Field Notes- A Very Cold Cloudy Day in January. Winter finally here.

 This is very much like what will be happening down the street if the Twins Dad ever gets the Hockey Rink filled with water and it freezes solid.  He has even wrapped all the tall trees in his yard with lights. I saw this image on a "free" site and had to have it here. There are squirrels in the image and they tend to chew thru the light wires "in real Life down the street".

Today is finally Winter.  Depressingly dark and cold.

I missed seeing and hearing Jeffries' Alphabet Speech.  I read it in the morning paper and cut it out to include on my January Page.  It was inspiring and strong.  Like him, I think.  He would have been an excellent Speaker of the House.  Fingers crossed the "one" calls for Kevin's resignation. Soon.

I am really really perplexed by the Republican stand on abortion.  Hardly any of the new crop of hot heads has a family. They might have a wife.  But they also have a girlfriend.  Or pay someone for sex.  It's the Republican way and has been since I was first paying attention.  So Reproductive Rights should be their fall back position.  It isn't.  I wish they asked a professional to examine this issue.  Trump was against women's rights but spent time with  "Professional Sex Workers" like Stormy Daniels while married.  Would any of the Republican gamers want a child from those relationships???  Some even have been involved with teenaged girls. Like Gaetz.  Sex Trafficking. Young Girls. Like Trading Cards.

Anyway......nothing I can do about it.  I used my one vote wisely here in Maine.  All I can do.

I need to start a fresh pot of Chicken Soup.  One load of laundry in the dryer.  Then I fold and put away. I was nearly out of underwear.......can't have that.  Finishing off my twice reheated coffee.  Then what??? I do have dishes to wash.  That's about it for today- Thursday.  What are you all doing???? Joanne.
