50F and cloudy @ 07:30, will likely stay cloudy until around 12:00 then might see a a few breaks until around 14:00 or so ... but is expected to cloud up after that with rain moving in around 21:00. Looks like it will be a two day rain event, with around 1 1/2" of rain over that time.
Woman just walked into the room in a complete fog and asked me if I had just yelled really loud.
"Ahh ... no. You must have been dreaming really good." ... to which she agreed. I now hear the coffee grinder going ...

...
Deer still dropping by for free treats, with some indications here and there that they are still tearing up the lawn looking for grubs:
Watched the Nova special on PBS about cats last night. Squeak was laying on my lap and heard a "meow" and promptly hopped down and went over in front of the TV and sat down and intently watched it, fascinated, without moving anything but her head for about 5 minutes:
I got another pan of soil baked and sifted for potting purposes later after that, also filled 6 ten-cell peat pot trays with soil. Still have enough leftover to do some more. Probably use those to plant some catnip, cat mint, coleus, and lavender this morning while it's warming up outside.
Being up this early on what promises to be a relatively decent day weather-wise holds the prospect of getting a lot done. I hope that pans out.
The battery for The Woman's new cultivator is now charged so I'm sure She will give it a thorough test run later.
Should be dry enough to get some more bulbs planted today.
A few more planting beds need the leaves cleaned off them.
Some of the day lily clumps on the north side of the garage might get dug up and transplanted around that redbud tree.
Maybe get that handheld sprayer loaded with some glyphosate and spray a few areas since there's not supposed to be much wind.
Beyond that we'll have to see what turns up.
Hope everyone has a great Thursday ...
