And it is … once again a really nice day, weather wise. The sun is shinning, and the temperature is or was sitting at 9.9 C | 49.82 F. It will warm up a lot more as the day moves forward. It’s what you would call a Fall Summer’s Day. Highway 522 is bare and dry and the traffic is almost nil this morning, being Sunday. Most folks around here take it easy on Sundays. For myself, it doesn’t matter what day it is, they are all the same to me, I enjoy them all. Kind of how you look at things.
On another note, I worked in my old woodworking shop yesterday and today my wife and I are planning on cleaning our eve troughs. They shouldn’t be as bad this year, as we had to take down a lot of the trees that were close to our home throughout the summer. They were getting up there in size along with being quite old. We didn’t want a storm to come in and knock them down on our house. But in saying that, for what we took down we planted a few new maple trees which will look real nice in the coming years. Remove and replace, I always say.
With that I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal my lovely wife is making for me and will then see what the day has in store … other than what I have planned. You never know.
And it is a nice morning here in Port Loring. The temperature is like summer, waking up sitting at 11.3 C | 52.34 F. It will warm up more with lots of sunshine as the day progresses. We could see temperatures for the next four days or so reach the 70F/21C mark. No reason to not get outside today, that’s for sure. I know I will be. Front porch sittin’ is on our menu for when we have our coffee this afternoon. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, just the way I like it. And if it was up to me, it could stay this way all winter.
On another note, I have been working in my old woodworking shop these days. I put most of the day out there yesterday and will probably do the same today. I did light the shop stove just to take out the coldness from last night, but will let it go out now, with it being so nice outside.
The Robbins we saw yesterday have left, or at least I haven’t seen any this morning. Most birds have left for warmer weather, but a few choose to linger around occasionally. Which is nice to see. My lovely wife and I enjoy watching them.
With that, I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal and will then let the day unfold around me. Have a great day and try and get outside for the next few days, so you can soak up some of that good vitamin D. There is none better than what the sun has to offer.
It’s a cloudy, cool morning here in Port Loring. The temperature waking up was sitting at 4.8 C | 40.64 F. The snow we had yesterday didn’t amount to anything, and melted before the day ended. Actually, our temperatures are going to rise for the next few days into the low 60s F. It will feel somewhat like summer after what we have been having. This damp cold weather plays havoc with the old body, that’s for sure. These so-called specialists say it has nothing to do with how the body feels. I say live in mine for a few days. Ha ha. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning with a few more hunters coming into our area, setting up things for the Deer hunt, which starts on the first two weeks of November.
On another note, getting out of bed, I saw a lot of Robins seeking out them nice juicy worms throughout our lawn and gardens. They always seem to drop by on their way south for a day or so. It’s like they want to say goodbye for now. I thought I heard one say … “See You In The Spring”
Yesterday I worked in the house here on a Podcast which is live now. Today I will work on another for a while, while my shop is warming up. I have a one of a kind coffee table in the works that I would like to finish. I have the base cleaned up and old wash tub, and the top is glued up waiting to be sanded. So … lots of things to do if I want to do them. With that, I am off for some homemade pancakes my lovely wife is making for me, and will then see what the day has in store. Take care.
