2532. arkymalarky - 1/23/2005 7:38:11 AM Great pictures, Wonk! 2533. judithathome - 1/23/2005 5:59:48 PM I love the Christmas tree...that would make an excellent card! 2534. arkymalarky - 1/23/2005 7:40:33 PM Bob just brought me jonquils from his walk. 2535. wonkers2 - 1/23/2005 9:10:52 PM That's a good sign! 2536. judithathome - 1/23/2005 10:00:41 PM RIP: Johnny Carson 2537. angel-five - 1/23/2005 10:19:23 PM Oh, man. That really makes me sad.
That guy could get more laughs by raising his eyebrow than anyone doing a late show now could get with their whole monologue. I was just thinking of him the other day and how much I missed watching Johnny Carson. 2538. judithathome - 1/23/2005 10:43:39 PM I put that in the wrong thread...ah well, at least you saw it and said something really nice about him, A5. 2539. Ronski - 1/24/2005 1:49:21 AM This blizzard was something of a bust, after all. In the six years we've been here, we've had four or five storms with more snow and more wind.
Still, there's a lot of snow around, maybe 14 inches, it's blowing like hell now (though not snowing: we had a sunny afternoon, beautiful!), and the temperature is about eight F. and dropping of course. 2540. Ronski - 1/24/2005 2:10:18 AM It's still snowing on Cape Cod. I wonder how much they got. 2541. wonkers2 - 1/24/2005 2:36:48 AM We got 12 1/4 inches in Detroit. I had to hire somebody to shovel the snow off flat parts of my roof to avoid leads when the snow melts. The building code on roofs is inadequate for Michigan winters in my opinion. 2542. wabbit - 1/24/2005 7:16:59 AM We got about 14" too. My parents live south of Boston, about halfway between Boston and the Cape, and said they got about 30". 2543. wonkers2 - 1/24/2005 1:37:34 PM Wow. 30 inches is a killer. 2544. PelleNilsson - 1/24/2005 3:27:30 PM I remember, wonkers, that your grandfather, or was it great-grandfather?, was from Söderhamn. The next couple of months I'm going to spend some time at the National Archives and if you want I could try to find out more about your ancestors from the church records. It will not at all be a burden because I will have spare time while documents are brought up from the vaults and the church records are easily available om microfiche (thanks to the Mormons!) 2545. thoughtful - 1/24/2005 3:33:34 PM Nice pics wonks!
We gave up on trying squirrel-proof feeders. Our solution is to make the feeders inconvenient then put enough food on the ground so they won't bother the feeders. Seems to work.
Interesting yesterday as, before we got to shovel the snow and place the seeds, the squirrels were digging down in the snow to find the seeds...soon as the squirrel left, the birds headed in.
