Good morning to all! Low of 46°, going up to only 80° after a front came down from the NW. that kept the wind going strong all night @40-45 mph.
Paul, (PopG), thanks for the city pic.... I could almost make out where my Dad used to work, the municipal service building. Gosh, I almost forgot how many rowhouses there are in the Philly neighborhoods.
Bird, glad you are just bruised from the fall. Take it easy for a bit and heal.
Bruce, glad you are healing quickly and 'no more bleeding'. I am also curious if he had the cable running across the path?
Talking about fawns hiding and staying put.... Back when we lived outside of Dublin, PA, when I was mowing I spotted a fawn off to the side on one pass. On the return pass, it was still there and refused to move. So went around and left a patch of grass around the fawn. Never saw mom come for it, but it was gone later in the day.
Yesterday's agenda was in and out of bed, and overall a BLAH day. Still have a sore throat/ cough, congestion, and joint pain/stiffness. Today is going to be a repeat, rest has always been my best medicine.
Everyone have a great day!

Hopefully I'll be able to stay up tonight (if I don't forget) to see the meteor shower. Should be around 10pm here. Maybe I can see a few.....

Very large crowd at the Memorial Day Ceremony. The 700 folding chairs were full along with another 700 under the trees. No politics just just honoring the fallen and the Veterans.

82F and sunny 12:15, "feels like" 85F heading up to a high of around 88F.
Went out around 00:30 last night to see if there would be a show and stayed until around 01:45. A good bit of high clouds but you could see most of the stars through them. Unfortunately nothing significant as far as shooting stars go.
The only real "shows" were the next door neighbors were out having a fire in their backyard and had one guest who sounded like maybe he had a few too many adult beverages. They are younger folks so not entirely unexpected ...
Then there was a raccoon who figured that the floating sunflower seeds in the chipmunk trap were easy pickings. I shoo'ed him off a couple of times, think he finally gave up ... after he had mostly cleaned it out.
Temps were in the mid-to-high 60's while I was out there so it was cool but pleasant. Hadn't done that in some time, used to do it quite a bit. Very enjoyable.
The Woman has already suggested that I go turn on the AC up in the shop and has volunteered to come help "get that Kubota back together" ...
This is highly unusual ... as she is NOT a petroleum grease, grime, and oil sorta gal.
Depending on how bad it is when I go out there I may well take her up on that offer later.
Aside from that though, there are several things I'd like to get done:
Put out the half an orange for the birds (if I can remember)
Finish off that frame for the 55G drum on the WB.
Tie up the Orienipet Lilies to their stakes and mulch behind them.
Plant the 10 Asiatic Lily bulbs.
The above will likely have to wait until later when there is shade.
This is Recycle Week so those will need hauled up to the road along with the garbage.
Maybe a run down to HF in Canton if they are still showing that mic set in stock.
Of course, seedlings and plants will probably need watered first thing.
The list never ends.
Just stuck my head out and it doesn't seem too bad right at the moment. Probably pretty tolerable in the shade, as long as one isn't doing anything too strenuous. That may change as the afternoon progresses.
Hope everyone has a pleasant Memorial Day and remembers those that made the sacrifice.

Nothing significant here.
Thought I saw a couple of shooting stars ... but they could have just been floaters in my eyes ...

No one seemed to mind giving the Veterans present a robust round of applause as they stood when they were recognized by their specific branch of defense.
Army
Marine Corps
Navy
Air Force
Space Force
Coast Guard
And also a standing ovation for those in attendance and presently in active service in the United States Armed Forces.

88 outside in bright sun
Holidays have brought a lot of motorcycles to town and they really make a huge amount of noise going by.
And there seems to be a few extra crazies in loud cars too at late hours.
I'd like to put a big sign out saying Quiet Zone
Then use an audiometer to measure the noise level and have it take pics and give tickets.
A noise activated red light camera.
I wonder if my namesake would be considered a Fallen. He died of some brain disease during WWII while a merchant marine
oiler on a diesel tender going up and down the East coast in 1942. Not sure how the merchant marine was classified.
Uncle Drew never made it past age 24. Thankfully his sister, my Mother, went on to have four kids.
