Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

Sun has finally come out ... but unfortunately the temp already has fallen to 48F ...

Critters all fed and back from trip to Menards for order pick up, even managed to remember to grab a small sanding drum and a 3/8" router bit, both for the barn owl box.

11% Rebate extended for another week ...

Not gonna unload the order though - I'd have to put the box blade and forks on (it's palletized) and it's getting a little chilly out there.

Besides that, I don't really have any place to put the pallet other than over in the pole barn and several items need to stay over here at the house to be put together anyways ... so just leave it in the van until tomorrow, when it's warmer and sunny.

Will go ahead and get the rebate form filled out and envelope addressed, stick the receipts in, and a stamp put on it though.

Grabbed some Mickey D's for dinner on the way home.

Got a call from The Woman a little bit ago wanting to know "Who does this song ?" (It was AC/DC - "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" ... )

She's on her way home now ... and will (hopefully) be bearing gifts of a Hot Fudge/Peanut Butter Malt from the local creamery when she arrives ...

LoL.
Mostly, very glad to hear about wifey.

Hooray! We got 3.3" of much needed rain. I'm burning a pile of mostly oak scraps. Got the HF engine going on the tiller. Too wet to till.
Son went fishing, but we had a river flowing into and out of the pond yesterday, so no luck. We have so much duckweed.

I miss Ron too. Hope he's doing well.

We got less than 1/4" Kyle. It all went .. both north and south of us.

Glad you did well.

Drew, Bet you would have loved Keukenhof. We did

Welcome to Keukenhof

Discover Keukenhof, the most beautiful spring garden in the world! 🌸🌷🌼

keukenhof.nl

I've been to the Keukenhof Gardens many times from the 70's onward. Patricia got to see them, first hand, three years ago. We were there in early Spring and you drive thru miles and miles of tulip fields to get there.

It's an easy drive SW from Amsterdam and near the village of Lisse.

Randy, sorry to hear you are back in the hospital. Prayers and well wishes sent...priority!

Spent most of the day planting 50 Austrian Pine seedlings in grow bags. They will spend full season in them, until at least next spring. I had to run out and get more potting mix....

I didn't get any pics today.... so tomorrow morning....

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Sure wish Ron would come back.... I / we truly enjoyed his posts and pics...
