Good morning. I have coffee. Got the bird up and took him with me to get the paper. Now he's on his java tree considering his breakfast options. Little dogs waiting for food to drop.

OK,. so I'm going back to watching Diagnosis on Netflix. It's an awesome show.

@jessicascott09 I hope so!! Fingers crossed for you.

I successfully assembled the rototiller and hardly half an hour later I was rototilling! I sowed the Calif wildflower mix. Now we wait for spring with bated breath, I guess.

@BugsnYogi Me, too! I really love the fog. Around here it wafts up from the ground too, so it's really mysteriously beautiful. I hope you get a great foggy morning soon.

Weather update: Now that the sun is up, I can report that it is very very foggy at the house.

Good morning I have coffee its dark out and 42F

@rpardee I get it. But I still have no regrets.

Iron Chef México is really helping me with spoken Spanish comprehension. They speak fast but the vocabulary tends to be the easier words I’ve learned. Right now they’re cooking with bugs as the secret ingredient.

Yes, I did have a cookie for breakfast. I also had some biscotti. Our neighbor made them. She is an amazing baker and it’s no surprise that her baking side-business was profitable very, very quickly.

Still 34F and dark out. I have tea but need a refill. Gotta get writing. Have a great and safe day everyone!

It's been a hectic day here, busy on all fronts and all the while reflecting on painful anniversaries. I'm going to do a bit of writing then head to my toasty warm bed.

Today is my late brother's birthday. He was an amazing person and we will all miss him forever. It was no surprise to us when, as news of his death came out, that dozens of people contacted us with stories about how they'd met him and he'd changed their lives for the better. He made friends, true friends, everywhere he went.

@BenWalker LOL. I'm going to plant 4 lbs of CA wildflower seeds, and the ground needs to to rototilled. But if a rottweiller wanted to help, I would be good with that!

@NorthernInvader Sending you sympathies and a consoling pat on the back.

@quecoopPNW Whew! OR did good.

Also the rototiller arrived today. Probably I can't assemble and try it out until the weekend.

I turned on the electric blanket a while back so now the bed I'm about to get into will be toasty warm.

Be kind to yourself and others!

Here's hoping my rototiller arrives today. I want to plant my wildflower seeds!
