47 this morning. Rained HARD about 8:30 to 9pm, lots of thunder etc. last night. Should be a lovely day today...
Breaking in a new coffee cup today, my old favorite broke recently. I'm thinking I'm going to be able to drink one less cup per day now (or not)...
Be well all,
David

Drinking second cup of coffee. 33 degrees with clear skies this morning. Heading to 58 with some sun this afternoon. Did not get to see doctor yesterday. Power was out almost all day in that area of town. Back has not got to where I can do much work.
Good Morning All.

Morning all! Sipping my 1st cup of Joe. It's 6:32 AM here with 45 degree temps. Worked until 9:45 last evening so I'm dragging a bit. It is supposed to be a nice day, so we'll see how that shapes up.

Mid fifties this morning, a much cooler 66 today after 80 yesterday. Still wondering around the house trying to come to terms with my buddy Yoda leaving me so suddenly.

Hey all. Today is my day off. The weather here has been miserable the last 2 days and I was up about 3am and the sky was crystal clear! But now, it's clouding over, about 40 degrees and likely to rain. Whenever I'm off it rains!!!
Oh well, it's still a good day to be on the right side of the dirt.

Good Morning!! 65 and mostly sunny! After 3 weeks of interruptions every day, I finished the last two raised beds yesterday in spite of another interruption.
The fire chief in the next town could not give the 4H club a speech on fire safety so with only 2 hour notice we put together a powerpoint slide show presentation with information and real fire pictures from Houston. Karen went over the basics (stop drop roll, smoke alarms, exits, etc,,,) I did the "this is what to expect during a fire" - with the really cool fire pictures. It went smoothly.
Today I give my snake eyes a rest and run in town. After yesterday I'm jumping at every stick.
My first crop of peanuts are just starting to turn yellow, harvest time soon.

Don, I may have missed it, but how did your keyhole garden turn out? Have you posted about it?
Yesterday, I tilled my garden for the 3rd time in a month. The 1st time was to turn over/under all the remains of this year's garden. It was dry and dusty. After a rain storm, I tilled again to dry out the surface and chop up the dead vegetation. In the process, I turned up quite a few rocks around the size of oranges and grapefruits. My grandson and I picked rocks. We only got about a 5-gallon bucket full for the entire garden. Kathy and I have been picking rocks every year when we put in the garden and tossing them around the fence. Since it rained again last weekend, I tilled one more time before taking the tiller off my tractor. The soil is nice and fluffy and I only turned up one more rock in the whole garden. I think we are about clear.

Jim, your soil is looking good.
The Key hole garden works but needs some work. below is a picture I just took. Even though we put veg waste in the center every day, the solider fly larvae eat it up and the level stays low. Hopefully their waste will keep the soil fertile. This winter I need to re-work the rocks and put mortar in, there are too many gaps, and when the cardboard rots I'll lose soil and water. The tomatoes did good and the remaining basil and peppers are thriving.

1020- 40 degrees and overcast, supposed to be ugly all day.
Top on the list is finish cutting and packing the turkey I unexpectedly had to cull yesterday...... I guess his last comment to the other tom about a short beard was enough. I heard a commotion in the coop and found said tom bleeding and the other standing on his head. Knew where that was going in short order so-.
Was planning on processing them on Wednesday anyway (only 5 total) but this was my first time with a turkey and all in all- went well.

Coffee is extra strong this morning. 48 degrees with light rain. Heading to 70 with sun mid day then more rain. Made it to doctors yesterday. Medication has only let me sleep about 3 hours. But I can stand straight up. Got medication for a few days. Then going to try some therapy for the first time. Not going to do much. Going to take motorhome out for a wash job and fill fuel tank.

Good morning all...52 degrees here already, hit 68 yesterday so I finished mowing for the year and mulched all the leaves, then pulled the mower deck from the tractor, cleaned it well, sharpened the blades and greased it then it went into storage. Today I will finish the last of the outdoor tasks I started a month ago...one of the great things about retirement is that you have a lot more time for your own priorities. Gotta go get my second cup of coffee...catch you later.
