Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

We aren't too far from Floyd, we go there quite often. Great little town, especially if you enjoy Bluegrass. Very close to VA Tech, Radford, etc. Beautiful countryside but expensive real estate; try looking in surrounding counties for more reasonable properties.

Just window shopping right now, unless I find a smoking hot deal. Wife liked one 30 acre just NE of Floyd, nice view, long private drive. Probably too remote for retiring to

I’ve always liked Hillsville area.

Got inquiry in about one near Lexington VA. But only 8 acres with about half useable.

Our friends near Radford moved to NC.
I kind of prefer Augusta, RockBridge, Botatourt counties for proximity to wife’s family.

Update on my weather, we got a half inch of sn*w last night.

Early afternoon for couple mins. had snow flakes dancing in the air...it's ahhh coming.

42F cloud sun mix.

Finally got caught up on leaves early afternoon dark clouds came rolling in and couple mins. snow flakes were dancing in the air.

No plans for the evening and early to bed I am sure.

Enjoy your evening all.

I would use razor blade knife to trim off glue on edging.

That is on the list. Most of it came off with easy pressure from putty knife. Gentle heat gun loosed rest, but left more glue. The hardwood frame is actually in very decent shape. I will gently sand and most likely use a urethane stain?

Got seven plants in pots moved around back with Cub and dump cart where they can at least catch some sun.

Planted last two locally-sourced irises, also replanted 2 or 3 irises that the deer apparently pulled out of the ground. Didn't look like they did any real damage so I just stuck them back in. Still waiting on the four irises that I ordered that I'm short.

The abandoned male cat showed up while I was doing that so I captured him and brought him upstairs and we stuck him out in the garage with some food and a bed until tomorrow morning, when The Woman will take him into a vet for neuter and shots, then we keep him until Sunday when he'll get placed with a rescue service that is working with a local pet chain that offers them up for adoption.

Busted up a bunch of dirt clods in that planting bed.

Started taking down the electric fence around garden. Looks like that will need to be relocated around the flower bed to keep the deer out of it, at least until the plants can establish.

Gathered up all the empty pots and put them in dump cart and brought back up to front to store in the garage.

Also got one hose drained out for winter storage.

Woman made ham and bean soup for dinner and the dinner bell has rung ...

Fair warning, we have a new 16 yo driver on the roads....Good thing we practiced parallel parking a few times just before we went....that was the first thing they did as soon as they rounded the corner. Good grief the amount of paperwork you have to have filled out...


Have a blessed day all, prayers....for our country too.

Congrats to the new driver! It is such an exciting time.

If you can spare a few flakes, send them on down...make sure you give some to BEF, too.

Been up on that mountain. Nice day today for a drive. I went up Rt15 from Frederick tonight, did you go down that way?

Hey, MD has enough snow flakes.
Oh, you mean the white stuff.

Are you saying I can only cook once a year?

The weather forecast was wrong. The morning low was the day's high temp, it just kept getting colder and settled at 49˚F with light rain all day.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

34 earlier, headed to 54. Big old frost.

My septic warning light is on, don’t know if the pump quit, light shorted or tanks full. I guess I’ve gotta figure it out. Always something.

My father in law found out Sunday that his last living brother in Colorado has been diagnosed with bone cancer and given two to six weeks.

I have to start running down the septic issue. Have a good day.

Hope you figure out the septic. Prayers for all with cancer, and the families that have to help and support those with it.

Does it count if I do the grocery shopping instead?

Good evening all. 45F to start, overcast, calm wind, 1.4 inch in gauge. Very light wind today, foggy most of day with light drizzle, and high temp under achieved at 47F, forecast was for 50F. Men's meeting to start day. Then started working on getting rid of old computer. PS is dead so new one on order. Will try to make new hutch shims, the new height is working better. Did get nap in, but working electric splitter in drizzle did not excite me. Did not cool dinner, wife wanted to go out. Big local issue here was trying to establish ESD district to upgrade VFD, but it was voted down. Wonder how people will feel when their house burns down?

We got a few flakes, but it didn’t stay. -4°C right now, (about 25°F). Good thing I got the Sea-Doos winterized today!

Yep. Lakeshore will be frozen, and I still have some stuff to do! Fortunately, however things will be warming up above freezing for a while for a few days.

 

[ronjhall]

Hot coffee taste very good to me. 31° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 44° with partly cloudy skies. Picked up table saw. Then worked on picking up fence. Got about 1/2 done and needed a rest. Went inside and took a couple hour nap. Neighbor helped me unload saw. Said he could use a saw like that. Made me an offer. Sold. Need to get back at fence later today. Fence line I took down is in todays picture and last weeks drone picture. About 700'. Grocery shopping this morning.
Leaves all fell off this tree overnight.

RNG, I thought this little guy would be a good picture for your "Hang in there Friday is coming" posts. Sassy chased it up into the grass. It got away later.

Everyone stay healthy and safe.

Good Morning All.

 

[Buppies]

34 high 50 today next week back in the 60s no wonder I’m sick

Prayers for all
