Good morning!
Midpoint of the week.
It's a cold 20 F but warming up to the mid-50s thanks to the sun, and hopefully no wind.
Wednesday means knitting group tonight!
That's your report from the ancient Blue Ridge.
Make it a great day.

Join us in our CoSo FUNdraiser, where each guess for just $1.00 leads us closer to finding the Mad Hatter! ๐ฉ๐ซ Your playful guesses not only add to our enchanting search but also support CoSo, our magical place lovingly built by @th3j35t3r. Let's come together in this whimsical quest, showing that in our Wonderland, no one carries the weight alone. Every dollar, every guess, weaves another thread of joy and togetherness in our community. Let the guessing begin! ๐ต๐ #CosoFUNdraiser #WheresTheHatter
Look! There was a desk under there!
It never reached critical mass, but was past time to sort through.
*No archival items were in the pile* It was mostly filing. FTR I hate filing.

George Marshall in a seersucker suit with bowtie and a straw boater. He doesn't look like a pushover, though.

The #BigBand/#Standard song of the day is Take the A train by Duke Ellington. I have, to visit Columbia and walked by the famed Apollo Theater.

Good morning! It's Feb. 6th, I remind myself; I thought yesterday was the 12th for some reason.
A cold 23 F but sun will bring highs into the mid- to upper- 40s. Staying dry, but watch -- it will rain this weekend. That's how it works.
Have a lovely day.

The relief right now is incredible. With all the awful Rei and Thomas have been through, losing their home will not be one of them.

Meanwhile, my Black History Month book display is a rousing success. Half of the books I put out initially have been checked out. I've replenished with Black poetry.

George Marshall graduated from VMI in 1901 at 20. He had to wait for his December birthday to be eligible for commissioning, finally in February 1902. It's signed by Secretary of War Elihu Root and President Theodore Roosevelt.

Good Monday morning!
Chilly high 20s F to start the day, with frosty windshield to scrape. Sunny with highs in the upper 50s F, which is about 15 above normal.
The daffodils are poking their stems up. You're a bit early, flowers. Go back to sleep another few weeks.
Make it a great day

A pirate walks into a bar with a paper towel in his hat.
The bartender says, "Hey pirate, what's with the paper towel?"
The pirate replies, "Arr, I got a bounty on me head!"
I wish you good people a quiet night with this beautiful but restrained sunset.
I hope your Sunday is beautiful and peaceful -- everyone needs peace. Even puppy dogs.

Wow, Thursday was a busy day in the #MarshallFoundationLibrary -- intern, former intern, and volunteers!
So much work getting done -- inventorying, accessioning, scanning, indentifying photos.
