  • Monday, 2/9: Pizza, Firewood & Fetch
    • We experienced very warm temperatures for what's officially wintertime.
    • I saw online that today was International Pizza Day, so Mary made a midday meal of pizza.
    • I cut up the second dead mulberry tree southwest of the house and pulled another wagon load of mulberry firewood back home. Mulberry blasts a bunch of sparks when you place the firewood on hot red coals in the woodstove.
    • We let Cooper outside for the first time without leash. He comes immediately when we whistle, so we thought we'd give it a try. He runs everywhere all at once. Mary got a tennis ball and played fetch with him. He loves the game, runs very fast after the ball, and often grabs it in midair. Fetch is a great way of wearing him out. Cooper slept soundly in his chair this evening.
    • Bill texted that he will visit us between Feb. 18-22. He starts his new job on Feb. 23.
    • When I finished up evening chores, I heard an odd cry from the west woods. When Mary brought up various wildlife sounds from online sources, we identified it as a cry from a bobcat. It kind of resembles a baby's cry.
