The 12th Day 1-9
Time to take down the decorations, all of them, one last Christmas cookie, and a last piece of fudge. It’s going to be a long time to Fat Tuesday maybe it’s time to step up that physical fitness program

So out with the old tree and sweep up the pine needles. Here we go into the real dog days. the heart of winter. Actually it’s not to bad around here that is if we get some of Colorado’s snow. This year has been the topper. I mean flowers blooming in Washington and 2 inches of rain here December 30th?

My snowplow is dying of neglect and there isn’t enough snow cover to cross country ski. This 12th day isn’t a blue one, it’s brown. The only good thing is that the gas meter isn’t turning at it’s normal rapid pace.

But this is the 6th year of mild weather and our winter resort business in taking it in the rear.
So much of slay rides, down hill skiing, ice skating and all the normal winter stuff.
Time for sun block 40 and a walk along our frozen beach.

Thought for the day, "Self reliance is taught by those in need of help."
