Morning all. January thaw is over and Winter back. But it was a nice break. Three straight days of beautiful sunny Weather with temps in 30’s and one day in 40’s. Had about an inch of snow over night on Saturday into yesterday morning and probably a couple last night. But Winter weather advisory in effect. 5-7 inches expected sone areas maybe a bit more. Be a good day to stay in and putter with stuff.
Barbie, those gourd shards and the inked gourd are beautiful. You have the talent for that work, no doubt about it. Carol, that pillow is really pretty. Hope all goes well with Bill’s urgery.
Got a laugh out of Groundhog vs Chickens. Good one Evie. Chickens here are just beginning to start laying again. Same old cycle every year. Anne, egg prices are up here too.anywhere from $4.99 to $8.49. But the higher priced ones are 2-2 1/2 dozen cartons. No restrictions, but people aren’t grabbing them up either. Not that many shoppers this time of year as the snowbirds are gone and summer season is a few months away. Then we start competing with people up on vacation, heading for campgrounds, using their second homes more etc. and putting pressure on the store stocks. Egg prices are expected to go up and stay up most of this year until producers can recover and get a healthy bird stock established again.
And now we have tariffs to deal with, but time will tell how it all plays out. We here in Michigan stand to get hit hard. The auto industry of course is based here. But Canada provides 95% of propane needs to the U.P. And 88% of our electricity. New York and I think it was MN also get electricity from Canada. But maybe tariffs doesn’t include that. I read about that water release in CA too and couldn’t figure out what purpose it was going to accomplish since it wasn’t going south to L.A. Waste of precious water. Interesting times ahead.
See Thry are going to start lifting the wreckage out of the Potomac today. There are still 12 bodies unaccounted for, but they hope to find them once the wreckage is lifted out. Getting those bodies out had to be traumatic for those divers gong into that wreckage.
So, guess I shall get this day moving. Just finished up a breakfast of French toast and sausage. Going to run vac and then get in my office and put office supplies back in their drawers and run off a couple things I need for taxes. Just waiting on last two 1099’s and then will get taxes done. I don’t like waiting until the last minute. Then will work in my DP for awhile.
