Ron, it still feels like rural living, but with a group of neighbor Ron's to work with. Those old guys and gals were keeping up with me.
Finally found the "Club" that speaks our language - grapples, ego chainsaws and even InstantPots.
Eric, we were rock hunting for flat rocks and did placed a few rocks on the trail to walk on when water is flowing after a rain in some of the ravines. I did notice they had a Cairn garden on one of the trails, do I dare suggest a compass rose in one of the picnic areas, I'll have to use you as reference - but don't tell them how long it takes me. (I'll still be working on it when Drew moves down)
A windy cool morning. 42˚ and cloudy.

Poured second cup of coffee. 36° with light rain this morning. Heading to 43° with rain before noon. Car are moving on road lot slower than normal. Hope most ice on ground melts before I leave for PT. Plan to get one of my Ring cameras mounted and programed today.
Irv, give me a call.
Drew, glad you made it home safe.
Jay, prayers and best wishes for your friends.
Good Morning All.

Temps rising since earlier, now up to 31. Should see 46 and same 1 to 3 inches of rain...Flash Flood watch.
Funny, since Eric and L4N posted on those eco fans, a TSCO ad was on the side of my TBN page with one. I looked at it...$99 and says they "make their own electricity" is that right? I'd like to place one on my woodstove, but will look for a less expensive one, or wait for the 10 or 15% off coupon.
Don, glad you got some trail work.
Ron, glad you got some cranes to watch.
Eric, glad you got some sun.
Now many have their Christmas wish fulfilled?

the one for world peace and kindness? No.....
But, on a personal level....you betcha... :dance1:
now if it would stop raining so I can use it without rutting up the place
rain coming in by noon, garden club Christmas luncheon, first food shopping, then home to dress nicely and go find
a sprig of holly w/berries to put in a button hole. No tie. I refuse...well, I do have one with Santas on it...guess I'd better, being
the only guy there. Admittedly a slightly strange situation, but I was on the local board of Planned Parenthood for many years and being surrounded by lady docs, lawyers and teachers was quite an education. These garden ladies just like to do lunch. I probably just provide them
with a little entertainment.
leg cramps last night, time in the shower hosing legs down with hot water, must have been the drive. Probably dehydrated, worried so much about having to stop too often did not drink much
have a wonderful day

The fan on the Eco-fans is driven by an electric motor, at least it looks like one. How it works is beyond me. I do know that the heat from the stove top makes the fan turn. The hotter, the faster. But it doesn't move the hot air very fast, at least mine didn't.
I think I paid $90.oo CDN for the three blade one about 10 of so years ago. It was on sale. I see the two blade one for a penny short of 100 bux.

42 degrees going for 47 today with an 80% chance of rain, according to the NWS. They show that Denton got .06" before midnight and .18" since midnight. I just went our and dumped about .25" out of my gauge, so I reckon my numbers and the NWS numbers are about the same. And there's a heavy mist in the air.
I've been wondering what the weather might do, since I told my next door neighbor I'd take him to his eye doctor just before noon today. He gets around very, very slowly with a walker, so it's not too good when it's raining.
Many years ago, my wife's mother used to send cakes that she made to each of her kids for Christmas. When she was no longer able to do that, my wife's older sister took over that job. Then some 20 years ago, my wife took it over. And now . . . well, we no longer mail any, but still make them each year for the family. So I helped my wife make 9 loaf sized cakes yesterday. As much as we like them, I don't know why we don't make them more often. One recipe makes 3 loaf sized cakes, or one big bundt pan cake.
Katherine's Applesauce Christmas Cake
2 Cups Sugar
1 Cup Butter
2 Cups Applesauce (canned sweet)
2 Cups Raisins
1 Cup Walnuts (chopped)
2 Tablespoons Cinnamon (ground)
2 Tablespoons Cloves (ground)
2 Eggs (large)
3 Cups Flour (all purpose)
2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
Stir Baking Soda into Applesauce and let stand until ready to add to other ingredients. Cream Butter and Sugar together. Stir in Eggs unbeaten. Add Applesauce and Baking Soda, then add 2 Cups of the Flour. Add the Raisins that have been rolled in the other Cup of Flour. Add Walnuts and Spices. Pour into one bundt cake pan or three loaf pans and bake for one hour in 350 degree oven.
