I am in Anchorage... for medical...
...

hope everything is ok!

i will eat spinach in any form. it helps with the canned stuff to put a little apple cider vinegar on it. i used to take cans of it to work and eat it cold right out of the can. cow-orkers would just shake their heads...

The moo crew seemed to think I fed them late or something. FB told me "your fan club, is waiting for you at the gate moo'ing up a storm". I looked at the clock, it's only 4:30 then I looked outside and the sun was going down already. This is what I saw.

I don't know about all this day light savings business. But I was up before the sun this morning and I honestly, don't see how any daylight was saved. IDK...

Unloaded the feed from truck, fed, watered & inside to eat -- yesterday. Early due to rains coming & dental appt at 9:30, then to work. It finally rained, light at first, heavier overnight.

Home today. Having coffee and will venture out in a while -- once the sprinkles stop. Whatever amount we got is been almost 6 wk with none.

Couple errands in town, only 5 miles. Then home until Tues

I saw a pink blossom on a rhododendron yesterday, and thought to my self, how odd, can it be? do they ? can they bloom twice? but there it was, small, bold not caring winter is beating at the door.

Violets in Late November​

by William Force Stead
To Cicely Trafford, Aged Eleven

Who would expect to see
Violets in late November?
As well might the apple tree
Blossom in dull December.

Things of this nature sound
Really beyond all reason;
For who on the earth has found
Spring in the winter season?

Yet violets come to me,
Even in wintry weather;
You say, But how can it be? —
Well, let us reason together:

Cicely's gentle hand
Sent them; and she is very
Friendly in Fairy-Land,
Loved of every fairy;

She is my dearest friend,
Happy am I to befriend her;
Fairies on her attend,
Wonderful gifts they send her;

Therefore I think you see,
When these things you remember,
How violets come to me,
Even in late November.
