Saturday was beautiful!
A gorgeous morning:
The temp rose to 60 in the afternoon - tee shirt and jeans weather! Yay!
Charlie and the girls waiting to get out:
It was just wonderful being outside. Until I looked at the radar later that afternoon:
Nasty looking sky:
Then it hit:
Even had some hail!
Yesterday we noticed a lot of branches came down:
Nothing hit the house, so we were lucky!

Easy Listening for a Sunday Afternoon
Robert Goulet
If ever I would leave you
It wouldn't be in summer.
Seeing you in summer
I never would go.
Your hair streaked with sunlight,
Your lips red as flame,
Your face with a lustre
That puts gold to shame!
It wouldn't be in summer.
Seeing you in summer
I never would go.
Your hair streaked with sunlight,
Your lips red as flame,
Your face with a lustre
That puts gold to shame!
But if I'd ever leave you,
It couldn't be in autumn.
How I'd leave in autumn
I never will know.
I've seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air.
I know you in autumn
And I must be there.
It couldn't be in autumn.
How I'd leave in autumn
I never will know.
I've seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air.
I know you in autumn
And I must be there.
And could I leave you
Running merrily through the snow?
Or on a wintry evening
When you catch the fire's glow?
Running merrily through the snow?
Or on a wintry evening
When you catch the fire's glow?
If ever I would leave you,
How could it be in springtime?
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so?
Oh, no! not in springtime!
Summer, winter or fall!
No, never could I leave you at all!
How could it be in springtime?
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so?
Oh, no! not in springtime!
Summer, winter or fall!
No, never could I leave you at all!

At the Hop!
Those oldies but goodies reminds me of you
The songs of the past bring back memories of you
I always remember the first night we met
The songs they were playing I never will forget
The songs of the past bring back memories of you
I always remember the first night we met
The songs they were playing I never will forget
I always will treasure them so close to my heart
They always will haunt me although we're apart
Each time that I hear them a tear's bound to fall
For I love those memories that I, I-I recall
They always will haunt me although we're apart
Each time that I hear them a tear's bound to fall
For I love those memories that I, I-I recall
Those oldies but goodies reminds me of you
The songs of the past bring back memories of you
Forever they will haunt me but what can I do?
The songs of the past bring back memories of you
Forever they will haunt me but what can I do?
Those oldies but goodies reminds me of you
(Oldies but goodies reminds me of you)
(Oldies but goodies reminds me of you)
Yes, dear, they are playin' our songs.
And they will always remain our songs
And each time you hear them, I hope you, too, will cherish the wonderful
Memories that our love once knew.
For these songs are just a symbol of the
Love that I had for you.
And they will always remain our songs

Not much snow left - which is GOOD! Sick of it!
Rolling hills:
Some pretty clouds:

Charlie and the girls say.....
.....it's about time Chickenmom is up and about!
We missed our treats!!!
Look how skinny we are:
Humph! - she should have cooked more spaghetti:
Just want to say a big, big "Thank You"! to all who sent get well wishes and I will reply to all today !
Sorry it will have taken so long to do (shame on me) but that darn bug had thrown Hubby and I for a loop. It's never taken us this long to recover and we get the flu shots every year, too.
Again, thank you!

Easy Listening for a Sunday Afternoon
In the mood for Ella today:
Night And Day
Like the beat, beat, beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick, tick, tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick, tick, tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip, drip, drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, darling, where you are
I think of you
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, darling, where you are
I think of you
Night and day, day and night, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go?
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
That this longing for you follows wherever I go?
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Night and day, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an, oh, such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
Night and day, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an, oh, such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And its torment won't be through
'Till you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
'Till you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
Night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an, oh, such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And its torment won't be through
'Till you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an, oh, such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And its torment won't be through
'Till you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day

Friday Night Steam
Big boys and their toys!
Firing up and running the Canadian National #6060 4-8-2 live steam locomotive
Featured
on the cover of Live Steam Magazine Sept / Oct 2016 issue, Ernie
Beskowiney put approximately 7 years and 35,000 hours into the design
and construction of this flawless 7.5" gauge live steam locomotive.
It is nearly entirely CNC'd out of stainless steel and is slightly
larger than 1/8 scale.
The operating pressure is 150 PSI and develops about 483lbs of tractive effort. It has pulled a train of 48 people without blinking. Here is Ernie firing up and running the locomotive at the Bitter Creek Western railroad.
For more information, see the Sept / Oct 2016 issue of Live Steam Magazine, available from Village Press.

Canadian National Railways U-1-f class locomotives, were a class of
twenty 4-8-2 or Mountain type locomotives built by Montreal Locomotive
Works in 1944. They were numbered 6060–6079 by CN and nicknamed “Bullet Nose Bettys” due to their distinctive cone-shape smokebox door cover.

Lets go for a ride!
It WAS a long trip and we had to go under the speed limit. The pickup bed was FULL! It is the same route we take during the rest of the year, but the snow made it seem so different!
Thanks for coming along for the ride - love having you join us!
