Good morning, @Madken65
You certainly are an early riser.
Good morning!
It's a cold 20 F, heading for a high of 50 F. Partly cloudy and a bit of a breeze, so wear a coat and find your mittens.
Make it a great day.
The daily weather from the ancient Blue Ridge.
Today's #BigBand #Standard is Woody Herman and "Woodchopper's Ball" from 1939.
As near as I can get for a Fur Rondy song.
Fur Rondy? Yes -- Snow sculpture, Miners and Trappers Ball, Blanket Toss, Pancake feed, snowshoe softball, outhouse races, running of the reindeer, polka dancing, carnival, and of course, pelt auction.
There is, alas, no more icy Grand Prix.

Happy Monday!
Chilly 20s F warm up to the 50s with lots of sunshine today.
Remember no mail on Presidents Day.
That's the weather and a reminder from the ancient Blue Rudge.
Make it a great day.
Today's #BigBand #Standard song is the Andrews Sisters "Straighten up and fly right" from 1945. Buzzards and monkeys, folks.
Enjoy!

Whew, a busy morning!
Good Thursday morning!
High 20s F this morning, mostly cloudy with a high of 55 F.
Finished my YTD stats this morning (yay!) and packed up Oscar. He really is heavy.
That's the weather and my morning from the ancient Blue Ridge.
Have a wonderful day!

We enjoyed your cake -- apple spice with caramel frosting.

Early (still have leaf mulch in the bed), but very welcome.

When across the ocean fighting in a war, be sure to send your love home.
Last page of a letter written by Col. George C. Marshall while serving in France during #WWI to his wife Lily. Such love in a 16-year marriage.

Good Valentine's/Ash Wednesday morning! Whatta combo.
High 30s F with partly cloudy skies. Highs in the mid-50s. Cooling off into the high 20s F tonight.
It's Wednesday so there is knitting tonight. I finished my tam so will be working on welcome blanket squares.
That is your weather from the ancient Virginia Blue Ridge.
Make it a wonderful day; be kind when it's not easy or expected.
