48F and sunny @ 08:30, headed up to a high of 67F supposedly.

Got another 7 strawberry plants potted last night before I ran out of soil in the bucket here in the house. Didn't feel like navigating the obstacle course in the garage to go get more so called it quits.

Got a bunch more plant labels made up including for all The Woman's dahlias, but now running low on labels.

Hopper feeder refilled first thing. Added raisins this time but forgot to soak them in hot water before I did. Might see about relocating it, along with the nyjer feeders later today.

Next on the menu is a trip to Menards since the orders are ready.

Beyond that some weeding around peach tree on the east side of the front lawn and maybe get some more bulbs planted there after adding some screened compost.

Finish potting the last couple of strawberry plants.

Move plants around back where they will get more sun.

Possibly finish coring the front.

Then later start mowing up at the top where it should be drier.

Have some PT 2 x 4's I need to cut for the new frame for the soil screener as well.

Hoping for good resolutions for top, Buppies, and Roy.

I've been pretty happy with Merrill Moab shoes, in spite of the reviews that complain about them falling apart.

What model Merrill boots have you been wearing, Buppies?

61°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 84° today. We got a little rain overnight, so everything was wet this morning.

Boss already told me he's playing golf today. Jerk.

Got a bunch of stuff done after work last night. Washed some eggs, put away the clean dishes from the dishwasher, did a couple loads of laundry, and still found time to record some guitar solos, keyboard, and cello tracks for a cover song project. Productive evening.

Always love seeing enthusiastic young QC guys, Paul. I also fondly remember from 50-ish years ago that same enthusiasm for time spent with my grandfather on his tractor.

two misfocused pictures....
first are tulips on corner of Street and 202 in Lahaska, and second are two brown nuts that somehow found their way into the mower engine.
As in tree nuts. And of course that star drive fitting is one size larger than any of the bits I have so I ordered a new star drive assortment.
Need to get the top off to get those nuts out before they get all over the place
Mr squirrel, bad idea....

66°F and 1.13 inches rain.
2nd booster yesterday. Feel fine except mild headache and a bit blah. Think I’ll take an ibuprofen and ease into the day. Most people we have seen at clinic in all 4 shots. Looking around I remarked it must be Seniors Day. No DQ as we would have had to wait more than an hour to open.

Guys won H&F last night after a very nice meal.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I believe mine are the Merrill Moab, I really like them.

I just looked and mine are Merrill Moab. They spend a lot of time in the woods and in mud and are holding up ok.
These are waterproof version, so a bit warm in summer.

Good afternoon! Low this morning was 50°, hit our high of 80°. Currently in the midst of another dust storm.... highest gust so far was 60mph, but some areas just to the north of here hit 72 mph! Now they are saying the wind will continue into tomorrow.

Ran into town and did some errands, the whole city was under a cloud of dust....it's statewide... saw on the news they issued a "dust storm warning " up around the four corners area. First time I have ever seen a true 'warning'.

The wildfires are again "blowing up", severely out of control. Aircraft are grounded (of course), winds just fanning the flames.... There are attempts to evacuate multiple towns/communities. Not gonna end well......

They finally arrested a woman for starting the fire at our local Walmart last November. It took long enough.... and only happened because she returned to the same Walmart and was caught shoplifting..... but she escaped and a short police pursuit ensued. A 30 y/o meth head.....

I think I am going to re-start my property search......

A question for my friends in Texas..... what is the area east / SE of the DFW like? Is it really green? If it is green, are there many severe storms? Another area I'm considering is the S and SW of DFW. Same type of terrain and weather?

Time to go get a snack and relax.
