1-20-24 SHORT HILLS: It stopped snowing this morning after about 12 hrs of storming that delivered 4-5 inches of white stuff. That’s our biggest storm so far this season. The bigger news is that the temperature is dropping fast and will give us below zero wind chill values tonight. The dogs seem to like the snow, and we took pretty pix this morning. We filled all the feeders, and the birds are mobbing them.
We had dinner with Nancy and Alan a few days ago and with Lynn and Bill yesterday.
Gardner had seen a stuffed moose at Vermont Flannel in Woodstock, VT many months ago, but they wouldn’t sell it. Judy found out that it came from Canada, Stuffed Animal House of New Brunswick. She looked at the tag. It turns out that they only sell wholesale, but Judy turned on the charm, and played the great grandma card and got them to sell her one, when the new shipment came in. It was delayed and delayed again and then shipped, but then the dock strike caused more delay. It finally arrived, and Emmett loves it. Judy sent pix to Stuffed Animal House—they were as pleased as we were.
During the summer a neighbor gave me a sprig from her Christmas Cactus that I potted after it grew roots while in water. It put out some new segments during the fall and [ta-da] has a flower this week.
New blooms: Christmas cactus.
