I was visiting a friend who'd been out of town for a spell and they said they would be going to hear a certain pastor in town, a pastor who is a good pal of mine too. They invited me to go too but I declined because I just don't like churches and sitting there with all that Avon and mint smell for over an hour (I'm severely allergic to mint which makes me avoid crowds in close places). And they asked if I was "doing" anything for the holiday. I told them someone gave me some Peeps which I intend to open and let sit out for the day and get stale, then I'll throw them away. They laughed and said, "good for you!".

I'm going to watch the snow fall gently to the ground all day since the wind finally died down, and watch migrating birds who visit my little world.
