Thankful Tuesday.

It's raining this morning and local meteorologists are predicting the temperature will rise to the upper 40's or lower 50's as the day progresses. That might not sound very warm to those of you who live in more temperate climates, but to those of us in Northwestern Pennsylvania the upper 40's in early February is a blessing. Especially after two weeks of snow, snow and more snow with a side of colder than 7734.

There was a fine sheet of ice on the porch landing and stairs when Bandit and I stepped outside to gather the morning paper. A light sprinkling of pet safe snow melt made short work of that hazard.

Today we're headed to the veterinarian to get Bandit's ears checked. It seems he has an ear infection (poor puppy).

Here's hoping y'all have a blessed day.
