This photo was taken mid-afternoon yesterday but they now have 70 inches of snow on the ground with 24 more inches forecast for today!
This puts it all into perspective, doesn't it? By this weekend, the snow is forecast to be melted! (Personally, I'd just hibernate until the weekend and not worry about shoveling.) Yikes!
The wildlife suffers ... they can't move, are literally buried in snow and unable to eat. (Last year, the Northeastern USA lost many deer to heavy snowfall.)
So, with that said, do we have global warming? Or, is it just cyclical? Whatever your belief, deer and other wildlife need to migrate south for the winter!
Meantime, in Central Florida, Mark went deer hunting this morning! Somehow, it just doesn't seem right, does it? Yes, transport herds of whitetail here ...
Today, I'm going to lunch in downtown Eustis with my neighborhood ladies. Ruthann sold her home, (her husband died five years ago) and is moving to Ohio to be near family. I wonder if she's ready to reconsider. Ha ha!
Lunch at 1884 was very good. There were three large groups so service was a little slow, but the food was good. Ruthann was presented with a care package for moving north; a scarf, hat, gloves and a sweater! We all had a good time and caught up on each other's news.
Meantime, Mark met with the boat mechanic and, after changing the plugs and installing a new fuel filter, it runs like new! $137 invested ... a bargain!
Dr. Wells called with the new protocol for Maggie's treatment. It will take a few days for the new medication to be ordered so Monday is the next treatment. This series of chemotherapy will take place over a six-month period. We are hopeful for a complete remission!
Dr. Mike Henson from the University of Minnesota spent an hour on the phone with Dr. Wells explaining the protocol, the two drug series and timeframe needed between treatment. Monday, Maggie needs to be monitored for a possible anaphylactic response to the first drug, so must be there all day!
After dinner, we met Randy and Dawn for bowling! It was lots of laughs, as it always is ... but no high scores tonight!
Hope your hump day was good.
