31 right now...high in the upper 30's. We didn't get near what was predicted, as far as snow accumulation...maybe 3" of wet stuff.
We do have a leak in the roof that's dripping through one window casing. I'm pretty sure I know why...just don't think I can do much about fixing it until all the snow is off the roof.
Chores...plow the drive and walks, install a new shower head and see if I can see where the leak originates

Happy Birthday Sophie!
31 here going to the low 40’s. Got a dusting-1/2 inch of snow on the roads and walk, should all melt by itself.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 20° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 47° with lots of sun. No plans for today. Take it as it comes.

Buckeye, Happy Birthday to your Dad. 95. :thumbsup:

Prayers and wishes for those healing.

Good Morning All.

Happy Birthday Sophie, happy birthday Buckeye's Dad.

and a good morning to all the rest of you.
37 going to mid sixties, nice sunny day.

Put up most of my electric fence yesterday, wired it into solar charger and properly zapped myself testing the line. All good. Protecting the beets, carrots and melons. First two stringings are for deer, last one will be down low for the rabbits.

Collards are growing well, actually some pickable leaves. Plan on picking some on Monday to take into food pantry on Tuesday, as a reminder that they need to get volunteers to pick it weekly. Not me. Too much bending over.

cooked the last of a batch of somewhat healthy sausage this morning (no nitrates, nitrites and msg) but 500mg of salt for two eeny weeny pieces tells me that's the last time for that. Have been reading up on low salt diets, headed to supermarket this morning, stocking up on salads, fruit, vegetables, all kind of common sense eating. Started making my own salad dressing with olive oil and apple cider vinegar, with some Dijon mustard in it. Lots of salt in prepared salad dressings, sure am glad I stocked up on that...
I actually grew up eating salads my Father always made the dressing for, in a big wooden serving spoon. Mustard in bottom, olive oil on top and pour apple cider vinegar over it while splashing it around on top of salad. And here I am sixty years later going back to the same recipe. Oh, some fresh squeezed garlic in that spoon also.

Probably will do a little light weeding in the garden around the cabbages, they still aren't big enough to put straw down around. Everything seems to be growing nicely, nothing under 35 in the forecast. April 11 is last freeze day here, but it's been a warm winter relatively so far.

Hope you all enjoy your weekend.

38 and clear going to 58. Nice moon and stars earlier this morning.

Happy World Meteorology Day to Buppies and Jay and others who are students of the atmosphere.

Glad Sophie had a great Birthday, and hope Mr. BEF, Sr. has one today.

Saw the first swallow of the year yesterday. Hummingbirds aren't due for 3 more weeks. Red tail hawks are nesting in our woods in the same nest they have used for several years. Chipmunks playing on the front porch. Yep, life is good.

Lynn, did you get a trail cam for your cougar, yet?

Went to but diesel fuel, chain saw gas and fill up the truck yesterday after a dump run and gym. Wow, gas prices have shot up. I had to make 3 diff purchases, thus swipe my credit card 3 times, since I bought one gallon of premium for the chainsaw, and then filled the truck with regular...the fraud detection system let me use the card twice at the same pump, but not the third time...had to switch to a different card.

Plan today is to split and stack the firewood I cut Wednesday.

I thought there were no rabbits here. While cleaning up this weeks videos. One showed up at 1 am Thursday.

The bright light is a solar motion light I have over cell doors. Hope coyote does not get it.

My breakfast routine with tbn has been delayed this morning as I added to my daily routine with a 2 hour round trip to drop my wife off on a craft course. She is recovering well but can't drive yet, though I'm sure having a day out with friends will cheer her up. For once I will also get to do little grocery shopping without close adult supervision - freestyle shopping trolley packing, here I come


David, I'm a little late with birthday wishes for Sophie, but do tell her, if she enjoyed yesterday so much, do it again soon - that's surely one of the perks of being officially retired !

Good morning! 60˚F heading to the mid 70s. Our 90% chance of rain has diminished to 10% so the plant sale is on.

I did not get to help with the set-up yesterday because they had me doing TRACTOR CHORES.
Some of them were completely unnecessary - like moving the 50' much pile back 2' and moving a 1 ton planter 4 feet but I just smiled and said I can do that!
I had to move a bunch of bags of mulch which I could have made one load with my pickup but made 5 trips with the tractor and no use telling them about pallet forks that would just cut into my seat time.

So I got about 4 hours of seat time in yesterday.

Today my job will be to help people load their plants and traffic control and at the end pick up my signs.

Drew, I picked my first collard leaves yesterday and seamed them and had them for lunch.

Since the big dog died 1.5 years ago, the rabbits have been slowly coming back. Saw some jackrabbit tracks the other day crossing my driveway. Lots of baby cottontail tracks, too. The more rabbits the merrier. Less cat food to buy.

About 5" of snow from yesterday storm.

Plans for today...dump run,fuel for pickup,later afternoon gently remove snow from driveway other than that :confused3:

Enjoy the day all.
