Good morning, I have been making the most of this dry weather by starting the first mortar mix before breakfast these last few days. Today was to have been a welcome break with the grandkids coming. That has now been cancelled because some children in my daughter's class had to be sent home from school. With Covid-19 cases rapidly increasing throughout the country this last week, she doesn't want to risk passing anything on to us until she hears the test results.

RS.... "The Hosta man"... kinda has a neat ring to it!

LS, alas, soon the leaves on his favourite plant will be dying back until next year. Did you know that RS walks up to each and every one of them and with his best Arnold Schwarzenegger impression, tenderly say farewell with the words ... "Hosta la vista, baby".

PJ, I agree about scythes being fascinating. One of the real skills with them (which I haven't mastered) is how to put on a good edge without removing metal. The honing stone has to be used regularly, then the not so obvious secret is peening with a hammer to keep stretching out the blade. Peening and Sharpening - Scythe Cymru

Good morning. Over the last 2 days I mowed the front and west side. In the back the crew has a pile of tree limb and logs to remove. Water oaks, they only last 30-40 years and they showed a lot of damage already. Hate to see any tree cut down tho.
The east side has most of the trees, I stopped counting. Costs us approx. 800 per to down and remove. Ugh. 3 down cause they were leaning and suspect and to make room for the barn and horse stall. Another 2 need to come down later, where the shed is, they are also pretty iffy looking and leaning.
Well 1 & 1/2 of our 3 acres took me hour and a half and couple gallons of gas. The "dressage court" seemed to go on forever. Back and forth, back and forth, ... repeat. 54" deck is earning it's oats!

61 out now going up only to 68, cloudy and windy day, but dry for next week.
Farmers need that to dry out from TS Sally.

David, good news on screening, colorectal cancer is a big deal, we can't ignore it. Glad there is a less obnoxious alternative test.
Chuck, tree surgeons seem to place an emphasis on the "surgeon" part and charge accordingly. But with tall trees or leaners near the home or barn, really need to get a pro.
Mostly, sounds like nice weather for a ride.
Thomas, moose pics would be cool

have been up most of night with headache, guess I'll have the chemo blues for awhile but at least this is the last of it.
going to shower and go out for a nice walk on a cool morning
little Vornado heater on in rv keeping things comfortable here.
Have a nice weekend guys

Felt good outside at 49 and a breeze. Only looking for 64 today.

Wife and I went for a nice walk yesterday...saw some interesting mushrooms after the recent rains. Our big black snake was on the back steps yesterday...we think it comes around the house in the fall looking for a way to get under the house, which it has done before. My wife doesn't like the idea, but I think they make better mousers than cats, so I'm neutral.

Got some mowing and maybe a little chain saw work today.

Leaners are a concern. One neighbor, not near, had one fall on house and car.

Poured first cup of hot coffee. 30° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 62° with plenty of sun. Little frost on the pumpkins this morning. Shopping trip went well. Did not get trimming done. Back on list for today when it warms up a little.
Covid 19 update. Michigan cases 127,500. Deaths 6,954. Oakland county cases 19,828. Deaths 1,191. Total test in Michigan 3,602,456. Oakland County 417,011.
Put bird feeders out and the birds will come.

Drew, more good news health reports. :thumbsup:

RS, glad bees are gone. Gardens are looking good. Another week of 11%. I have a new weed torch. Need to use it on fencelike. Today may be the day. Warmth and weed control at one time.

LS, lots of putter projects. :thumbsup: Hope they all workout.

Eric, GK cancel not good. Hope they are all negative.

David, good results. I wonder after 5 camera probes that showed nothing. Maybe I should ask for mail in. :confused3: Picture is great.

Randy, I am with you on the flavored coffee's. They all leave a smell that seems to linger all day.

Thomas, good you got your conserve energy day.

Buckeye, neat flower picture.

Don, winter planting?

Everyone be healthy and safe.

Good Morning All.

32 right now...high in the mid-50's today. Some frost, but not too bad
Chores: Dump Run, finish up replacing the curtain rods...those are the priorities. Wanted to get a haircut, but the barbershop never returned my call for an appointment.
Don't see any need for mowing the lawn this weekend, but getting the chipper in the shed is a chore for this afternoon or tomorrow
