dfish Posted February 2, 2021 #26 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Good morning, everyone. What a great group of days we have today. Buckeye Chuck agrees with the Canadian rodents and says early spring. I'll take it. I generally don't mind winter and definitely do enjoy the changing seasons. Call me weird (didn't I have a day for that recently), but I don't like the high temperatures of summer. My favorite season is fall and that would be followed by spring if it didn't rain so much. Definitely cherish the wetlands. We need to be great stewards of our earth, Today's meal didn't really speak to me. I don't like cooked carrots and this dish is full of them. It is kind of like a pot pie with biscuits instead of a crust. Some may like it, so I do offer the recipe. https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/turkey-biscuit-stew/ Have a great day, everyone! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Louis Sal Posted February 2, 2021 #28 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I spoke too soon on Groundhog Day. The clouds have parted and the sun is peeking out! All the squirrels in my yard are seeing their shadow, no groundhogs in sight though, not sure what that means. St Louis Sal 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare richwmn Posted February 2, 2021 Author #29 Share Posted February 2, 2021 from the Georgia version of Groundhog Day -- If you like warmer weather, good news. Gen. Beauregard Lee did not see his shadow and, according to the legend, we will get an early spring. Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania, Punxsutawney Phil had to make his prediction during a major snowstorm that's hitting the entire Northeast. He did see his shadow, meaning we have a conflict! 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I could be in that picture. No snow for me thank you. I thought it was appropriate, too!😎 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's from my 2016 Crystal Symphony Antarctica cruise as we crossed the Drake Passage to Antarctica: Roy 98% of my photos are sunsets, hardly ever catch the sunrises 😉. This one is not from a cruise, but taken a few weeks ago while on the interstate. St Louis Sal 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy I will find out tomorrow how my second jab will be scheduled. Seems to be a bit haphazard here in Florida. Some places schedule before you leave. Others call and offer you the second appointment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summer slope Posted February 2, 2021 #40 Share Posted February 2, 2021 As soon as we got home from the first shot I went online to register again. Just got an email thanking us for registering and that we are in line. Who knows. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping I won’t have to do that here. I hope where you are going schedules #2 before you leave. I know each county/site in Florida is different, but here's our experience... We got our first shots on 1/13/21 in Lake County (FL). Before we left they had our second shot scheduled. Getting it tomorrow 😄. Each of us got a confirmation email on 1/26 along with notification of location change. Today we each got a reminder email as well as a text. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKingD Posted February 2, 2021 #43 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Since our first jabs were at a community event at the Panthers Stadium, we got our second appointments when we successfully got appointments to get into the Stadium event, because the joint effort by the hospital system, the Panthers owner and Honeywell (who supplied the IT and logistics) will be a repeat at the stadium again the end of February. I am relieved to not have to deal with any more uncertainty than necessary. I'm trying to figure out how I can thank the remarkable people involved - from the first people directing us into the correct lane of traffic to all the workers every block or so along the way and all the medical personnel! I wish I could hand them all trophies or gift cards or some kind of token of appreciation. I'm still working on it since I have several weeks. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smitty34877 Posted February 2, 2021 #45 Share Posted February 2, 2021 We also have power and lots of snow. It is way over the head of the dog . He absolutely loves bounding around and jumping into the drifts. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaofami Posted February 2, 2021 #46 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Morning everyone. My post just disappeared. We have power and lots of snow. I’m closer to PA than Georgia so it looks like more of winter for us. I’m taking a zoom class given by Rutgers University later on the Roaring Twenties. I expect it to be interesting. Stay safe and double mask. Carol 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason Punxsatawney Phil saw his shadow is because of all the television lights shining in his face!!! We got about 15 inches on Long Island....and more predicted for next weekend. It's really winter here! Have a good day, stay warm and masked! Laura 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising-along Posted February 2, 2021 #50 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Good morning all! Around here the only way you can tell the difference between winter and spring is the rain is warmer in the spring 😉 So I'm expecting more of the same (RAIN) just a gradual warming lol. Which brings me to wetlands.....I live on wetlands with all the rain we get! It's fascinating to me how vaccination sites are doing everything so differently re 2nd jab appointments. We got our first shots at Swedish in Seattle, and our daughter (who set up those appointments bless her heart) made online appointments for our 2nd jabs right then as we were standing in line. She's a jewel! I like having it that way, so I don't make other plans and then find out I need to be in Seattle for the 2nd jab. On the other hand, my sister who lives north of us was told she would be notified by email. At least she doesn't have to try to make it herself, but I'm wondering if she'll have any choice in time of day. Thankfully for her though she got hers at a pharmacy 1/2 mile from her home so it wouldn't be a big problem. Turkey biscuit stew made me think of pot pie, which I would prefer with my pie crust instead of biscuits. We don't have turkey on hand but do have chicken, so I think that's what will be for dinner tonight. @St. Louis Salyay! about your DH's appointment for his first jab and prayers you get yours soon too. @ger_77so funny and true about you being your cat's emotional support animal!! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
