It was 38F and sunny @ 13:30, 31F and clear now. Almost made it up to 40F for the day but not quite (39.7F)
Calling for a big cool down tomorrow, high will only reach 31F. Then back up to 40F on Thursday, followed by high 40's and rain on Friday and Christmas Day. So no White Christmas here this year ...
Hopper feeder was still about half full, doves, squirrels, and others feeding earlier. All the whole corn I put out the other day was gone the next morning ... can see lawn was torn up pretty good from the house from all the deer that were out there.
Two of the White Feather Hostas are starting to pop through the soil in the pot they are in. Need to water those today, as the soil mixture in the pot is mostly peat moss and it dries out quickly. Once they all come will probably re-pot them into larger individual containers. Still need to figure where put them once they come are they poisonous to the cats. Might have to put them down in the utility room in the basement, since that can be closed off.
Got a little raking work done yesterday to completely fill in the rest of the holes where daffodils were planted but it was too wet to do much else.
Got a call from a guy at Menards yesterday saying orange driveway markers did not come on their truck, wanted to know what I wanted to do, offered to substitute yellow instead. Told him to leave them on backorder and give me a call when they come in.
Spent most of yesterday working on paperwork though, plus more clean up in basement.
Woman was texting with a dear friend who lost her husband unexpectedly this past year. That turned into FaceTime phone call with us that lasted over an hour and blew a good part of the afternoon. But was good to get caught on how things have been going her and the family. They seem to be doing well.
After that we got those bottom two wires put up on the electric fence today, plus four strings of tin cans.
Then a run over to that hardware store to get the two elbows for the flue for the wood stove, plus another 1' length of stove pipe. Took the recyclables up to the can on our way out to do that.
Woman wanted me to run and grab some Coke since the grocery store was right there. That was questionable ... spent 5 minutes grabbing the Coke and a few other items and then spent better than 20 minutes in the check out line waiting to get rung up.
Stopped by the good Mexican restaurant on the way back since it was close and pretty much right on the way. Good as always.
Guy from car repair shop called yesterday and the call went to voicemail. I'm guessing parts may be in. Got distracted today and forgot to call him back. Will have to do that tomorrow.
Tonight probably work on drilling stove pipe and get that all screwed together and hooked back up.
Hope everyone had a great day ...
