I went to exercise class today and had a good workout. I returned my DVD’s to the library. When I got home, I called the gas company. I am on automatic delivery and I thought they should have delivered last week. I called last week and the lady said I was scheduled for this week. I called yesterday and she said Thursday or Friday. I told her I was below 20 and the big storm was coming on Friday. She said the guy would be here. I was hoping he would come today so I could go back to Vineland before the Storm. I don’t want to leave before he comes. I don’t want to run out of gas and have no heat and the pipes freeze. It’s supposed to get very cold after the storm. I hope the guy gets here in the morning so I can get to Vld. before the storm.

I took Danny to walk in town. I stopped on the south side of the marina to look at the ducks I had seen earlier in the morning. I took my bird book so I could identify them. I believe they were mergansers. The females had red crested heads.

Here is the rest of my bird list for today:

Juncos, robins, red breasted woodpecker, blue jays, grackles, house sparrows, mourning doves, Canada geese, a greater black back gull a pair of turkey vultures sitting on a post at the dock, a few herring gulls, and another duck possibly a pair of ruddy ducks. I also saw a pair of hawks fly out of the woods of the hunting grounds. They were too fast for me to get my binos up to identify them. They were shaped like red tails.

The robins were high in the trees. We generally see them on the lawns in spring plucking worms out of the ground. In the winter, they flock up looking for seeds and berries.

I don’t think I did anything today. I got some clothes and blankets out that I want to take back to Vld. I watched a movie on fancast it was a mystery with Roy Shieder and Meryl Streep. It was OK. It was a little slow moving at first but it had a good ending.
