Coffee has finished brewing. 31° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 54° with sun in AM. Could in PM. After finding new vacuum hose. Did repairs to old hose. Wind was bad. Made it hard to do much outside. Still have a basket of laundry to fold and put away. Will get new pond vacuum out and do some more cleanup on garden pond. Lot of leaves got blown into it yesterday.
Found a new place to perch.

Mostly, I think Sandhill cranes take turns sitting on the nest eggs this time of year.

Everyone stay safe well.

Good Morning All.

70 going to 79, maybe rain later.

Scotty, deck progress looking good.

Sounds like your stepdaughter knows how to feed a hungry man, Mostly.

Caught a blacksnake under the house and took him out to the field on the edge of where I had just bush hogged. Went back in 15 minutes and it had already traveled 50 yards into the wind and pulled a baby rabbit out of its nest. Wife said the pix I sent made her sad. She is at son's baby sitting.
