Here we are greeting Thursday, the last day of February 2024. I always felt February could drag as much as January, but February was in a skipping mood this year.

Wednesday morning’s tornado reports are still being investigated by the National Weather Service, but it’s been announced that there were touchdowns in close communities east of Kettering and Dayton. A few blocks away in Oakwood, the storm that was to impact Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Xenia, Beavercreek, Fairborn, and Yellow Springs, was tracked moving eastward at forty miles per hour.

The day continued with dull skies, brisk winds, and colder temperatures just a few hours after knowing warm breezes with temperatures near seventy.

Today holds little activity save a few hours away from the pooches. I’d like to visit my Chinese haunt but that will depend on my energy level by late afternoon.

I completed my Walmart grocery order Monday morning with the anticipation of its delivery by Wednesday afternoon. Tuesday, while attending to business and completing errands, I purchased several items from Kroger that I had purposely not put on my Walmart list. On this list was three large stalks of celery.

This afternoon’s delivery yielded three large stalks of celery! I had forgotten to delete celery from my delivery. I had already cut up the celery from Kroger to be used with carrots and radishes with dip through this weekend. I knew the newer stalks would not hold up.

Three diced stalks of celery with chopped green onion and three cans of mushroom soup later, I produced a delicious batch of cream of celery soup. I was surprised that it would actually turn out and not to be thrown out.

On with this day. Make it a great day!
