Not having a title to my blogs has bugged me for some time, so today I'll start given my blogs names.
It is the 27th of January and yes , I have been sitting out for half an hour to enjoy the sun.
It felt luxurious sitting there, with a blanket across my knees , reading a magazine and watching cats and birds sharing this moment of peaceful coexistence.
Thanks for days like this .

We are now officially "Micro Generators"
Amazing, to think that all our planing, Werner's tireless research and our ability to come up with the money to finance the project, has finally come to fruition.
All the hours of various kind of prep work, i.e. drilling the holes for the cement anchors, cutting the metal for the scaffold to size,painting the pieces, welding it all together ,coordinating the work with the installer , the energy supply company and the inspector. The short days and long nights of winter made for a long wait.
Lucky for us, since we implemented the grid portion of our pv system , we have been graced with sunny weather.
What a good feeling to know, that we have reached one of our goals .

Adendum
sun rays-powerful portions of bundled energy
traveling through our solar system
to be used by us
we can see colours ,plants grow, we have oxygen and nitrogen
and now we can harvest electrical energy in our front yard
hold me , I am swaying

Dancing with dead people is dangerous!
At least, when I am involved!
The housewarming party at my friends house was a great success. Of course not everybody attended, but that is always to be expected.
We, the attendees had a wonderful evening.
Because we are more scientific than artistic, we had a lot double dead identities.

Amelia Earhard 2x
Coco Chanel 2x
Jackie O 2x
Count Dracula 1x
Paul Bunion 2x
Albert Einstein 1x
Farrah Fawcett 1x
The Ghost of Christmas Past 1x
Audrey Hepburn 1x
Some others , whose costume I sadly forgot.
We had fun, lots of good food and lots of wine and a DJ.
So we danced and oh how I enjoyed that.....until I heard a distinct rip in my knee and it became painfull to even walk. I tore a ligament!
So, dancing with dead people is dangerous!
Back on the couch . More musings to come.

Cleaning,
Not new , not unusual, but every speck of dirt is new every time.
Where does dirt come from? Dust travels far, and they found dust specks from the Sahara desert in the Eastern states of the USA.That makes me wonder, where does our dust come from?
Just from the outside, far to trivial for me!
The northern most sand dunes of the world are in northern Saskatchewan.May be from there?
But our wind patterns are not usually from east to west.
My theory , of course completely unfounded by research, is, we have glacial silt in our house, which travels from far up north. Imagine the melting glaciers, the uncovering of very old sediments which had previously been encased in the ice.
So while cleaning, I am uncovering historic particles.Wow, very careful now, I remove them from our house and bring them outside , to be send away on their journey around the world.
A trivial task being made special!
I love it!

Oh new years resolutions!I kept watching the days go by and I was in no shape to write anything due to illness and work. There was only so much energy available and something had to give.
However , I had plenty of time to muse. What was I musing about, why , dead people of course. The reason for these musings is an invite to my friends bash at Cemetery hill, she just moved there and the her first party's slogan is , come as your favorite dead person, no relatives.
There are many to choose from, for we have more dead people than alive . But who to choose.
What statement do I want to make?Outrageous, political, historical. Werner's advise was, stay away from Hitler, even the prince did not get away with it.
I decided on a heroine and Amelia Earhard came to mind, German heroes might not all that well know here in North America, so why bother , if I have to constantly explain, starting with Adam and Eve.
American heroine here I come! I admired Amelia's guts for having done all her flying in this male dominated world.Little Lindy!! She showed gut lost her life .
The costume is great as well, knee high boots, riding breeches , bomber jacket, goggles and pilots cap.
Except, another friend of mine is going as Amelia as well. To hell with Amelia, German hero here I come, and it is going to be a memorable night of being Manfred von Richthofen, The Red Baron!
It is really all about the flying!-and the fun!

To think , that I would be in bed and out of commission,unusual. All my healthy lifestyle and healthy food did nothing to prevent this stupid cold. My chest feels raw and in the evenings my breathing feels asthmatic, cause I can hardly exhale.Let's deal with this by ignoring it, you are not the boss of me you stupid cold.
Hard to find something to write about when my input is so limited.
So I watched our single deer which has taken up residence in front of our barn, It sleeps right beside some hay bales on some old hay and loves hanging out with the cats. It is often, that I see at least one cat right beside the deer on top of a bale. Yesterday the deer walked around the periphery of the house to check out some other food options. The bird feeder was definitely a major attraction, but out of reach. So off it went for a little snack of grass in front of our living room before retiring at it's favorite resting place.
How precious to have the opportunity and be able to take the time to get to know a wild animal by watching it's daily routines.
Another day in paradise-still special and unusual after about 4 years of living here.
