While it’s nice not to have to bundle up so vigorously when going somewhere, Niilo & Joan have not been as excited about the warm spell as you might expect: The -38 weather did not stop them from going bowling or to the library or to Quaker Meeting, despite the soupy ice fog. Luckily, no vehicular problems!
Weatherization work continues on the house. Grouse and moose have been close to the house occasionally. Mom has been able to harvest basil from her indoor mini-garden.
Niilo is recovering from a bout of bronchitis and putts around in his wheelchair in the evening. He and Mom enjoy watching movies together, even if his head sometimes droops.
It has been a treat to get cards and letters. We read them out loud for Niilo.
Thanks!
