It was below freezing this morning with a clear sky. It stayed cold too, was still hovering around the freezing point when I went out to vote at about 10:30. Had to scrape the windshield, side and back windows. There was still frost in shady areas at noon.
I forgot to get eggs last shopping trip on Saturday, so planned to pick up a few things after voting. Bode hasn’t been getting around too well for the past couple days, seems to get confused and end up with his nose in a corner or under a chair. He did rouse himself when he figured I was going out though. When I let him out the front door, with the side door of the car opened as usual, saw that he was crossing the street when I turned back from shutting the front door of the house. I don’t move too fast under the best of circumstances, but managed to get him turned around about half way across the lane and fortunately there was a lull in traffic.
When we returned, saw that there was a flattened opossom at the curb across the street and he must have followed his nose. Guess if he is still able to go after road kill, he hasn’t gone downhill as much as I feared.
The flat leaf parsley that I let outside looked pretty sad this morning, but had perked up considerably by afternoon. The little side yard garden is still producing.
