55*F headed to upper 60's today. Lawn mowing is on the early afternoon agenda.

Yesterday's rain really brought out the green, and yes, the black flies too. Tis the season.

Sorry about the frosted tomato plants Looking4New. Pickle Lake is the end of the road! Maybe you can post some pics when you get the chance. Watchout for the mooses.
"Pickle Lake is a township in the Canadian province of Ontario, and is the most northerly community in the province that has year-round access by road."

I've got a few pics from my tour to Savant lake last year. Savant Lake is 1/2 way between Pickle Lake and Ignace, ON. I gotta watch out for Mooses even down here where I am. I suppose should start a new thread.

Well, so much for Plan B - no slab today. Not having enough material, I went to HD, figuring I'd get enough Quikcrete to finish my slab, no expecting them to not have enough. Plan C, up early tomorrow, trip to quarry then back home to mix and pour. Will cost me an extra day rental for the bull float :(

Not sure when I posted here last...

I mowed like crazy yesterday. much of the grass was so long I had to mow it twice!

The weather has been AMAZING, I've had every window open constantly for almost 3 days. Actually NEEDED a blanket last night!

Our Pastor retired and gave his final sermon today (he was here for 34 years) and there was a picnic afterwards. It was very nice.

After I got back home I switched out implements until I had the grapple ad bush hog on. I bush hogged for a couple hours.

Now I'm drinking scotch I got for my birthday and debating what to eat...

Be well al!
David

We cleaned out the goat shed and chicken barn today. Got it all shoveled out, then washed it down. This gives me a good compost pile, it will take 2 or 3 years to rot up. Then I cleaned up my neighbor's place a bit. A appraisor is coming tommorrow, and I wanted to make the place look better. It looked pretty sad, the family had come and grabbed a bunch of stuff, but left a mess behind. Hopefully, we will have good neighbor's coming in, I've met them, they seem alright. Tommorrow, I have my workout, then I have some mowing to do.

David, it sounds like you are having a good time. Don't be in a rush for anything, I think it will all work out. You not working is really gonna send the ex to be into a bad place... :)

32 right now...a real drop in morning temperatures! The high today is going to be 64 with a 10% chance of rain.

Sunday was a beautiful day...bit cool and breezy, but beautiful. I mowed the field (finish mower) and tried to mow some bamboo with my cutter. The ground under the bamboo was way too sandy (a result of Hurricane Irene and flooding a few years ago) and I was rutting the ground more then mowing the bamboo. I was more successful in mowing other areas too rough for the finish mower.
There's also a lot of downed trees (again, from Irene) that I need to drag out....that will be good firewood.

51 degrees and heading to the high 60’s later today, but partly clouding with chance of showers.
We’re heading north today to open camp and spend the week up there, bit cooler but it will be nice to be in the mountains.
Finish putting most of the garden in yesterday, mowed the lawns, trimmed the edges and put things away for the week.
plus loading the truck for the trip north.

41 chilly degrees and some patchy frost out. Don't remember getting frost this late before. Looking forward to the sunny 73 forecasted.

Coffee cup if full. 37° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 69° with sunny skies this morning. Heading to Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly, MI.To attend a memorial service for my uncle who died last week. He was a World War II Veteran. RIP Uncle Bob.
Good Morning All.

brrrr.....39 degrees going up to 72. Hopefully the last cold morning, though having the windows open a little is great. Unlike David/MF, if I opened all my windows I would do nothing but sneeze. For those of us allergy sufferers, the day after a rainstorm is wonderful. But then...so my house stays pretty much closed up and the whole house filtration system does a good job of cleaning the air for me. My father had to take shots for hay fever, clearly he gave the sensitivity to me. Another reason having a cab tractor now will make mowing the fields easier.
