54F, cloudy, and damp @ 11:45, headed up to a high of 60F for the day. Possibility of showers later towards evening. Nearest local station shows nothing so far today for precip but 0.72" for yesterday and 0.21" for the day before that. There are puddles of standing water in the yard.
Rain will be ending today, and then the WU Ten Day shows a long period with low chances of precip ... that does not jive with the local weather guessers. Will be interesting to see who comes closer to being correct. Forecast shows freezing low temps due next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Refilled hopper feeder yesterday afternoon. Lots of activity out at feeders now, including a red-bellied woodpecker. Some sort of woodpecker hitting the cedar siding outside right now.
Appears that the large Japanese yew at the southeast corner of the house is popular spot to roost.
UPS delivered the 3rd order from Holland about an hour ago. Still have one left to go from them (peonies, Orenipet lilies, and the rest of the irises) This one is mostly just more bulbs ... but there are 7 new day lilies in it as well ... so I'll be needing to get those in the ground asap.
Sun making an attempt to shine through the clouds right now.
Got the furnace filter cleaned yesterday, it had been months since it had been cleaned and it was pretty dirty. Hopefully it is dry by now so I can reinstall it today. Need to set a monthly reminder to clean it on my calendar.
Squeak out in garage on safari.
Since it's going to be relatively warm today, I may work on getting some more plants in the ground.
Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe Saturday ...
