Breakfast Sunday 26 January 2026

Later this morning I'm planning on making a Midwest style fry up. Potatoes, onions, over easy egg, bacon, broiled tomato and whole grain toast. Pot of hot tea.
The snow started really falling around 11, looks like there is about 3 inches in the yard.

1. Mug of hot Earl Grey

Cheddar omelette with salsa verde.
Sweet potato fries.

A couple tangelos with toasted pecans.

2. Black coffee is made

Planning oatmeal with fruit (fresh pear and raspberries)

I slept through the storm's beginning. So far the snow is about four inches with small snow flakes coming down now. I'm not planning on going outside anytime soon.

Ducky was staring out his window when I had the outside lights on. He was letting out little woofs. No vehicles on the road or our lane so it is very quiet.

5. Hope TJ's hotel is close to work. Thank goodness you have the Duckster to keep you company.

7. It is across the street from her work

She can see work from her room window.

3. Black coffee ☕, and last night's popcorn.

No tv signal this morning. DirecTV switched over to Internet feed. That means, when it's daylight, I have to clean the snow off the satellite antenna. Turned the porch light on, and the snow looks pretty deep.

Cher, when we left the casino I was thinking it wasn't that long ago we were stuck in a snowdrift. I had a casino security guard (who I like) come tell when it starts snowing. Good thing, because it started snowing earlier than expected.

4. Coffee with cream, now

Croissant with ham, leftover pineapple casserole, soon.

Sleet, coming down with high winds.

Good Morning🤗

6. Sleet, that sounds like freezing rain. Hope you don't lose power.

8. Good idea with your

Guard friend!

The snow started about an hour ago. I was looking out the window at my bamboo forest when a big gust came in from the north and caused a white out.

Then three deer ran into the forest like they were ducking for cover!

They love the forest because it is so thick. It is like having a roof over their heads .

9. When the weather turns bad around here, the deer

will herd up. It's not uncommon to see 20, 30 deer huddled together in a cornfield. My woods border alongside of farm fields, so I bet I have a lot of them in the woods right now. I have a couple salt blocks out in the woods for them. They watch me when I cut firewood and they don't seem to think of me as a threat. They're curious animals, I just wish they wouldn't eat all my corn, lol. 4 degrees outside, brrrr.

[NJCher]

10. I never heard of deer herds!

I wish I’d known about the salt block. What does that do for them?

[Emile]

11. Why Deer Need Salt & Minerals

Dietary Supplement: Deer naturally seek out salt licks to get minerals missing from their forage, especially in spring.
Health & Growth: Essential minerals aid bone and muscle development, antler growth, and overall herd wellness.

[NJCher]

12. thanks for that!

I am going to get some.

[Emile]

13. I get the 50 pound blocks at Tractor Supply.

They're heavy though, so if you go that way use a wheelbarrow. I use my little tractor. I think you can find lighter salt blocks, but they are more expensive.

14. I'll get them to load it in my car

Then when I get home, I will just roll it down the ravine. They'll find it!
