Bill brought me a poinsettia yesterday.
It has added a festive touch to the busYness of dining room table area.
We have a lot of standing water here at the Lovestead this morning, but we do not have to shelter in place like the folks up East Spring Creek Road near Clark Fork.
Residents have received word that the road is impassable. According to one Facebook account, the new culverts near the fish hatcher "blew out."
So, the continuous rain has caused a few problems here.
Yesterday was definitely an "indoor sports" day with the nonstop rain.
I was ecstatic that Roxane kept the horses in their stalls because of the rain, which meant my farrier Steve could trim hooves inside out of the elements.
Another 50-degree day lies ahead, but my phone says no rain today or tomorrow. Hope that's true.
We've had wind which is helping dry out the land.
Not exactly what we're used to seeing in almost mid-December. As my sister says, imagine how much snow we would have on the ground if it had been cooler.
So, overall, it's not too bad here because we can walk pretty much anywhere we want, 'cept maybe through the lakes, which, in some cases, would pour into my low-cut boots.
Indoor sports yesterday included baking some pumpkin bread from my garden pumpkin, and it's pretty tasty and moist.
Bill had three pieces for breakfast and approved.
There's something almost magical about biting into a piece and thinking about the seed I placed in the manure pile garden back in May.
That thought makes me just want to take another bite and smile.
The Sandpoint High varsity basketball teams are down in Southeast Idaho (Idaho Falls) for the next three days to compete in a tournament which features eight women's and eight men's teams.
Wishing them a lot of luck.
The times listed are Mountain, so the girls tip-off at 8:30 Pacific, while the boys play at 10 a.m.
Good Luck, Bulldogs.

Thursday Throwbacks: fun friends, family and events of past times from my photo library.
I could post the photo above every single week and still laugh insanely every time. Silly girls and teachers all---and friends who've always made me smile.
Two generations of the Raiha family, brothers Andy and Dan and Dan's son Everett. I think he's in high school now.
Above: not who you may think. That's our friends Mark and Ann-Marie who own Lawcus Farm Guesthouse near Kilkenny, Ireland.
Below: on the left, Anthony, a truly unique and fun soul whom we met on a ferry ride to the Aran Island of Inis Mor a couple of years ago.
While horses and their riders circled the arena, Annie and Jenny entertained themselves in the bleachers. Both have grown up and don't spend a lot of time organizing pop cans these days.
Mr. Mayor George of Dover.
Willie has spent some time in jail, and that time was spent with a high school administrator, the late Tom Keough.
I believe this was taken at a Leohono Honor Society Carnival at Sandpoint High.
And, there were no strong winds blowing through the house that day!
A little lady with a Love shirt in Ireland.
A fun evening at Vanderfords a few years back when Boots (second left) and Pat (right) were still alive. It was an authors' gathering. Sandy (left) and I behaved ourselves.
Elaine and Dagmar at a Lutheran birthday party.
A few cousins, Madalyn, Mary and Lauri, and Batch One, the Brown kids: Kevin, Marianne and Mike at our mother's celebration of life in 2013.
The black-and-whites feature some photos taken at a few of our Christmas gatherings.
Fun times with family.
Above: Batch One (Kevin, Marianne and Mike) with the first member of Batch Two, sister Barbara. Laurie and Jim came later to round out Batch Two.
Below: Our oldest brother Mike wasn't there because at the time plebes (first-year students) at West Point were not allowed to come home for Christmas.
So, we wore our sweats and tees from the academy.
Below: Reclaim Idaho co-founder Luke Mayville and Jim Imholte. Both are former students, and both make me very proud.
Above: an eerie Friday night in downtown at the beginning of the Pandemic.
My two friends Janis and Jean (Mow) live in the desert, and we all got together for lunch while Annie and I were visiting.
La Rae (a former student) and her hubby own the Silver Spur Restaurant in Troy, Mont.
Some friends at a Woman of Wisdom luncheon.
I've known that one on the left and the young man since they were born.
Precious memories of precious pet friends.
