Monday, February 15, 2010

I slept in I didn’t get up until 7:10. I had some coffee and took Danny out. We walked around the mobile home park. My road is paved but the other road is only paved a quarter of the way. The rest is dirt. When the snow melts, it is muddy. Danny gets filthy. Needless to say we only walk there when it is either frozen or dry.

I went over my bills today and realized there will be no mail or the bank will not be open. At least I have them ready for tomorrow. I did some cleaning. With this weather, it's hard to keep up with the dirt and grit that gets tracked in. I take off my shoes and either dry off or wash Danny's feet and it still gets tracked in. When we get in the door, Danny lifts up his right front paw for me to dry it. It's become routine.

My bird list for today:

Juncos, jays, robins, grackles, starlings, cowbirds, white throated sparrows, house sparrows, Canada Geese, turkey vultures, doves and a walk by the marina added the coot, either a black duck or a female mallard and herring gulls.

I decide to take Danny into town for a walk so we could walk on the sidewalks and street and not have to deal with the mud. I also wanted to retrace my steps from Saturday night because I lost part of my earring. Only the hook remained when I got home. Hopefully, it is in Cheryl’s car. I’ll call her when she gets home from work.

I was going to get a new microwave for the mobile home but didn’t feel like going out. I looked up in consumer reports to see which ones they liked. I also looked in e-pinions and they liked the same ones. It gives me an idea of what to look for and how much they are.

I watch some of the “Get Smart” DVD’s that my brother lent me. I fell asleep while watching. I am probably still tired from all the shoveling. My real estate lady called. Someone wants to look at the house tomorrow. I told her there was only on parking space available. The city didn’t do a good job in plowing out my street. If they come in more than one car, they’ll have to park half way out in the road. I can’t believe someone is looking in this kind of weather. Maybe they are desperate and will make a good offer.

I started to take Danny out for his 4pm walk but he didn’t get far. The fire whistle went off and a dog that lives on the other side of the woods in back of me started howling. Danny turned around and wanted to come home. I call the dog out in the back, “The Hound of the Baskervilles.”

Well, it’s time to get some dinner.
