39 degrees and cloudy although it appears to be going to clear up for some sunshine. The weather is again north of here and again I don't feel cheated.
Just watching one of the many Red headed pilated woodpeckers plying his talents on a nearby tree. They are one of the largest woodpeckers and birds in north
America and great fun to watch them work. They go from tree to tree making their Brrrrrd sort of sounds and can be held in conversation by a good bird caller
and actually called in with practice. I have gotten them pretty close on the upper road where there is plenty of cover and behind the house near the road.
Got my Son another watch to replace the one he cracked the crystal on in the run in with the bus. He and the daughter are done for Christmas and I do little else for the holiday. Christy (a friends daughter) gave me a real nice hand knitted scarf and I should find something for her. She is a brain tumor survivor and wheel chair bound so I will have a tough time finding something. We never know how lucky we really are till we look around and see how some people are not enjoying as much as we are and how giving they still remain.
I may even take and decorate a little around the house here even though no one ever sees it but me. I hate to shop for the holiday and do everything on the computer but may have to hit a store today or tomorrow. I frankly hate stores and malls anytime of the year but will only go when forced which isn't often. Bah Humbug! Feel much better now thank you! Must be a man thing Octa! I need to get my butt moving here and get some errands done and decide whether I am going to the auction tonight. There is a metal bodied crossbow on the site and I might take a look at it. for jokes I guess! Y'all Be Good! Bill

. I had a great dinner. Sat in the recliner, 'cause no room at the kitchen table.
Just woke up, time to go to bed. I have swept the deck off three times tonight, at least an inch of snow each time. I sure hope it all melts before I get up in
the morning.
