Daily Notes- January 17


You thought you'd see a real photo from me today.  Nope.  My iPhone isn't doing email.  Not going out and not coming in.  This is what my backyard sort of looks like.  Frozen.  Everything has been treated to repeated freeze/melt and is hard crusted. Shiny with ice.

And that's all I am saying about that.  I can make a phone call--I think--haven't tried--who would I call? What would I say---"send help"?

Anyway.

I did a load of wash and it's now in the drier.  Breakfast dishes are washed and put away.  The dog is out on his daily walk in the woods.  The cold sun is shining. The government is still shut down.  I read in the newspaper that Postal workers aren't getting paid but still have to deliver the mail. I don't know if that's true.  We are definitely going to have a proper lunch and supper today.

The spinning ice circle (big as a football field) has stopped spinning here in Maine.  Counter clockwise.  It was a big deal on BBC and a few other networks.  A few ducks were perched on the edges and were spinning slowly along with the circle.  The circle is lodged against one bank and seems to be stuck there. The thinking is that now that it is stuck, it will melt.  It was like a"crop circle".  Mythical.  Strange and wonder-filled.  And now it's stuck and can't spin.

Nope, not true on the postal workers, they are their own entity now, not part of Federal government.They are getting paid. Sorry about your phone woes.
