Yesterday turned into a veg-out day for both of us. I napped and R read and we had a liht super after which I computered and he read - When Elephants Weep: the emotional lives of animals (1995). I shall put it in my pile to read.

Today BF was french toast and fruit. I muddled about organizing and finding and not finding but feeling that nothing shows much but I feel good about what has been done. Large plants that were in the sun room for warmth are now back in LR, freeing space in SR. Flats of pepper plants - sprouted ! - are on shelf rather than table so it is washed and useable for meals. Dishes are washed... and washed... and washed!

The solar gain enabled me to turn off heaters in both spaces for the day!

Most exciting of all - as I was out in the parking lot to get a good signal to phone friend in NYS, hundreds of snow geese flew over us, literally hundreds! R was out there also, clearing snow and ice. What an incredible sight - V after V of white birds against the pure blue sky!!

We conferred about two new properties for sale. R phoned about one but the owner has given the tenants until the end of April to come up with funding. We drove by the other and determined it was not for us. Stopped at a farm near the mill to see about a fork lift to do a big job in a week or so. No problem. Big farm; big equipment!

Beautiful thawing day.
