weird weather continues redux

The weird weather in these parts continues with daytime high temperatures in the 40s and 50s this past week. Got up to 55 yesterday.

I checked this morning and some crocuses are poking up out of the ground here.

This is one weird postage stamp!

It comes from my ancestor's homeland, Poland. In fact, the stamp was used on a letter that my daughter received from one of our relatives in Poland.


zapping zits

I came across this gizmo in one of the many catalogs that arrive in the mail before the holidays. I can't imagine giving this item to anyone as a gift. It makes me hurt just looking at it!
