I went out into the cold cruel world today. I went into my shed, took out the mower and everything that was in the way of my Christmas Stuff. The place reeked of stink bugs. I thought they were dead but I guess they were hibernating. When I started brushing them away, they started moving. I either stepped on some or put boxes on some that squished them as they gave off an odor. It's a weird odor, sort of like moth balls but not quite.
The bugs had crawled into the cardboard boxes and I have to empty the contents outside and brush out the bugs. I hope I didn't bring any in. They are gross.
I put a wreath on my fence and a string of icicle lights. They are the long ones so I'm going to switch them out with the shorter hanging ones. The longs ones will go on the rooftop in the front. I found a set of little white lighted trees the the former owner had left. I'll put them out in the front of the house. I was amazed that they worked. I was working hard bringing the things out that I lost track of time and realized it must be lunch time. I went in to look at the clock and saw it was 12:30. I hurried to bring them plastic containers in and then took Danny for his walk. One of my neighbors has been laid off from his job so we see him often when we are out walking. Danny likes to greet people he knows and likes. He is always happy to see the man and the man is happy to see him.
It was 22 degrees this morning and barely made it above 30; it may have been 30.5. It was cold working out there and cold on our walks. Danny doesn't seem to mind the cold; he has his parka on. He likes to cuddle up with me when we get in.
