- Monday, 1/19: Shopping Trip
- I drove to Quincy, IL, to pick up a couple prescriptions and get a few items, especially pet things. A new 12-quart plastic dish pan for holding pet water and a dog toothbrush and peanut butter flavored toothpaste I bought at Menards. In the last couple weeks I've been looking at a Stihl cordless pruner for limbing trees I've cut down for firewood, or removing large limbs while pruning trees. It's a battery-operated chainsaw with a six-inch chain. I bought this Stihl GTA 40 from Farm & Home. I also bought two bags of Diamond Performance dog food that contains 30 percent protein and 20 percent fat for Cooper.
- Speaking of the pup, Mary did some housecleaning with the ever-present help of our newest furry friend, Cooper. She reported that sweeping floors was an adventure with a dog glued to her side. He was either standing behind her, bumping the back of her legs, or standing in the pile of dirt she was sweeping...a lot of togetherness.
- Mary saw a flock of about 100-150 snow geese flying east to west, which would be the first of north-migrating snow geese heading across the state to Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge in northwest Missouri. She also saw about 75 trumpeter swans flying back and forth over our property.
- Katie flew to and from Barrow, AK, while checking a childcare center project she's working on and took several aurora photos through the airplane window. One is shown below.
