Not wildly productive today, although we did have an exciting trip to the True Value store. Ron needed a battery. I browsed. I found – MUCHO excitement here – half gallon jars. I am the owner of some, now down to five of them. Very perfect for storing soup or red stuff etc in the frig or for storing a lot of flour or sugar etc. I hadn’t seen them in eons, had thought about this recently, and now here they were. And 6 cost about the same as a dozen quart jars. Go figure. It’s like Mason/Ball charges by volume rather than type or size. And these are wide mouthed jars. Can you tell I bought both boxes they had out? Yes, I’m a happy camper.
I also got two new bird feeders. Hopefully the birdies will return tomorrow.
Tonight I made some spicy lentil soup with rice – sort of a tomato-y base. And I made a double batch of ginger snaps.
Tomorrow – a small sign up sheet that starts off:

From the very first, when browsers were new, I have enjoyed the true essence of web-surfing. Going from one page to another to another to another via the links on each page. From recipes to physics to high school social pressure to 12 step to crafts to new babies to old cars. It’s all out there and if you’re lucky you can find it in one long continuous string of links.
With that in mind — found on another’s web site, this link.

Be prepared to spend hours. Use your mouse pointer idly and with purpose. And whatever you do, don’t miss this part of it:.
Keep the light on.
Sleighbells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening…
A beautiful sight
we’re happy tonight
walking in a winter wonderland……
It’s SNOWING! YEAH – first of the year that’s amounting to more than a few flakes. Just looked outside and everything is covered with snow. Wonder how much there will be in the morning???? Off to bed now.
Oh the weather outside is frightful
but the fire is so delightful.
And since we’ve no place to go……
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.
