Terminix closed early and one of the office girls kindly dropped me off at home. I was able to call CatLord and tell him he wouldn't have to come get me when he's done at work. (Normally his getting off at 5:30 and me at 6:00 works well with just the one car, but this storm has made driving rather horrid). So here I am hoping he makes it home alright.
I'll have to refill the bird's dish out on the porch in the morning, as even with the snow still falling, the sparrows and junkos are flitting in and out to pick and peck their seed. Something larger -- jays or mourning doves -- has also been by, as most of the snow has been brushed off the dish.
So this is our winter. Bah. I'm too old to play in it and not old enough to stay home out of it. But since it's February, hopefully there won't be much more of it (Are you listening, Mama?) And hopefully everyone else here on the US East Coast will manage to weather this storm safely. Is everyone okay?
Also, here's a link to the World Wildlife Fund's Valentines Day ecards. There a bit different than the usual hearts and flowers
