66F and sunny @ 12:00, headed up to a high of around 74F.

Hummer out again at the suet feeder over the kitchen sink window this morning ... not sure what he's gonna do with that. Must like that red suet cage.

Had strong winds yesterday afternoon with a fairly brief heavy downpour which tapered off to a light but steady rain. Couple more good downpours after that while I was over at a friends, but not as strong as the initial one.

Then another shot late last night where the wind blew and it just poured for a bit ... maybe 10 minutes or so.

Checking local weather stations accumulation looks to have only been around 0.20" though. Possible we may have gotten more locally here at the house.

At any rate, no doubt that it gave the lawn a decent watering.

More rain on tap for tomorrow and Saturday.

Calling for a high temp on Saturday of only 53F ??? ... :oops:

No work on plumbing got done as other things came up.

Did assist The Woman late last evening on getting two of her pots planted with annuals yesterday, still have one to do today myself. Will probably also have to make up some cages out of hardware cloth to keep the chipmunks out of them.

Also helped her weed the area next to the steps where her Stella D'Oro Lilly is planted. It has really started to thrive this year.

UPS truck is in the neighborhood with the part from Chapin ... (y)

Might work on that later this evening.

Have some spraying to do today, now that the areas I previously hit are starting to die off and I can see what was done.

Probably should also get started on weeding the planting beds that need it.

Hopper feeder likely needs refilled. Probably put out some mealworms for the bluebirds.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ... (y)

and RS, Ron and others in Mid West, be extra careful of ticks:

Drew,

Thanks for the heads up ... good to know ... (y)

Although typically we really don't see much in the way of ticks around here, that's not to say they are non-existent. Certainly could be different this year ... will keep an eye out.

Glad you got a decent amount of rain ... hope the shoulder greatly improves soon.

Our yard was in dire need of mowing, but we've just had too much rain, and more in the forecast for tomorrow and the next few days. So while it wasn't raining today, I tried out the EGO mower right on through the water, and with the bagger. I've got a couple of VERY heavy contractor bags full of clippings, but almost nothing stuck to the bottom of the mower.:D

Ticks are plentiful here also,trimming edge front field Tuesday remove 6 of those buggers. :(

Nope, it was a very sweet sympathy card...something I'll treasure and put it with Bella's collar and favorite squeaky toy. Damn sure brought the tears back...
Few words can say a lot towards cherish memories.

68F few puffy clouds here and there with light wind,almost 180 degree from yesterday weather might even get frost in the north country.

One of the fox pups kept close watch on me more so when I trim around the road culvert...home away from from for the the pup it seems.
Good day all in all...Trip to town with extra stop plus critter food with no goof ups...Trim and mow the lawn today for tomorrow calling for damp afternoon...This evening feet up share bowl ice cream with kitten try NOT to fall sleep in recliner. ;)

Enjoy your evening all.
