national radar shows very little going on anywhere. A quiet Monday.

good morning all. One of my closest friends sent me this note attached, left at the small church where the pastor, who just passed away, ran the local food pantry up in the area I grew up in, and lived in most of my life. Many times I hauled baskets of food out of that church taking them to mostly single women with kids in our area, at holidays. Lot of hams and turkeys and potatoes. Those boxes were heavy.
My close friend and fellow church member was a prime mover for the food pantry, I was just a volunteer delivery boy.
He and I have always felt making connections with folks is often best when they are hungry and you give them food.
Which is why I do what I do now.

The area in Bucks County PA and specifically my old home town of New Hope PA was very gay tolerant. Helped by very high educational level of locals, and in some ways I think due to many hundreds of years of a certain faith's influence on the general karma of the area, promoting personal freedom and equality. I was told at one point half of my home town was gay/LBGT.

When I was fourteen years old working in the local French restaurant, biggest one in town, 90+ percent of the workers were gay. I was treated wonderfully, yeah goosed a few times but it was in fun. They protected me actually, looked out after me, fully accepted that I was straight. Our town had an awful lot of female impersonation contests.
Just part of the local flavor, the folks outside of town like us just ignored it. County theater was in our little town, that's what originally attracted the gays out of NYC to come for the weekend. Our little town got some top Broadway performers, so I grew up watching a fair number of plays.
The movie theatre was much better...

So this guy who I may have known, who knows, says he grew up there and saw that LBGT flag as a beacon of hope.
May we all give others some hope for a better life.

New Hope, PA is one of the hidden jewels of America. Beautiful countryside and town. Many fond memories of dating my wife there in the late 70's.

Three years ago we bought a 13 acre property adjacent to ours with an old barn on it. There is an old horse drawn hay rake in it with wooden wheels. Haven't looked lately, but I guess it's still in there.

Here it is, can you figure out what it is? I can't. Those paddles should be a clue.

Good evening all. 34F this morning, overcast, calm wind. Wind stayed light, overcast broke up early afternoon, and high temp was 44F. Choir practice this morning, followed by chimney sweep actually showed, lot more "stuff in the lower flue than I expected. after lunch into town to run errands. Got back too late to walk dog (back to dog sitting for the week).
Don still can't tell but not that familiar with the older implements. Or should I call you soon to be tractor Daddy :thumbsup:
PJ I laughed so hard at the plowing in PJs, the dog started barking
RIp, safe and fruitful trip to NYC.
RNG hope you had success with gate opener and satellite dish. Sounds like the power pole hole was a challenge.
prayers for all.

22 and the high might be 27°F. Wind NNE 11 gusting to 17 mph.
It was forecast for periods of snow overnight.....Didn't happen here. 30% chance of flurries today.

I gotta take the DIL to town for blood work at 11. I also have a package at the local Purolator drop spot to grab.

Other than the town run today is an energy conservation day.

Have a good day all

22 going to 43.

Roads are mostly clear now but think black ice in spots where the snow melted yesterday but didn't completely dry.

Dentist confirmed that a molar that's been bad since it came in when I was a kid will finally need a root canal, Thursday.

Don, that piece of equipment is mainly a reminder of how much harder farmers used to have to work to make a living...they still work hard, but at least modern equipment helps.

A winter morning to rival the best of what summer has to offer.
It was well worth taking a few minutes longer over my daily tasks to sit down on a bale of hay and do - absolutely nothing.
