Good morning, Mel! Good morning, Jeanette! Merry Christmas! I didn't wake up till 8 this morning, lol. I got right busy and put the roast in the crockpot so I expect it will be done by around 3 - 4 p.m. Edward cooked a couple of cups of jalapenos into rock candy yesterday. That's tasty, but he was disappointed it's hard rock candy. We're going to try baking some jalapeno poppers today or tomorrow. We're getting outside and doing some minor yard cleanup this afternoon. Hope you each and all have a blessed and happy day today!

It's amazing how keen these dogs noses are! The minute the box of canned dog food was brought into the house, Leela was smelling all over it. When I opened it up, each case of dog food was shrink wrapped in heavy plastic, but Franny acted like she could smell the contents. There's no getting anything past 'most' dogs. There were 3 squirrels running around in the neighbors' backyard cottonwood trees this morning, across the greenbelt from our house. Franny & Leela kept an eye on them, but they knew they were playing up high, and not likely to come over here. Leela wanted me to stay outside, but I told her I needed to come in & fix breakfast. I'm going back outside in a little bit to pick up small limbs off the pecan tree so she'll be happy then.

Good evening & it’s 65 degrees here at 6:10 pm
We’re headed home from DD#3’s home. We had an impromptu lunch there, visited & then went to a movie, “Sing 2” , with them. The movie was entertaining.

Hello! It's 65 degrees at 6:10 here too - that's interesting. I need to open up the Rand-McNally Road Atlas & see approximately where you are, Jeanette, compared to where I am ... and you too, Mel, because sometimes, the weather is so similar that I wonder if we're at about the same latitude. Our Christmas dinner was delicious. I enjoyed it all except I wasn't crazy about the sweet potato casserole. I don't know - I may just open a can of sweet potatoes next time. I'm wondering if the lack of marshmallows on top is why I haven't found a recipe that suits me. I rarely eat marshmallows, and I know 'gelatin' is a weird ingredient altogether, but I like them in small amounts. I hope you've all had a great day! The weather feels odd this afternoon & early evening. We had a beautiful sunny day until maybe 2 o'clock. The sky clouded up, but it's dusty dry at the human person-walking-around level, and there has been no wind at all. The temperature got up to at least the mid-70s, but I don't know if we made it to 77, and so broke the old high temperature record. The local news & weather weren't on at 6 because of basketball. I'll watch at 10 o'clock tonight & see what they have to say about the weather.

Good morning! Happy Boxing Day. It's already in the low 60s & sunny.
Hard to believe but we're on the downhill slide to the end of the year.
Hope you all have a blessed Sunday.

The temperature here got up to around 60 for a little while this afternoon, but now it is down to 35, and tomorrow is not expected to be much above 30 all day with a mix of rain, snow, and ice forecast for most of the day.
No major accumulations are expected, but the roads are likely to be a slippery mess.

It was another gloomy, smothering-type, day but we did set a new record high at 82 degrees. It's still 70 now at 10 pm, but only supposed to reach the high 60s tomorrow afternoon. It's been a peaceful day around here. I took a 90-min nap this afternoon and loved every minute of it. After not sleeping well last night, thanks to the sweet potatoes , I thought I deserved it. I did some research and sweet potatoes are on the 'Avoid' list for blood type A people (me). I so rarely eat them, and they didn't used to bother me, but I find if I don't eat a food on the avoid list for a long time, and then I eat it, it's liable to knock me for a loop. We did change the outside light bulb on the front porch light, and the back patio light. They'd each burned out in the past week. Edward couldn't remember ever changing that back patio light bulb in the 19 years we've lived here. It's real quirky - wouldn't come on if it was too wet, too cold, or too hot. There's some kind of a sensor on that light fixture, and it must have a function, but we've never seen anything like it. We do have a nice light to see when walking the backyard after dark now. That squirrel video is something else. That guy put a lot of work into building that maze and producing that video. Looks like he had a lot of fun with it too. Hope y'all have a great rest of your night - I'm heading to bed, hopefully for a good night's sleep.

Good morning ☀️ it’s 46 degrees here at almost 8 am.
Mel, the grands really enjoy the YouTube videos that Mark Rober puts out especially the squirrel maze’s!
Barb, I didn’t know about blood types & foods to avoid! I’m type O+ and sweet potatoes are supposed to be a healthier choice than regular potatoes, but yeah … interesting to find out! My friend from high school says I’m food allergic or sensitive to mostly all the healthy veggies etc! lol
