots of self confidence and an extremely outgoing personality. He loved to laugh, sing, and was very ...
