Coffee

[Marie2020]

Now I have an image of Steve showering in his PJ’s……

Coffee is ready, going for my second cup.

Maybe Steve is my long lost twin.

We are definitely a part of the PJ brigade

Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up like every two hours?

It has rained so much! By yesterday afternoon my road in front of the farm was flooded. I saw a neighbor that lives past me drive through it, kicking up rooster tails of water. Hope it’s drained off this morning.
On my second cup of coffee. Still dark outside. I’ll feed Spot the bottle lamb and the rest of the sheep before church.

It has rained a lot here thru a few days of PNW wind storms that the southwest pasture has a pond forming.

It has been raining most every day here for over a week with a wind storm thrown in here or there!

There have been back to back storms coming in from the Pacific Ocean . The costal communities have been flooded in some areas and roads washed out. So far we have been lucky and not had the road washed out down stream. Stay safe and warm my friend.

Southern Oregon has been hit hard. Jackson and Josephine counties were posting flooding and some snow. Nuthing but rain and wind up here, near Portland.

 

[Shades-of-Oregon]

Same here windy and rainy. We have had 60mph wind gusts. The ground is so saturated the wind knocked over a
tree I need to finish cleaning up when the rains stops. Even the pasture is so saturated from the rain a small pond is forming .

A Happy New Year breakfast: oolong with orange zest (Christmas treat from DD), Grape Nut Flakes with the baked apple & raisins on the bottom of the bowl and a banana on top.

Looking outside, it doesn't seem like January One –– only just below freezing and the promised snowstorm hasn't quite started enough to cover the ground. That looks like it may be the extent of it from the radar map, just covering the ground. By Friday, the forecast is for more going on but it will also be warm enough that rain & melting will be in the story.

@SPedigrees was asking about general living resolutions for 2025 and said that books will play a more important part of her time. DS bought me a subscription to National Geographic for the year. That magazine used to have an important role with Mom providing it for me, year after year and then I took it over in the '90's for about 20 years. Events ... changes ... but it will be back! DS has his subscription and has enjoyed it. And, I'm interested in this new "history" edition that will also be coming.

Try to get back close to that 3 servings of fruit every morning resolution. I recently noticed that I drifted off of that as Winter began and the great abundance of fruit available in the market became not so novel. No time to rely on starches, starches, sugar, sugar ... It is difficult to do the 3 servings for breakfast without excluding everything else but I can come close. Veggies play a large role in lunch and dinner but I can and do enjoy the fruit for breakfast. Don't we all?
