The green colors of the new leaves are alway amazing in the spring. The River Birches and the big Pecan tree looks great in the rain.

The largest high speed ferry in the world was placed in service this week traveling at 37 knots and carrying 1600 passengers and 450 cars.

0.13" of rain fell overnight and it was a foggy, drizzly, misty 42ºF for this morning's low temperature. It is currently 45ºF and I expect these conditions to continue through the afternoon with a high temperature in the low to mid50ºF's and rain starting tonight and continuing in some fashion through this coming workweek; but the weather pattern improves this coming weekend.

Good morning! Low of 44°, heading towards 78°. Sunny, light winds. No chance of precip until midweek.

Definitely falling behind in the precipitation totals. Down about 2" already from normal average. Hope the cycle breaks soon...... I'm envious of all the greenery shown in the pics.....

Good progress on the planter project. One completed for
"QA inspection"..... wifey said it was far better than what she was envisioning. I'm glad because the other 5 are already cut, just need assembly. No changing design now....

They will still need the locations "prepped and leveled", then secured. Of course then they have to be filled.... and the trees planted. Then start on the 3 free-standing planters / raised beds.

Pics will follow.....

Time to head out to the shop......

Morning all, 46 going up to 60 and heavy rains.
Gave the dog a bath yesterday and for drinks/appetizers we ended up at a new mediteranian place in Newtown called Ardana.
We got some good drinks, some Hummus and some grilled Octopus.
Octopus seemed more pan fried than Grilled, but both dishes were really tasty.

Loved the look on the ladies face one bar stool over when she saw tentacles.

Another ash fell on the other side of the road, gather that neighbor is going to be busy when the rain clears up. He is a bit unstable so I only deal with him through email if I can help it.

Mostly, nice light lunch for a bike ride sounds like fun. I miss the big group rides. Maybe will see if I can start again after next dr. appointment.

We have had quite a few inches of rain. at least 3 in the gauge.
Son is off on a date today, will see how this one goes.

Be well,

Woods are starting to look very, very green. Some of the invasives have already extended 4-5 feet towards the driveway. This is the view looking at my neighbors forest from my front lawn. Polesaw will get a workout if this rain ever stops.

A little color on this drab and dreary day.

One of the kids when growing up loved the Danish pancakes and got very good at making them. He would make huge stacks of them to share with the family using milk from the French Alpine goats that another kid milked.

Raising kids in a large family was always something that took work and the kids were participating in household chores based on age and ability. We had two washers and two dryers running and kids were doing the folding and putting away the clothes. No-one ever knew why we had small socks mixed in with large socks and other mishaps So we set up a sock person and tee shirt person etc to learn about accountability and responsibility and the quality of folding clothes improved dramatically. Not unlike what I did at work to hold people accountable for their work

drip drip drip keeps on raining, raining pretty hard actually right now

spent an hour online with Home Depot's counter top ordering estimator, my tiny kitchen comes in at the 950 minimum for laminate.
Least expensive hard surface, very thin, 1350 and decent hard surface 2000. Going with fake marble laminate, no drip rounded lip and 4 inch
back splash. Carpenter hired was going to sub out the countertop construction to a third party, unknown. I needed to find a baseline price
for landlady so she knew up front what was reasonable. Since money spent in kitchens and bathrooms usually has decent market value return,
seems like a sensible investment for owner. The problem is most of the contractors around here are used to putting in 50K kitchens, or more.
They don't want to fool around with something this small. Current laminate counter tops have 40+ years on them and are chipped in several places.

if I could be really flexible on color choice, could get end lot marble or something nice for same price. If it were my house, I'd be out shopping for closeouts.

time to get laundry out of dryer then maybe a soak in hot tub
