Good Morning and Happy Easter,
Ct, 61 to start going to 71. I could see the moon going out to get the paper so it looks like our sunrise church service should be a real sunrise service.

Ron, beautiful cardinal picture this morning, how appropriate for Easter Sunday. 🙏

Yesterday afternoon I fiddled around with my old Wheel Horse tractor. Put in new points , condenser and coil. Finally did get it running, oh and a new battery. The gas in the tank is kind of old so at some point that needs to get changed out and the gas tank needs to be cleaned. The engine would run for awhile and then start to die. Engine probably needs a rebuild, just not sure how much money I want to spend on it.

Today, early church service and then our youngest son is having the family down to his home for Easter Dinner. Kathleen has made up bags for all the grand kids so they will have a ball.

Hope all have a blessed Easter Sunday. 🙏

Good morning all

remarkably warm night last night and still warm this morning.
at 2am some crazy bird started squawking outside, one I've never heard before, loud enough to wake me up.
an odd alarm clock but went back to bed
some birds and animals come out at night, like owls, so always wonder what the night scene is like out there.
bet there are some red foxes around. A chicken's worst nightmare.

David, great job on that mower deck. Interesting wear strips, seems like a good idea.
my lawn mower deck does not raise up high enough for me to clear several areas and I have to slowly go
clanking across, squeezed through the only opening wide enough for the mower.
I wish it had a travel position ever further up but the machinery is almost hitting as it is.

have my giftee chocolate bunnies in the fridge, ready to go this afternoon to the kids.
one dark chocolate and one milk chocolate.
younger sister and older brother. Sister will get choice because
"ladies first". Brother is new teen with acne so eating that chocolate might not be the
best thing for him. I was thinking, ever the romantic, he could give it to a girl in school he wanted to make smile.
he's just 14 so might be too shy. But, Uncle Drew will explain the power of chocolate and roses to him.

made myself some bacon and about to go have an bacon and egg sandwich. I've been having yogurt and blueberries
most mornings so nice to have a change. Though I did get that yummy spinach egg sandwich at the restaurant yesterday.
I can tell I've put weight back on. At least my labs came back fine. A little high on total cholesterol because I cut back on taking statins
but my AIC dropped a tiny bit. That's a score and I'll take it. All my blood labs looked good. One of those is a cancer marker that my oncologist orders.
sure don't want to see H in that column... been there, done that

this is for Wagtail.
morning coffee with a smile

Happy Easter! 72ËšF, a small line of rain heading this way before church. Hoping we can squeeze a half inch of rain out of it. This afternoon it will be a sunny 80Ëš.

BIL has been buried, finishing the last page of his life and death.

After the trip to Houston an early morning shift at the "Farm", and despite the 50% chance of rain forecasted, several thousand people came out on this holiday weekend. They had me hustling with waiting lines and several full trailers. The kids every half hour Easter egg hunts had long lines, and the baby animals bottle feedings sold out. The Strawberry fields had lots of pickers.

Good Morning
60° and partly cloudy with a nice breeze. Yesterday almost made it to 80. It was warmer here when I got home than it was when I left Palm Beach.

The trip went well other than having to get up so early. Had a great view of Cape Fear / Wilmington,NC from 45,000 feet coming in from over the Atlantic. That’s high enough that you can just barely see the curvature of the earth.

I got home early enough to be productive, but couldn’t really find the ambition to do much. I watered some new sod and the balls of the Arborvitae that get planted tomorrow.

Downloaded the tracks from Friday’s rehearsal from the recorder’s hard drive, rough mixed them and uploaded to the cloud to share with the boys. 2 hours is about 15gb of data before it’s mixed into two tracks.

Today I am going to survey how dry the ground is, I should hook up the progressive mower and take it for a tour of the property, also need to put the grapple on the loader and clean up some brush from downed trees that I cut up.

The day will start with a brunch at sons and Easter egg hunt for grandson. The walk down there will count as part of the aforementioned survey.

good morning, 60 going to 71

A storm went through with high winds and knocked out power last night. It came back after a while and did not see any trees down

Did a post office run. Mowed the areas close to the house and discovered that there are more sticks to pick up. The Redbuds are getting more vibrant in colors. With over a hundred of them it really brightens up the view

Was kind of dragging a bit yesterday so no energy left for working on the projects
