RAIN IS BETTER THAN ICE
We had .4" in the rain guage by noon and this morning the grass was covered with ice. A little later in the morning we had some ice form on the trees but the temperature was 34. It got all the way up to 40 this afternoon with no sunshine. I have used up over one-half of my firewood but we have been cozy.

Lou is still fighting severe back pains. She dug out a couple of the old back braces and they help a little. The pain pills give some relief. Dr. Siadati's office called and at their request I had the MRI film overnight delivered to his office so that he can look at them Monday to prepare for the Wednesday surgery that they said would be a little later than 10:45, but that was totally expected. We have never gotten in at the scheduled time. Lou says she hopes it isn't as late as midnight like last time. At least it looks like the weather will clear up for the drive to Fort Worth.

The albino skunk hasn't come back but we have had hundreds of gold finch eating the sun flower seeds and today they delighted in bathing in the shallow water on the edge of the patio. Their bird baths are still frozen.
