Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good morning to all! Low of 36, going up to 70 again. Supposed to be very windy, I hope it does not get too bad.

Drew, glad to hear the epidural shot is working. Please take it easy while packing, no lifting heavy boxes...

Eric, thanks for the plant info. We have not seen those here, she is going to research getting seeds and if they will survive here.

Bruce, the pond will loose about 5 gal / day to evaporation when the humidity is really low (5-15%). The last few days the humidity has been about 25-30%, and it really did not drop more than a 1/4 inch. When it is windy, the little waterfalls splash out a bit more too.

Ron, I am surprised your Covid19 numbers are that high (for just county) our whole state just surpassed 2210 cases, 65 deaths. Our county (Santa Fe) only has 93 cases and 0 deaths.

Don, surprised your numbers are also low, I guess rural living has another perk!

Our numbers get released at 10 am. I expect we will top 15000 today, with close to 700 in the county.

A clear and sunny 27ºF for today’s low. With clear skies predicted yesterday and low dew point I was surprised the temperature was not lower. A clear and sunny 33ºF presently; Dew Point @ 7ºF and I anticipate increasing clouds this PM with high temperature approaching 50ºF. And tonight the rain begins maybe a mix of snow in the beginning.

My grocery shopping experience was interesting. People tended to stay ~10’ away, no one would give me direct eye contact, and a couple of customers turned around when they saw me coming down the aisle. The pharmacy staff thought it was hilarious = I will probably do this again . C-19 numbers are still going up in MA. I did not check today, but western MA may have 2 more weeks before the C-19 peaks.

Randy- I hope that the docs and you et a handle on the afib. Nice looking driveway.

Rick- I am enjoying your tree cleanup project pictures.

David- I am happy that Sophie’s conjunctivitis is clearing up. Thanks for sharing her double rainbow picture.

Ted- Thanks for sharing your landscaping project. It looks great.

Drew- I am happy to read that your epidural went smoothy.

Bill- Groundhogs eat pizza. Pizza-loving groundhog caught eating slice

BEF- I am glad that your BIL made the news in a anonymous + manner and I hope that your Sister also + responds to treatment.

I hope that everyone is having a manageable day.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

54°F and rain this morning, going up to 62° today. Looks like we get a pause in the rain late afternoon. Which is good, as I need to make a trip to Tractor Supply after work today to get chicken feed.

Medford OR used to be the home of Musician's Friend, a mail order catalog company selling musical instruments and accessories. I believe they shuttered that facility about 10 years ago and moved operations to CA to consolidate with their parent company Guitar Center. Been getting their catalogs and buying from them since I was a teenager.

Glad you're feeling better, Drew.

36 going up to 59 Light hail when I took the dog for a walk.
The ferns are all up or getting there and it looks like we did not get the frost we were warned about.
This weekend will be planting so I hope we get no more crazy temperature dips. Pretty late for frost here.
Put fencing and coffee grounds around some plants the deer were trimming down, but see one in the camera at 4am right next to the fencing, so I guess that didn't work. Even the dog doesn't seem to bother them much and she is a corgi who wants to go round them up!
Fewer squirrels and rabbits this spring, fox must be getting his fill.
Drew, glad to hear your procedure went well, hope the pain goes away soon.
Watching all the projects on TBN gets me in a mood to finish some trails I want to put in for biking. Only have 6 acres, so I will need to loop a bit to make them any length.

Stay well and be safe

45F (supposedly) and bright sun ... although WeatherBug reports current conditions as being "cloudy" ... :confused2:

Was just outside while driver delivered ORD and it sure didn't seem that cool ... guess the sun makes quite a bit of difference.

Supposed to get to around 60F today, with rain starting around 16:00 or 17:00 ... so may have to work a little seat time in on that basis. Ground is still wet enough though that I want to stay off the lawn.

Still have plenty to do inside so no biggie.

A good bit of rain in the forecast for this coming week ... so grass will continue to grow ...

Hope everyone has a productive and enjoyable day.

Stay safe out there.

Almost 11000 CV19 cases in Va now steadily increasing local hospitals have cases in both hospitals employees too

 

[daugen]

I wonder if the steady increase in numbers is simply because there are more test kits becoming available. Jumped again here to 16 today.
even your cat can get it, as well as big cats in the zoo. Bronx zoo tigers and lions tested positive. I wonder how it got to them.

raining gently out

 

[buckeyefarmer]

We jumped up 960 more today. More testing = more results. Over 2600 negative tests yesterday.
