This afternoon I went for a walk at Swift Wetland Preserve, which is just down the road from where I live. 🐸🌳⛄Not too icy, nice quiet walk there.
Then I went down to the library for a while. Very busy afternoon at the library. 🔰📕📗It’s good that it’s getting lots of use.
Continuing to learn about the Max7219 Display and building my clock module. Seems to work pretty well once I updated my libraries in Arduino IDE and figured out how to use software. 🔌💻💽
Tomorrow I’m planning on going skiing 🎿assuming that I can get the ice off my truck without a scrapper. Who knows, but usually ice comes off once the defrost kicks in. I also need to go grocery shopping. 🍌🍛🍞🍗🍎 I do love those Hannaford Cream-o cookies but I probably won’t go there this week instead shopping at Shoprite. 🍪🍪 I like shopping at different stores as they have changing selections.
Not sure where I will go, but I’m leaning towards Thacher Park OSI parcel. ❄ I would consider Partridge Run, with shotgun in sling for squirrels 🐒 but not with the roads certainly as icy as they like are up there. I’m staying way off the side roads for the next few days because I’m sure they are all just a sheet of ice. 🚘🗻
Looking ahead, National Hug Day is in 1 weeks, 💑 Winnie the Pooh Day is in 5 weeks 🍯 and April Fools Day and Easter is in 11 weeks. 🐣
🌲🌻Only 130 days remain until the start of Memorial Day Weekend!⛺🍗
