No snow in sight as we missed a big storm. We are on the bottom edge of it and may see a snow fall into the night. The angel sits a waits for the next weather condition to hit it.
We have only small places where snow had been built up that still have not melted. My weather geese are dry backs today. On our way to church yeast day we saw a dozen and a half of trumpeter swans flying in our valley. They didn’t go south or at least to southern Iowa. It is quite a sight to see that in Iowa as it use to be something we would just read about or see pictures of them in western states in the winer.
Our panda powder room in the basement is actually a full bath. The pandas hung in the hallway upstairs in the old house, right next to the bathroom door. So now they are behind the door in the bathroom, where they can only be appreciated when the door is closed. Its our little surprise mini art gallery in the bathroom. We have a print of Monets waterlilies and bridge in there alone with a photo of a waterlily taken by one of our older Minnesota friends. The photo was given to us 20 years ago.
A shot of the smaller scaled caboose on the new train rack. It is done but not ready for viewing yet.
The larger scaled red caboose is sitting down on a lower shelf. The designer just barely got it right as the caboose almost didn’t fit with the track being underneath it.
I did get my bridge put in today after having a temporary piece of plastic to fill the gap. The dentist had time to really get it all to fit so that when I closed my mouth, I could really close my mouth. A little grinding on the good teeth allowed the new fake teeth to blend together, so I have a new solid row of teeth. The procedure is like fitting in a puzzle piece but the snapping of the new piece meant pushing down on my jaw until we hit China. After the trial fit, the glue is applied and another procedure of pushing hard until it is all in place tightly is repeated. I am glad it is in, done, and I can now eat normally for the first time in many years.
We missed the storm and we are glad about that. North of us the weather is horrible. We still have a dark, overcast day but it is better than freezing rain and snow. I hope everyone is well today and thanks for stopping by today.

Glad you ditched a winter storm, Larry. It's been warming up here in NH as well. Looks like the train rack is coming along and congrats on getting the caboose to fit! And I know you are glad that the dental procedure is over and hope all goes well.
Oh, I love your little angel sitting there.
Love your panda print! Monets waterlilies would be welcome anywhere in a home, too!
It would be so interesting to visit and see all your art and other collections. Most of our treasures are behind glass to prevent cats from swatting things to the floor!
