Starlings fighting over the suet cake feeder outside my kitchen door.

Early morning heading into work on Rte 66.

A space galaxy, but really this is my left eye, showing a ‘tough’, which is good, optic nerve as the bright orb. No issues at all. The right eye reflected the same.

Someone wasn’t feeling very romantic. This was done last night.

For the first time it looks like The Blue House will have some daffodils.

Ryan, on the left, is moving out of town so our spin class instructor got her, and the rest of us, a cake. Needless to say, we didn’t really want to eat it, but Barb and I made a valiant effort!

While grabbing some groceries I did a double-take when I spotted these radioactive bagels. How ghastly!

I came across a small workshop of a few people making Mardi Gras masks. They were so engrossed that I didn’t want to encroach.

Saw this brush pile and wish I had thought to do this in the garden. There will be a couple for the next winter for the critters to overwinter in.

Breaking into my new 1lb pot of Marmite, spreading on the bread thick. A great way to start my day.

The night is as silent as the grave.

Rosie Lee close up. Beautiful face.

Today is likely this houses’s last day standing in Front Royal. There will likely be some eyesore thrown up in its place.

My Campari and soda glowed like it was radioactive under the kitchen lights. The saturation on this photo was not enhanced.

Capon Springs pool, which is fed only by the spring water with no additives. It looked inviting even in the middle of winter.

Nearly at work, traffic madness in the rain.

A beautiful sunset as I left the house to attend my first ever writing workshop. It was an enlightening evening.

I’ve bought a few of these antique glass fridge containers so I can do away with plastic. These are getting hard to find locally but I’m all set now.

The boys finally got the new embroidery machine on a fork lift, so now I can get that big metal box up for sale. $800 OBO anyone?

I was going to complete this with some strong comments but just cannot bring myself to put my signature to his ‘victory survey’. This bumpf will go in the recycling bin.

Interesting wall on a barn this afternoon.

Trying the whiskies at the local Filibuster Distillery. Made a promise with 2 ladies there to return and try the gin flight in the near future.

2 presses with 4 staff running late to complete a personal order for Boss Man. Only Olga working with me was a pro, the rest of us were rookies, but we got the job done!

Look at the garbage that was dropped in my nail box today.

A break in production as we watched a lady stretchered out of a business opposite us. Hoping she’ll be OK...

Steps leading up to the Mosby’s Men memorial right by my house.

A large group of us residents attended the town budget meeting tonight to protest about the interim town manager firing 5 solid long serving staff members so money could be saved.

2 Feb 2020

I had to sit on this until today as I was so angry. Jiffy Lube failed to replace 2 locking nuts on 2 wheels plus didn’t replace an air cap. They’re supposedly going to replace all today after I called them this morning. 

Handing out a prize for the best costume at FroRo’s Polar Plunge.
