Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

58F and "Fair" @ 22:15, heading down to a low of 57F overnight. Good chance of showers developing after midnight.

Spent some time on the phone calling around for prices, mix of good news and not-so-good news: found a good source on 1's and 2's at a reasonable price (half the price of the guys I normally have used), ready-mix is ... rather pricey ... right now ...

Found out the one ready-mix supplier I contacted does not have their own pumper trucks but did get a couple of names of companies to contact so will need to follow up.

Got hopper and 1 suet feeder refilled first thing after I went outside.

Really too wet to work down around the barn so decided to screen that clay.

Dropped a bucketload of screened compost/manure in the depression where the old apple tree was:

​

Woman spread that out with the bow rake and I ran over it with the Kubota to compact it. Still needs another bucketload and some additional work before it gets seeded.

Got a little better than half the pile of clay screened and moved down to the barn:

​

Probably finish screening the rest of it tomorrow and move it down.

Woman ran out and got more gas and diesel and took the garbage up to the can at the road while she was at it.

With the rain and cooler temps the grass is growing really fast, will probably mow again tomorrow.

On one of my last trips back up Mom and the three kids were out looking for tasty treats. Ended up getting pretty close to them before they scattered and headed off towards the front yard.

​

Hope everyone had a great day ...

David, take your time on the cleanout project. Those types of jobs always morph into bigger projects.

Already did, Ted. This will be measured in weeks, not days with a complete go thru all areas, inside and out. Already got a false start a couple of time with just the idea of picking up and then next day get distracted. Not this time. Could still morph bigger as I do have my eye on Sophie’s suggest to add more roof, but wouldn’t think of doing that until the rest is in order.

Good early (Tuesday) evening and I'm back from Launceston. Spring may be 'in the air' but Winter reminded that it's not gone yet with an early morning Low of -0.5C. The light frost quickly dissipated under a clear sky and light breeze. Cool day with a top of 13C. The roads were dry & clear for the mid-morning drive.

And the visit to the Big Smoke went surprisingly quick! Basically a few minutes in each of the 'shops' to get the things that I wanted or answers to questions... I still had over 2 hours left on my parking docket.

Take care all.

Any that you can recommend? Most of us have legs that are getting older.

In my case I have a problem with the knee cap on the left leg not tracking correctly causing pain when walking and especially stepping up on stairs. Strengthening muscles around the knee can help pull it into alignment. I picked a few exercises to focus on in the beginning and that has helped to where I can walk without pain and has also improved my ability to walk on stairs and my balance. I would say look at a few videos and pick a few of the activities to focus on and stick with it until you see improvements in strength and balance

67 outside this AM. Rain came through yesterday. It was a soaker event. Then more last night. Should be around upper 70's today. Need to move some animals around so that the roofers don't get bothered tomorrow.

Not much else on the agenda.

Last night while feeding the animals I stopped and watched the sun set. It was worth it, but the grass needs to be cut.....again. LOL.



Hope all have a great day today. Be safe.

Good Morning, 64F going to 75 today. No rain in the forecast. Not much is planned today other the normal household activities.
Got the bivalent booster shot yesterday at our recently completed library in our small town Myersville.
One of the original Trolley cars that ran between Frederick and Hagerstown was restored and placed inside the library. The trolley car dates back to the early 1900's. The rail line for the trolley actually ran across our farm land. The farm at the time was over 200 acres and included the area with highway 40 and the rail line running parallel to it

64° got another .5” rain yesterday.

Nice trolley car. Thurmont has one. I almost bought land outside myersville years ago when I was looking.
