Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

Old habit die slower (???).  We usually have a limited budget (as many others).  Once I had a unlimited budget for food shopping and still I was pinching pennies.  I just was so used to comparing prices and getting the best deal that I could.  I could not break myself of that habit and was still looking and comparing the prices of different items.  Old habits die slowly.

We had a big snowstorm last night.  The first thing I noticed was there were no suet left on the tree outside.  I immediately put some out and sprinkled sunflower seed on the ground for the birds.

It had snowed over a foot last night.  We were in good shape for I went food shopping two days ago.  I did park closer to the curb so I had less driveway to shovel.

The man from our town was plowing the edge of the road so the local post man could reach into our mail boxes to make his deliveries.  He offered to plow the rest of our driveway.

We had shoveled part of it already.  My wife offered him money but he said he did not want any.  Both of us were thrilled.  It only took him a few minutes to complete the job.  He was an angel.  There is nothing like being in a small town.
