Well, winter is making its presence known with a vengeance. We haven't had a winter like this in a few years. I pray everyone is safe on the roads today.

Today will again be laundry day because all I had yesterday was rusty water. I think that little problem is now fixed. Harold is counting down the hours until the end of the week when he will be semi-retired and will once again be a full-time farmer - which is all he ever really wanted.
***************************************************
I need to get into some kind of routine. I don't function well without one. It's hard to formulate a new routine after 13 years. I have no frame of reference because 13 years ago, we had all four kids living at home and they more or less formed the framework for any kind of routine.

I worked on things for the Maple Syrup festival yesterday. It helps having a focus for which products we will be taking, but there is still a lot of work to do getting that area organized.

Word of the day:
Tuesday of the First Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel
Mk 1:21-28

Jesus came to Capernaum with his followers,
and on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught.
The people were astonished at his teaching,
for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.
In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit;
he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?
Have you come to destroy us?
I know who you are–the Holy One of God!”
Jesus rebuked him and said, “Quiet! Come out of him!”
The unclean spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him.
All were amazed and asked one another,
“What is this?
A new teaching with authority.
He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him.”
His fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee.


God bless our troops!
