It is cold out today.

I am glad that I went and purchased some “deer corn” and birdseed the other day; I can’t imagine having to forage around in this bitter wind to look for food. I guess there is also a silver lining to my not taking care of all the stalks of “weeds” et all in our fallow gardens…. as now there is extra seed and leaves to be had.

Today is the OPEN HOUSE even for our local “Christmas House” organization. They provide assistance with heating bills, etc to the needy in the area; as well as gifting toys, clothes and household items to folks during the holidays. For the past couple of years I have made crocheted scarves and donated them. See photo below for this year’s stash of goodies :)
