Pebbles on me, Tiger on the stove.

Coffee is brewing. 25° with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 44° with clearing skies. Got garden pond ready for the winter. Should not need any more done until next year. Need to check and clean eavestroughs and downspouts when it warms up today. Then make sure I have everything for tomorrow's dinner.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

Wishing you and your bride many many more trips around the sun hand in hand wngsprd.

Good morning! 60˚F heading to the mid 80s with a S wind. This cold and warm weather is really confusing the trees, my Red Bud tree is blooming.

Finished removing the lava rock from the fire pit, I ran out of buckets and had to start using garbage bags. The round fire pit has a 4' diameter and is 1' below grade and has tile sides and floor. It has a drain in the middle and I do not know where it terminates. My next mystery to solve. The gas shutoff was found in the attic - pic shows it on the far right - valve is turned off.

Our next chance of rain if forecast for next Tuesday and Wednesday, 40%. Lately it has to be 70% or higher before we get rain of any significant amount.

28F partly cloudy low 40's for high.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today...4 hours at part store,afternoon pickup for state inspection appointment,if enough daylight left couple things need attention before tomorrow nasty storm arrives.

Enjoy your day all.

32 outside right now, heading to mid 50's. Rain moving into the area over the holiday.

Dermo check went well. Then went shopping with the wife for Milk House stuff. She settled on some blinds at HD, but unfortunate when we got home, it looks like a no go. Seems no one makes corded blinds anymore. The window heights are not conducive to fully opening a blind as one cannot reach that high. Motorization is the other option. Looks like more shopping is in order.

Today I think I'll paint the ceiling I just patched up and clean up a door for the bathroom. Waiting on the frame to hang that. Still need a cabinet build out around the water heater and some tile work on the kitchenette custom frame I made. May run out on Friday and see what is available at the local tile shop. Not much left in there to do....LOL.

Hope all have a good holiday tomorrow. We celebrated this past weekend at my middle daughters house. It was a first for her, hosting and all of us together. It was nice and, different in a good way.

Here is to family and friends. Be safe in all doings, today. Hope all traveling get where they want to be.

29 going to 56 but no wind.

Don, that's a lot of rocks. Hope it all works when you're done. A couple of branches on our pear tree flowered a couple of weeks ago.

Did a mega dump run yesterday and short hike to exercise Della. Cleaned, primed and painted the trim on the barn. Clean shiny white always looks so nice.

We went with Hunter Douglas motorized blinds. Cordless battery operated. The initial charge has lasted 5 months and they are still operating. We raise and lower them every day. One wireless control controls 6 zones, we have one or two window blinds in each zone. You can also control the blinds with a phone app.
Second pic is the retractable charging cable.

Good morning, the low is 29 and going to a high of 37°F. Wind WSW 13 gusting to 19 mph. 40% chance of flurries.
We got about 2" of fluffy white snow last evening and overnight.
With the temperature going up to 37, I wont plow until after I see the vampire this morning, maybe.

Have a safe day all

Good to know.

I told my wife we have step stools, that did not go over very well.

My MIL will be spending time with us, starting next month, currently we have two controllers in the space. A third looks like it is the only other option.

These "treatments" are danged pricey. LOL. You really cannot see with a good LOS into the Milk House, but.....women...ya know...
