Clear and clean as a whistle.

At 45 F, or so, and clear, it is a very good afternoon.  No snow arrived, I don't think wind picked up... no debris to be seen.  Or it just stayed light.  Still, that is cooler than it has been.  Even so, for at least this weekend, I am keeping the rabbits under raps, just in case a weird rain or snow, with frigid temps, blows through.  I... don't trust it.  I wonder if Colorado is being hit?

The ducks have been released, their feed put out and watered.  The rabbits have at least been opened up to the sun and fun.  Oh, I best turn up the furnace.  Not as warm, anymore.  I'm thinking 70 should be enough?  Meh, I'll do 72 until it warms again.  If it gets to the 60's, I'll keep the furnace at 66 just in case, and won't heat the waterers anymore.  Once it hits 70, I won't bother with the furnace, of course.

I am beginning to look for the biggest ac unit which runs on 120.  I'm hoping to put that in the spare bedroom window, and have a fan pushing or pulling it out.  Plus the two ac's upstairs, but with the overhead shady branch gone, I am hoping that will... do.  If I win ssd back, I'll begin planning a new furnace and house ac... with humidifier (though hopefully one I can turn on and off).  Plus, a new electrical, with subpanels in the garage and maybe a small one in the nearest outbuilding.  I'd like one in each outbuilding, but those will be for another year.  It's a big if, one I don't count on.  Still...

Oh?  I finally used the bullet blender to make a kefir and fruit mix.  The kefir isn't very chunky, so... it was good enough.  I really like the fruit mashed in.  I think, if t he kefir is thicker and chunkier, I may blend the fruit with just a bit of the kefir... or blend the bulk of the kefir very slightly after truly mashing the fruit... will have to work that out.  But I think I am onto something.  Oh, I like the kefir natural flavor.  I tried it with a touch of vanilla last night.  That almost removed the raw kefir/yogurt style taste I have really learned to lover.  I will not add vanilla.  But if you don't like kefir/yogurt raw flavor?  Vanilla, or other extracts etcetera might be for you.

Today?  I... don't know.  A shower, more dishes, the rest of the laundry.  Maybe some work outside?  Perhaps... some other things.  I just... I don't know.  I was wearing down yesterday.  And it is rather cool today.  Trash set up?  So many things to do, but the list is shrinking... or at the easy, or already considered so plotted and planned, lists.  Tearing down boxes, sorting things out and beginning to consolidate and store boxes?  Cleaning the storage area for better food storage downstairs?  So many options, but they end up being huge jobs.  Still... yes... thinking.  Probably just the easy, and a beginning on one of those bigger, over-time, jobs.  I... I am thinking I am back.  Later.
