Groundhog Day! Doesn't look like he'll see his shadow in this part of the country, can we hope for an early spring? I doubt if anyone would complain. We have some snow, but not everything covered. There's a white coating, covering up the ugly brown. There are some flurries right now, doesn't look too threatening. The coldest we've had was 0 degrees. That's cold enough for us.
Today Rufus and David are in Cedar Rapids at the Hy-Vee on Mt. Vernon St. to do a demo for a special event they are having. David went along for lessons, so he can also start doing some demos for people. The vehicles looked awful from driving on snowy roads earlier in the week, we brought them to the plant this morning and Rufus washed both before he left. That's off the list for this afternoon. This evening Rufus and I will go to our church's community center to help with a comfort knotting for the youth. Yesterday afternoon I went with 6 other women and a few girls to set up. I think we have 12 frames, with more tops ready to put in as they finish up. Boys and girls help, heard some times they will have boys underneath to put the needle through from the bottom and someone takes it on the top! It could be interesting. We serve treat afterwards. It gets split amongst 5, my share is 40 ham & cheese sandwiches (we'll heat them there) 4 gallon of drink, 3 bags of chips, and a gallon of fresh fruit. It means getting to bed later than we normally do on a Saturday night.
Galen was in this morning to take yesterday's cheese out of the hoops. He wants to go to his farm and pull logs up to be cut up for firewood. He had done some earlier. When Rachel was here 2 weeks ago, she helped him cut, split and put it in the basement. He is ready to do something away from the cheese plant.
