We haven't gotten just enough to cover the ground each night and then it has been melting during the day. I'm waiting for 50 degrees this Thursday! Glad your BIL came thru his bypass surgery OK.

Way too early, but it was from my brother, who had moved last June from Washington to Idaho and wanted everyone to have his new address. I guess he wants to get cards and letters. I guess I'll send them again this year.

Like you say, it's easy to shovel that amount and I'd be happy if all of our snow falls this winter were that light.<br /><br />Well done on the Christmas cards.

Prayers for a swift recovery. Your bird feeder photo looks like it should be in a magazine. We've been having daily rain but that's just fine. Much better than snow in my opinion. It doesn't have to be shoveled!<br />I worked on Christmas cards too. I think I may mail them next week. Since our address changed I'm hoping to get mine to people soon so they have the new address. The post office has NOT been good about forwarding it and the people who bought our house are just throwing away our mail instead of returning it. I even left her a note with my phone number and said I would pick it up at their convenience. No word from her.<br />So, I'm just hoping to get mine out early. We could all use a little early Christmas this year couldn't we?<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-13446765506859531192020-11-17T10:32:51.034-06:002020-11-17T10:32:51.034-06:00There was a time in our history that 5 bypasses we...There was a time in our history that 5 bypasses were nearly impossible.

No suprises in surgery and everything went fine. Today recovery begins . . . Our hospitals are full, the staff including nurses are contracting covid. My friend's daughter who is a patient advocate in the cancer center was pressed into service doing a second shift as an orderly.

Not enough to stick but enough to make it cold and remind you that winter is on its way. Your dinner sounds yummy. Glad your BIL came through his surgery okay.

I made Katie go out and sit in a pile of snow covered oak leaves with the morning sun on her for her November page of her calendar. She didn't have to be convinced, this is her kind of weather. I expect if the sun comes out the snow will melt pretty quick and since I don't have to go anywhere I'm not even brushing off the car. I might regret that later, we'll see.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824027366993286152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-61851908255198894522020-11-17T08:55:55.924-06:002020-11-17T08:55:55.924-06:00The Canadians just North of Minnesota say eh or A ...The Canadians just North of Minnesota say eh or A at the end of every sentence:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-63214785492490189842020-11-17T08:23:22.744-06:002020-11-17T08:23:22.744-06:00Covid is on everyone's minds now I think.
