What to Watch Today
- Bridge lifts & horn salutes: listen for the three-long, two-short Ambassador Salute when ships greet the bridge.
- Ship IDs: look for hull color, self-unloader booms, and crane count to tell Lakers from salties.
- Wind & waves: easterlies kick up waves at the canal — dramatic entries & spray.

Hello Ardy ! It’s already hot….you can work in the garden🌼
Yes already hot!!! It has been 88 and will be 90 this weekend.

Nice! When all is planted, be sure to post a pic for us to enjoy.
I will but he will wait a couple weeks or so to plant in case we have a cold spell.
Plants all look healthy.
How wonderful for Rick to prepare his pepper garden in late February.
All done on that side….the pine tree is old and not doing well
Someone has a green thumb…..lovely plants.
Good morning everyone! I see it was 18 and lightly snowing in Duluth when I checked in here.
I will be paying some bills online today (the ones that aren’t paid by automatic draft).
I hope everyone has a great day 🥰
Good rainy morning, Kathy! Bet you are under a rain cloud, too.
Good day to stay inside. Question: Want my bills, too?
😀
Hi Angie..🙋🏻♀️
Hah! I think I will pass on your bills 😂
Good morning Kathy 💛
Duluth a little warmer now….22° lol
I paid a credit card bill by phone earlier. Credit card bill was lost in mail. 🙄
Most of our bills are paid by automatic draft too.
Have a nice day.

Hello Angelin 💙 Snow is melting slowly.

Hello Kathy ! have a good day…🥰
Good morning everyone. ⚓
A cool 5 degrees in Duluth as I check in this morning.
My neck of the woods…. 34° with another 1 inch of snow❄ last night.
Have a good day.
Good morning, TEA! You’ve certainly had your share of snow
this winter. On the average, how much do you usually receive
each winter?
Had my first bone density scan this morning. It was easy peasy.
Hope that checks out and will not need some type of medication.
Last year we had a total of 8″ of snow..❄..this was a really bad winter for us.
I hope your bone density test comes back with good results. 👍
Hello Tea !😀 Have a good day..
😘
Good morning everyone ⛄
Snowing in Duluth, but thank heavens it is not snowing in my neck of the woods.
We had 21″ of snow Sunday. Hubby cleared 1/3 of our double driveway and sidewalk in front of our porch.
Sunny today with a high of 31°. Sun will melt some of the snow today.
Thank you all for your concern and prayers. The blizzard is now history.😉
Have a nice day.
Good hearing from you this morning, TEA! Glad the blizzard is
finally over and melting is the next step to clear it all the way.
😍
