Dreaming of warmer days…

I lay in bed enjoying its warmth and trying to convince myself that I really should crawl out of there and face the day. I kept putting it off until Sandy joined Mikey in pushing me with their noses to get me going. Once up and about, I was all energy, sort of, and we went out to take that first walk. We took the outside lane leading to Hwy 290 and managed to cover 1.1 miles, a very good start to the day. Incidentally, I had to put on long pants plus an extra heavy jacket it was so cold outside for that first walk but it began to warm as the sun rose. 

Back in The Caboose, I brought out the bird feeders filling those that needed it. I tied the dogs up so they could watch as they are absolutely useless as helpers. Then I fixed us all breakfast and managed to get Sandy to eat hers which made it a really good start to the day. Incidentally, the temperature was back to the 50’s as the cold front has moved on although, there is another one forecast for tomorrow. 

Daniel stopped by to look at the water heaters and for some reason, the electrical side was not working again. He is going to contact James, the travelling repair man to find out what he says about it. I have hot water only it is gas heated which makes it more expensive for me plus more work as I have to change out the gas bottle more often. 

I continued to write in the blog bringing it up to date as I looked around for other things to get up to. With it as cold as it is, it is hard to find things to do, especially outside. Back inside the RV, I took care of the normal chores like making the bed and washing dishes, all exciting stuff. We also did a lot of sitting around inside in the warmth of the RV. 

Late afternoon, we went out for another walk and managed to cover almost 2.00 miles for the day. I brought in the feeders for the night and put them on the deck. At least, it keeps the deer from eating all of the seed although by the looks of the spilt seed, something is working on them thru the night. 

Daniel stopped by and looked at the heating system trying to find out why it is not working on the electrical side but with no luck. Something for James to look at. 

We adjourned inside for the day and the warmth of The Caboose. I fed the dogs and Sandy ate hers again, making today a good day from that perspective. I ate mine as well, so I guess that makes me a good boy! The rest of the evening was spent in the usual way.
