I finally began today to get ready for Christmas. I cleared the counter to make room for my little Christmas tree. I’ll take it and ornaments from the deck closet tomorrow. It’s rained so much I haven’t left my apartment in the last couple of days. I carried my umbrella and walked to the mailbox yesterday but that was it for going out. I’ve read The Dogs of Babel and worked Sudokus. I surprised myself by completing three or four. I also made a pineapple pie. I’ve done a little cleaning, nothing major. How many of you guys have been in due to bad weather?

We have a 30% chance of snow tonight and a 100% chance of rain/snow tomorrow. I took it easy most of today - periodically writing, then posting an article on Substack. Then, after dark, I walked to the grocery store and picked up a few groceries.

It’s rained steadily here for several days. I’ve walked to the .mailbox under an umbrella . I did have a doctors appointments but I’m not counting that. I’ve enjoyed Sudokus. I hadn’t worked those in awhile. Hope you don’t get snow. That’s worse than rain.

@Chellezhere Ice is the real problem. When we have ice traffic will be at a stand still.

@RubyHawk we did get some snow. Snow is fine, and so is rain. The biggest problem is ice.

As of two hours ago a lot of rain coming from Texas has crossed into southwest Louisiana and given my region a decent amount of rain that will run through the evening until Sunday morning.

I hope your rain doesn’t last as long as here. I think our forecast was for rain all week. This is Sunday and rains still coming down.

@LadyDuck That is-so cold. It’s still in the fifties here. I had to be out about all day and the wind was a little chilly.

When the rain finally stops here I expect cold will set in for the winter. It’s in the fifties here.

We might have snow before the winters over. We usually have a couple of small snows. Do you like all the heavy snow.? My niece in New Hampshire and her family love their deep snows. They go hiking and skiing.all winter.

I don’t have room for a large tree, I could move around and make room. But I like my little tree . It’s no trouble at all to put up and take down. Enjoy putting your tree up and decorating.

We have a tropical depression now but it's not affecting our region directly it's cloudy and the sky is dark. Perhaps it would rain later in the afternoon. It's good you're able to put up your Christmas decor, and that pineapple pie is appealing. Now I'm hungry. Have fun for the rest of the day.
