Right!! LOL It's been about 6 or 7 years since the flock has been around. Back then, they would perch on top of my folks house...before they bought it. I've been hearing them off to the east over the last several months...but it's just been lately they've made it back over to our yard. I've had a bunch of hens hanging out in the front yard...but could never get a good picture to post.

Pretty bird. We have a lot of cardinals, but that's about as fancy as I see here. (It's the state bird.)

Got to work one night, note in foreman's daily log called in by one of the crew: "Will be late, roads bad." Phone call a little later: "Car in ditch, tow truck on the way." Later yet: "probably won't make it in, tow truck in the ditch too."

There is a tow ban for many areas in Wisconsin right now. That is something relatively new, that started a few years ago. First time there has been one for the county I live in.
A tow ban means that all tow services are suspended unless requested by emergency personnel. In other words, if your car slides into a ditch and isn't an immediate hazard to other motorists, it will have to remain in the ditch until conditions improve and the tow ban is lifted.

An hour ago the temperature was 1 below...it's now 7 below. Amazing the drop since the sun went down! ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230224/8e78ace8a965b340a8d0791ee104a705.jpg)

Earlier this week my employer broke her mug at work. Told her I would make a new one for her. She always looses her beer and likes to have something different than what we regularly use. She also prefers beverage glasses that are smaller than 16 ounces. Am bringing this in today for her. The reflections make it look a little wonky in the photo. ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/fernwood/image/upload/v1677234204/gl3udqaphmny0mjs1fqk.jpg)

The Loropetalum is beginning to bloom. In a couple days hardly any green leaf will show. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/HkkvyPTn/Loropetalum.jpg)

Just about healed up now. At my age I have to keep from bumping things because it will leave a mark if I do. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadetree_mechanic

Bravura Cabochon Designs Be careful not to lose those white dogs in all that snow. I had to say it. A good friend of mine lost her small white dog yesterday. Betty had to go outside. When she didn't come back to the door after 15 minutes my friend went looking. She called and called. Walked through 3' snow drifts. Finally found Betty stuck in a large snow drift in the driveway. Poor Betty. She climbed in my friends jacket for the walk back to the house.

RickB. Our California loropetalums are in bloom, too. It’s a lovely bush all year, but especially when blooming.
