Good morning!!!!

Morning all!
53 going to a perfect 70 today. We got much needed rain yesterday. Hopefully will get more soon.
Busy week so far, Wife and I ripped out our front flower bed after 20 odd years of growth. Most of the flowers got rearranged after I roto tilled the soil and added compost. One large shrub that had over taken the bed with roots was moved to a different location in the yard. Not sure if it will live but I will give it a try.
Got the drip irrigation in place and now need to get a covering of mulch on there. Today I will straighten out the brick border.

Spent two days helping the fence installer at the apartment house. Didn't get any money off for helping but did get a job offer.

Rest of the week should be quiet. No appointments or guest on the agenda. Rare for us now.

Been working in the shop. Got quite a bit done.
Time for more coffee!
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

70 going to 76...a little breezy from the hurricane off the coast.

Virginia Beach is hosting the annual East Coast Surfing Championship this weekend and is pausing competition today due to rough surf. I bet the waves will be awesome all weekend as the storm passes on by pushing swells to the coast. I never competed in this contest years ago, but my nephew, in his 40s still does.

BEF, glad you got to visit your dad. I bet that lifted his spirits.

Mostly, sounds like torture to ride in aa race called Hotter n Hell.

Wag, did you friends do any hiking at Ben Lomond? I love the names on some of your mountains, like Legges Tor, Misery Bluff, and Ossian's Throne.

Did a good bit of chain saw, pole saw and lopping work yesterday to clear a couple of places where trees had fallen on one of my trails. Then did some mowing once the grass was dry and was able to mow through those areas I cleared for the first time in a while.

Wild sumac has invaded part of our field...one benefit is how well it serves honey bees now that it is blooming. Hundreds of them in one small area created quite the hum when you walk by, and the aroma is so sweet.

Good Morning,
Ct,54 to start going to 70 with mostly cloudy skies.

Sorry for not checking in last couple of days, have been really busy.

Heading up to Vermont later this afternoon, but need to work a few hours this morning.

Will try and catch up on all the posts later today

Have a great day

70 outside right now, another degree or two for the high is expected. Raining. Weather people got it wrong. Again. We could use the rain. Put some water in the pool for the first time all year, yesterday. That's a new record. Usually we are in the spot fill mode since July. Not the "normal" summer pattern with the heat, humidity and rainfall. Less taxing on the well this year for sure, so far.

Managed to get the tractor out and did some spot mowing in the pasture and some dirt work in the front yard late yesterday. Today looks to be an indoor day.

Hope all are doing well, and be safe today in your endeavors.

Foggy here this am which is not uncommon. The portage canal is at the bottom of the hill we reside on and that water is cooler. College kids are showing up like crazy this week with 1600 freshmen. The two homes on the right are college rentals, all girls. Might look at a nearby property today. 55 here now and warms up a bit today, into the 70's.

Just after 7:30 in the AM.
You know what a great feeling is.
Waking up after a good sleep wrapped up in a comfy blanky cocoon.
The heat wave broke a few days back and the AC is off.
I've had the windows open and the house temp has been wholly dependant on what's outside.
This morning temp outside is 59F.
Inside it's sitting at 64/5F.
Perfect for a nice blanket wrap without having to go to the heavy comforter.
Ahhh!
You can tell Fall is not that far away. Obviously the days are shorter. The morning grass is pregnant with dew. The clouds just have that look.
Plenty of warm days yet to come but my favorite time of year is peaking around the corner.
Time for a nice hot tea. I drink it year round but it's so nice to sit outside with a light hoody and shorts, watching the birds and critters (wabbit, squirrels, cats in the hood) go aboot their business with a steaming cupper and plan the day.
Good day and may the good news be yours. LN.
