I feel like I’m back living in New England. It is cold and it was snowing when I woke up. It has been cloudy for days. A little sun came out this afternoon. I took my movies back to the library and got some new ones. I took Danny with me and since it was near noon, I parked at the little park in town and walked him around town. The marina was frozen except near the floating docks where they had some kind of bubble machine making bubbles in the dock area. The canal is tidal so the docks make get frozen and when the tide changes, it could damage the docks and the boats. There were not many boats but there were a few.
We proceeded over to the canal. There were chunks of ice floating eastward. They were moving fast. If I were in a canoe, I wouldn’t have had to paddle. The current would have zipped me along and I wouldn’t have had to paddle. I didn’t have my camera with me or I would have taken pictures. I have to return my movies tomorrow so maybe I can get some shots then.
Things in town were pretty much closed. The general store was open and the café but not much else. It is basically a summer tourist town. The post office, library, and bank are not in town, they are just outside on the west side of town. I live on the east side.
I don’t seem to get much done in this weather. When I take Danny out, it just seems to zap the energy out of me. I did try to fix the weather striping on the door but it seems the door is too small for the frame. I need some fatter weather strip or may have to put some moldings around the door and make it like the back door.
I could have put up the brackets for my curtain rods but I didn’t have the energy to do that. I curled up with my blanket and my dog and watched my movies.
I put away some of the Christmas linens and threw some in the laundry basket. I will take the trees down the next time I come. I enjoy seeing the lights. Today is the Epiphany so it’s the last day of Christmas. When I get back to Vineland, I’ll have to take the tree down there. I don’t have too much up in either place. I leave the candles in the windows for awhile. I will have to separate my decorations into groups. Anything that a mouse might eat, I’ll have to store in here. Glass ornaments can go out in the shed. I had two wreaths stored in my garage. One was made of yarn and the other hemp string. A mouse had shredded the tail of the hemp. It looked like fine wool. A little of the yarn wreath was chewed off but it was not noticeable.
Danny has been taken out so we are both ready to curl into bed. I’ll do some reading and then get some sleep.
