55 and rain off and on...maybe up to 73. Buppies, I'm with you...NC Bar B Que is my favorite especially Eastern NC style...great places from Durham to Wilson to Greenville...spicy vinegar sauce...not sweet. Thomas, never thought of giving bubble baths to my equipment. Phil, great job on that...

55 drizzle up to 61. Plowhog, yep, next week is puppy pick up...going over today to play. Phoebes under the shelter hatched yesterday...won't be long until fledging, and I can get back to my splitter for a load of rounds I need to split. Saw a baby Mockingbird on the driveway yesterday, too...

Watched this jet yesterday while working in the garden. I know teenagers like doing donuts in parking lots, but didn't know you could do it with jets.

56 going to 85. Maybe rain tonight...we need it. Pretty flowers, Ron. Lubed the tractor, attached the tiller, and tilled the garden. First time I've peeled off the black landscape cloth in a couple of years. It was about 89F when I reinstalled it...hot. Ready to plant this morning.

56 to 89/Sunshine forecasted. Plowhog, I bet watching those goslings was fun. Ron, sorry about that tree branch. Glad you could fix it. Dentist yesterday, then misc. chores. Stopped by TSC...aisles so filled with pallets of items, could hardly walk through them sideways...but still didn't...

Small waterfall on the way down, and then Apple Orchard, 200' falls.

We saw a Raven fly up and feed its two chicks in this nest up high on a cliff.

Here is just one of the spots full of mayapple (mandrake) on the trail. Trillium in the background.

63 heading to 83. Looks cloudy as dawn approaches. Ron and others, good thoughts on medical business. We've been in-between PCP for several years...the practice we used for years closed, and since have not found a new one. There is one practice that friends just switched to that specializes in...

60 going to 86. Hit 89.6 yesterday. Normal is low 70s. Scott, hotter up here than down in Florida where you are. Buppies, hope you got some sleep last night and not hurting too bad today. Drinking a newly roasted coffee today...one I plan to submit to a contest in California for judging...

BEF, is that the car your son was driving? Yikes. Plowhog, I've seen geese win most battles. Chaos...good term. Just e-filed my state tax return...due Wednesday. I originally mailed it on March 14...but the check has still not cleared...$5.00 owed...TurboTax charged me $25 to efile a $5 tax...

63 going to nasty 90. Buppies, hope it goes well. Spent too much time in the garden and string trimming yesterday. Sore today.

55 going to 85, 90 tomorrow? Got less than 0.1 in of rain yesterday, but stayed drizzly most of the day. BEF, thanks for the Ellicott City pix and update. Gravity and water are so powerful. Geologists say the Blue Ridge used to be taller than the Rocky mountains...erosion takes its toll...

Mostly, how do you fix a bicycle warped rotor? Sodamo, glad you're coming back to life. Ellicott looks good. Buppies, NO 90's until you pay me the big snow you owe. 😁 Driver's License...clearly too easy to obtain...based on the way I see young folks drive (and adults, too, maybe me...

50 going to 66, cloudy. RNG, hope you enjoyed the strawberry festival. Sounds nice. Two bit, sounds like you know a lot about civics and government. Nice that you stepped in to speak. Has it recovered from the flood? Did they install any floodwalls? There is a small town in western Virginia...
