Wow it was cold this morning. Below 25 and colder in some places. Me I don't own a thermometer and then you don't really know how cold it is out.

Decided to take a break and write on this. Have been cleaning and fixing up the house. I am such a pack rat and why I don't know. I started on my bedroom today. Need to get things straightened up as the carpenters are suppose to be here in a couple of weeks to put in the new doors and windows. Hopefully before they get here it will warm up. I would love to see some more 50 above weather.

I will finish the bedroom tomorrow I hope. Have to move some of the furniture around that is the hardest part. Not too much left to clean until I open up the hidey hole in the wall. I have been stuffing stuff in that for 20 or so years and have never completely emptied it so that will be a project. Might find some interesting stuff in there. Or maybe just a bunch of junk I should of threw in the first place.

Got the new bike home now just waiting for some nice weather. Spring can't come to soon to suit me.

Decided as long as it was cold out I took out some chicken and will make chicken and homemade noodle soup tomorrow.

I've really been having troubles figuring out what to cook lately. Nothing seems good to me. I did make ribs and saurkraut last week. Haven't had that for quite a while so that was pretty good.

Hope all of you are having a good winter.

Bullhead feed is going to be on April 2 from 4 to 7 at the Community Center. We have extra cookers this year so hopefully we will get people filled up on fish before they get tired of waiting.
Hope to see you there.

Well nothing else to say.

Take care,
Julie

Hump day

Well today is hump day. Thank goodness means only have 2 more days of bus driving this week and then a long weekend. We get Monday and Tuesday off. Hopefully I will get the shelves finished in my laundry room. It would be great if I got the ceiling light moved to the middle of the room also.

I am going to run to the cities on Saturday and pick up my new motorcycle. I know I can't ride it yet but I can go to the garage and look at it anyway.

The snowmobile trip to Lake Kabetogama was fun. It was one long day on Saturday but it was a nice ride. However, 250 miles in one day is too much for this ole girl. I told Art the next time we go on a trip I am going to pull my snowmobile on a trailer and meet them and then do some riding. I am still tired today.

The weather has been great the last couple of days. The snow is just about off the roof just in time for some more snow on Friday and colder weather. Today was over 50 above. Wish it would keep on.

I didn't get out into the nice weather too much today as I started making soap. I made 6 batches today and have that many ready to make tomorrow. Before you know it Evy will be opening the flea market. I even got part of my soap room cleaned. Hopefully tomorrow when I am done with the soap I can clean the rest of it.

Not much going on around Squaw Lake that I know of. Of course a person would have to go out to find out anything and outside of doing my bus run the last 2 days I haven't been out.

The grouse are starting to come out onto the edge of the roads. I saw 4 today. I saw an eagle today also but haven't seen or heard any geese or swans yet.

I even had lovely skunk smell in my yard last Friday night. The next day I smelled skunk around the corner and on Monday I smelled skunk out more toward the highway. I hope he just kept going so that the dog doesn't get into it. I'm afraid if she gets in to it she will be kicked out to the dog house.

Quite a bit of the snow has disappeared in the yard with this thaw. Not enough but the banks are somewhat lower.

Well I don't have anything else to say tonight. Hope you all have a good week.

Take care,
Julie
