My favorite day of the week

The best quote I've heard in the past few weeks was from Liz, "every day is significant".  Based on that it is safe to say, today is my favorite day of the week.   Enjoying coffee, browsing on the computer, watching lovely flakes of snow drifting softly just outside my windows.  A squirrel is eating sunflower seeds from below the feeder.  Need to get that filled so the birds can enjoy their breakfast.

Participated in the Great Backyard Bird Count sponsored by Audubon and Cornell Labs.  I enjoy our feathered friends, the day I counted saw the normal backyard visitors - chickadees, blue jays, house sparrows, redpoll, cardinals,  Within the next few days after the count also heard a barred owl, saw an eagle, red tailed hawk, juncos, gold finches (or are they pine siskins?!).   Wonder if I could make a living watching birds?

The birding job would need to pay well as this has been an expensive week - water quit working on Thursday morning.  Called Aune Well Company and he came within the hour.  By the time he left we had a new submersible pump, control cable, pressure switch and my bank account was lightened by $1200.   The same day Bill stopped at P.M. Bedroom Gallery and ordered a Cooper Sleigh headboard with a foundation drawer unit, and a new queen sized Sebastian mattress.  It will take five weeks to be made at a spot just south of Eau Claire.  After 31 years of just a mattress and box spring on a metal frame, this will be a delight.   Warranty - 267 years!    Who will get that when I'm ready to downsize?

Megan is home.  David picked her up after work yesterday and I'll take her back tomorrow for her to be at work at 8:00 a.m.   We'll grocery shop this morning, and want to check if Treasures from the Heart has any coats, stop at Karma Gifts.   She wants to bake and take treats back to her roommates.  We have tickets to see the play, Almost Maine at UWRF this evening so called the box office and had them set aside an extra ticket for Megan.  Gene and Susan Frederickson will meet us at Mariachi Loco at 5:30.  It will be good for Megan to meet Susan as she is an occupational therapist.

David should be getting up soon for work, will make an omelet and pack him a lunch.   Moose wants another walk.
