Weather Report: El Niño Rules




Single digits, high winds, and sweater weather; all in a few days.

Shoutout to Marge: Your Koi pond did freeze over in a sort of nubbley way (wind churned freezing water maybe), and a 1.5 x 2.5 foot area stayed ice-free. Koi were discernible on bottom as melting took place.

By midday yesterday it was warm. Toby was basking in the sun down by the barn when I picked up Keoni. I had a nice visit with Toby for a few minutes and gave him some warm goat milk. His coat is so thick I can't get to his skin.

Yesterday, was extra nice for me. Keoni and I spent some time over a lunch at Jesse's BBQ joint in Telford. I enjoyed hearing about his NYC adventures with three of his good friends. He had pictures to illustrate their exuberant doings and enjoyments. Makes me smile just thinking about what fun youth can be. He came to Marge's with me so he could see the results of The Last Supper effort I've been wrapped up in for too long. A great boost to me since I've been agonizing more than a little on the subject as you already know.

Shoutout to Carol: Thanks. It wouldn't be completed, nor as happily so without your input.




For 30,000 years
people have pounded
grain into flour.

Leavened and unleavened
bread is known over
our populated earth.

Gospel stories say
Jesus broke a loaf of bread
and gave it to his disciples.

He said,“This is my body
given for you.
Do this in remembrance of me.”

For 2,000 years
we have been doing this
and we still remember.
