It´s snowing! It is beautiful but happily I do not have to go out in it. I filled the bird feeder and put a fresh suet cake out. The birds are happy about that. There have been bluebirds, robins, bluejays, juncos, chickadees, doves, a thrush, red wing black birds, red bellied woodpeckers, and downy woodpeckers. There are probably other visitors too.
As a result of the snow, the best laid plans went awry. I turned on the dime and put Plan B into action.
Schools were closed yesterday, today, and tomorrow. We´ll see what happens on Friday. The piles of papers in my office are not as high as they were. It sure would be nice to get organized. I need to make a research plan for Thomas Rickman so that I will be prepared when I go to the State Library. There was a webinar tonight on the importance of evaluating information and making research logs and research plans.
We didn´t have mail delivery on Monday because of the holiday. Yesterday we didn´t have mail delivery either. We often have a late in the day delivery and with the snow and ice on the road yesterday, our post person didn´t get to our mailbox. It was probably too dark. We had a pile of mail today. It was worth waiting for. I really like getting mail. I always have. When I was a kid I pen pals and cousins who I wrote to regularly. Then it was all the genealogy letters I looked forward to receiving. Everyday I eagerly checked the mailbox for a letter or two. So even today checking the mailbox is important. Of course, now it is not only snail mail but email too.
Saturday is the George Washington Birthday Luncheon. The weather may not cooperate though. If we get snow and sleet the luncheon will be postponed. We received an invitation to a St. Patrick´s day party. It´s just less than a month away. There are always so many opportunities to be distracted and go places. Luncheons, lectures, parties, you name it. Meeting with friends is the best.
