Musical Inclinations
Gas Price: $3.69/gallon
Still windy and chilly today. Frosty morning as predicted. The furnace has been running a lot.
Cherry tree looked ok. Some of the other trees had wilty leaves initially.
Home Depot had the cedar raised bed kits in so Mom and I bought a couple for when we start planting. On the list of things I need to do is figure out how to make something to keep the cats out of our plant beds and containers. It's really annoying when they use them as litter boxes. (There are 20 cats that hang around our place.)
Got rid of recyclables at the rural drop off.
Dreamt of trying to teach the Cutie Mark Crusaders to play music.
Time for bed. *hugs*
Picaresque novels filled several bookcase shelves.

picaresque • \pik-uh-RESK\ • adjective
: of or relating to rogues or rascals; also : of, relating to, suggesting, or being a type of fiction dealing with the episodic adventures of a usually roguish protagonist
Did you know?
"Picaresque" derives from Spanish "picaresco," which means "of or relating to a picaro." The word "picaro," which also derives from Spanish, means "rogue" or "bohemian." "Picaro" describes a type of character that has long been a popular subject for fictional narrative. Typically, the picaresque novel centers around a wandering individual of low standing who happens into a series of adventures among people of various higher classes, often relying on wits and a little dishonesty to get by. The first known novel in this style is Lazarillo de Tormes (circa 1554), an irreverent work about a poor boy who works for a series of masters of dubious character. The novel has been attributed to Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, but his authorship is disputable.
