32 going to only 45.

Been watching a pair of rabbits and a pair of raccoons in front of the kitchen. I have to turn the spotlights off when they start to show nervousness...then check on them again in a little while. No skunks in sight.

Ron, that bluebird's likely cold this morning at your 14F temps.

Scott, I had a night about like yours...and woodstove still going strong this morning.

Thanks for the anniversary wishes. I made my wife an anniversary card this morning...we'll head out and explore today a little later.

Ran the zero for a while yesterday to do a final mulching of leaves on the trails. Then took the mulch cover off the deck and cleaned a ton of leaves off of it and me.

Had leftovers for dinner, of course.

Good morning! Happy Anniversary Wngsprds and David hope you have a good first day on your 78th trip around the sun.

36˚F, Easterly breeze, partly cloudy heading to the upper 50s.

Went to the Garden yesterday and weeded it. I'll till it and get it ready for an early spring planting. The settling of the estate and my Surgery have taken priority instead of planting the Fall garden. I have also ended my German streak on Duolingo due to the time I need to study ASL and Physical Therapy. However I am thinking about rejoining the FireWise group after taking a 4 month break while my knee was hurting. This morning I got the location of the next area we are clearing and my knee feels good with no pain pills on board so I think I'm ready to get going again, maybe start out with an hour of work.

Never finished yesterdays post, dog jumped on my lap and I hit send inadvertently.



Moved the walk behind snow blower to its winter home, started on 1st pull . It’s a 20 yr old 13hp 32” Ariens pro model, it only sees light duty now, paths around house and sheds.

Next up is oil change on the BX and put the plow on. Also after 17 yrs the battery finally gave out in the cold and needed a jump lol. ( finally time for a new one)

21° now sunny and upper 30’s today light wind. Dump run this morning and pick up some sand at the highway garage. Not sure what else will get done today.

Happy Anniversary mr and Mrs Wngsprd.

37 going to 53.

Helo, you're right about a cup coffee and long walk.

Glad your families had a nice Thanksgiving and the food sounds/looks delicious. Lou, quite the menu. Kyle, such a creative pastry and beautiful punch presentation. Thomas, homemade blueberry pie, yum!

I prepared the entire Thanksgiving meal myself this year, since my wife has continued to need to stay with her mom. First time I have done much more than deep fry a turkey or make last year's Turchetta. She came home yesterday afternoon, just in time, and spent the night here for the first time in 3 weeks. I roasted the turkey using a recipe that I got asking AI...it was provided from a website called DamnDelicious...and it was. I brined it the day before...really made it moist.

I also made a simmered cinnamon and caramel apple trifle for dessert...a recipe from the Costco magazine, of all places, and it was incredible. Especially since I hadn't had any sweets for a month...trying to eliminate/severely reduce sugar intake to see if it helps reduce inflammation in some of my joints. I'd say after a month it's been a success. Haven't touched the ibuprofen jar in a while, even after a big hike. Don, I might need some help going any further/all the way. My wife loves cinnamon and apples and caramel. I eat apples daily...so we both really liked this trifle.

I had time to think of many things for which I'm grateful, and certainly my wife was at the top. Tomorrow makes 45 years married.

She's going back today to visit her mom, and I'm sending food, especially trifle. Otherwise, I'll be too tempted.

Happy Anniversary!

28 F going to 35F. Cold is officially here to stay for the week.
Nothing extreme, but not the 75F we had just aweek and half ago.
Didn't expect it to drop this low so haven't turned off the outside taps. Went out around 4am to run them for a couple minutes. Don't want to shut them off (pain to get to) because I have a few things I still want to pressure wash later today.
Looking forward to French (Freedom) toast for brekky.

Oldest daughter is coming today. She is saving her money on food and try to eat at our house as much as she can. Typical student behavior. I was the same So we got for her some nice pieces of meat and beans

This guy has some really good videos on eating cheap, and other excellent recipes — once you look past the comedy schtick that is his trademark..
