And now for today’s weather report–
Haha. I have friends in other parts of the country that tell me they don’t keep track of the weather because they know I’ll tell them. Well we’ve had some rain here–all the stormy stuff seems to be passing to the south. Weather people been a tizzy last few days about Sunday. Well–it may snow somewhere, some people will have a lot more than others, and it will happen sometime-ha- Well forecasts here range form several inches to nothing–so–we’ll see.
Neighborhood kids enjoy running up and down the paths I’ve made in my yard. I’d rather they stay out, but as long as they stay on the paths…however–tendency will be they might eventually be running over the bulb mounds I’ve made which have crocuses and daffoldils I recently planted.
Poison ivy now in the dry, ugly flaking alligator skin phase, and still keeps trying to spread new spots, despite all the washing and treating I still do. But from what I remember in the past, usually takes about a month anyway, so would seem par for course.
Some movies I’ve seen for the first time and greatly enjoyed off Turner Classic Movies (TCM):
Bell, Book and Candle.
1958 movie starring James Stewart as publisher, who get involved with antique
shop owner Kim Novac, who is part of a group of Greenwich Village witches.
She casts a love spell on him out of boredom, then actually falls in
love with him. Beautifully filmed, and much witty dialogue.The Devil and Daniel Webster. 1941, down and out farmer in the 1840′s makes deal for seven years of good luck with the devil, played joyously by Walter Huston. When the devil comes to collect his due–Daniel Webster argues for the defense. Great black and white cinematography, and very well written dialogue and plot, and wonderful acting behind it.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame. 1939 Charles Laughton version. Moving performance by Laughton.
They had more snow forecasts on the news. Something different each time. Haha

BELL BOOK AND CANDLE!!!!!!
Some former friend used to say that was about me.
Keep those BRATS out of your yard!!
Yep, keep those stinky kids out of your garden! Those are fantastic films. I have to check and recheck them out!
Of course the parents think it’s cute. I’m also skeptical of the citizenship status of the family–but that’s another topic–
That’s some old school viewing there, Wil! (Haven’t seen any of them, either, which is amazing as I do like old film quite a bit.)
Any of that tornadic stuff get your way? I saw something on the news about tornados, this morning I think it was? I can’t remember.
