Country CousinIssue Date: February 14, 2019 Better days are coming!
The weatherman must be amending his evil ways. The 10-day forecast looks pretty good. There may be a little snow on Thursday, and then a little again Wednesday, Feb. 20, but it isn't supposed to be serious. And daytime high temperatures are supposed to be in the 20s and 30s for the next 10 days, with night time lows between 10 and 18 degrees - above zero!

From My WindowIssue Date: February 14, 2019 Conflict on the Patio
By Jane Thibodeau Martin,
When I was younger I was perplexed at what seemed like an obsession some older people had with feeding birds.

So after my marriage we got a bird feeder and joined the neighborhood discussions about which birds we'd been able to attract.

Did we really have have our January thaw back in December, or did it come on Sunday, Feb. 3 and then go away again on Monday? High temperature in Green Bay on Sunday was reportedly 41 degrees - nearly 70 degrees warmer than the low of 26 below zero on Thursday, Jan. 31. How can a body adjust to changes like that???

From My WindowIssue Date: February 7, 2019 The Women of ඒ
By Jane Thibodeau Martin,
I graduated from Peshtigo High School in 1974. I think we had the largest graduating class ever at that time, with 109 seniors. Since then, we've scattered to the four winds both physically and philosophically. We are fortunate to have a powerhouse organizer, Robin, to keep us gathering for reunions every 5 years, but many, for various reasons, don't attend. Some of the classmates have passed away, some are thousands of miles away, and some are still in warm regu...
