Yesterday stopped by Rural King and picked up 150lbs of chicken feed. Also got a short rachet strap I needed. While we were there I found a nice warm Carhartt vest in my size. Not many of those around.

Today was more rehab. Things went well and after a doseage change of one of my meds, my blood pressure was high enough to leave as soon as I was done and got checked out. It had been dropping to around 80/60 after working out. Today was 102/62.
 
Woke up early in this hotel room. I'm not used to hearing any sounds. I'll get up soon and shower and kill time until breakfast at 7. After breakfast I'll check out and go the farm/ranch supply store. I need to buy a pair of boots to replace the one the fox ran off with. I'll also check out the guns, ammo and fishing stuff. I'm sure that I'll find something that I "need". Then I'll meet the daughter somplace for lunch and pick up the grandson and head home. Wife said that it's still raining at home. We've never seen this much rain before. It's supposed to rain all day today and all day tomorrow then turn to snow on Monday.
And there’s more on the way. We’ve had more than we’ve seen in ages.

Very bad day today. I ended up driving all day because hubby said one of the dogs wouldn't take a treat and was acting funny early this morning. He passed before I got home. That was a major shock. The other three are fine, but gosh that was fast and unexpected.
I AM SO SORRY!! Hope the others are ok!! Wonder what happened?? 💗💗💗
 
Spreading salt on the frozen rain on the front walk and out to the cars....We must be getting that pacific storm. Highly unusual to have freezing rain around here. Snow and cold is the norm.
Luckily we have a lot of buried power lines and the majority of the trees are evergreens that shed snow and frozen rain...So shouldn't be any power outages but my o my the drivers out there are scary.

Just got home a few minutes ago. It started raining about 75 miles north of home. There were a lot of boulders on the road in places. Most of our snow is gone here at home.
 
The Atmospheric River !!
I guess that's what the weather "experts" are calling it. I'm just glad to see any moisture. About a week ago I checked our weather station and it said that we had just over 10 inches of moisture for the year. Thats 1/3 of what we should have. Maybe we'll start catching up now.
 
Our weather is looking pretty mild this weekend, probably won't even do a fire. But come Monday....looks like the cold weather really starts.
Regular chores and also cleaning the downstairs and extra cooking today. Friends from New Mexico are coming in late afternoon, and will be staying till Tuesday.
