Saw a bald eagle on way to church yesterday evening. It flew from some roadkill and landed in nearby tree, didn’t get a picture. Right before I saw it, a deer was on the road, so we were focused on it at first.

How could you tell he was on the way to church?

Today was harvest day at the farm. The combine pulled in just as I was starting to mow the lawn. The amazing thing is we finished at the same time. That thing is huge. My little green machine felt right at home with all the big green machines. Very nice afternoon but goodness harvesting soy beans is dusty. The farmer said he will be planting wheat as a cover crop tomorrow. I'd rather have more daylight in the afternoon there is always more to do.

55F and "Fair" @ 18:00, heading down to a low of 42F tonight. Hibiscus - and the new banana tree Woman brought home yesterday - can probably stay outside.

Got those four day lilies from Menards dug up and divided in two, except for the largest one which I got three divisions out of, and got all planted.

Also divided the Black-eyed Susan and got 4 divisions out of that and also got all those planted. Planting bed is nearly full except for the one end (which will get a hydrangea when I get a chance), and the bulbs.

Only thing left in pots to plant is the three hemlock, one Salvia, and a Lilly of some type, possibly Asiatic. Will get those tomorrow.

Neighbor's grandson stopped down just as it was getting dark, needed some dirt for a job he was doing. Hooked him up .... in exchange for some climbing work taking down some dead limbs on the trees ...

Large oak southeast of the house is the worst, lots of large dead limbs which have made me hesitant to get under it to work.

Woman just took the trash up to the road, will be bringing home a Roman Burger for dinner ...

She tried to bring me home sausage gravy and biscuits from Bob Evans when she was out earlier. The doofuses forgot to include the sausage gravy but remembered the biscuits. And someone did not check the order before they left the premises ...

Hope everyone had a great day ...

Cause last week we saw it fly over the church building.

Thanks Drew,
Not particularly happy with way panel worked out. Panel placement mostly dictated by what is on backside

Originally, I figured I’d be custom building the cabinets. If I’d had another 24” vs the 30” that would have worked.
That said, I’m still quite pleased with my $200 find.

I did get the makai (oceanside) base units installed today. Cabinets actually get fastened thru the drywall to the container via lag bolts into predrilled holes. I have to research my photos, hoping I have one that shows what I need to know.

I guess the container isn’t actually anchored itself, the 20x8 container sits on concrete foundation blocks. The 8ft extensions each end are anchored to the concrete slab.

Good evening all. 48F for the start, mostly clear sky, light breeze. moderate wind with some brisk gusts, partly cloudy sky, and high temp of 71F, DP 54F. Started knocking down gopher mounds so I could mow, then mowed part of the front, lot of leave to pick up. Bike ride after lunch, then nap. Conserved energy rest of day.
Covid update: Cooke 4190 confirmed cases, 18 active cases, Montague 2662 confirmed cases, 16 active cases, Grayson, 16,330 confirmed cases, 102 active cases. Cooke 0, Montague 0, Grayson 0, new cases. Grayson number still don't add up, but getting closer

good morning all
going to be nice weather for next two days, mid sixties both days, hope to get some outside work done.
Was busy yesterday, cleaned out veggie gardens, put tomato cages and electric fence away for winter, picked some radishes, and mowed/bagged lawn.
My flagstone buddies at church said they were working yesterday afternoon laying down new stone, so today
I'm back to work grouting whatever they got done.

when does it get too cold to put down portland/sand mix?

Rubbermaid has now agreed to send me a fourth garden shed. I almost wish they just gave me a refund.
I could have a reality show on garden shed adventures...
All that non biodegradable plastic going into landfill makes me sad. Obviously not throwing out old one til new one is built and I make
sure it came with the right parts.

Shed 1 destroyed in shipping. Shed 2 lost in shipping. Shed 3 sent with wrong parts.
If this is happening a lot to Rubbermaid, and their online shed reviews honestly aren't very good, I think they may retreat
to food containers in the future. That product they sure do well, perhaps garden sheds were a bad idea for the company.
