Good Morning, All!
Hope this post finds you all having a good day - or at least a good as possible one! It's a beautiful fall day here; warmed up a bit from yesterday as it's already 46*F; expected high in the low 70's, and clear as a bell.
Men can clean closets, Moldy? Who knew?! I swear my husband still has clothes and shoes from high school.... Sounds like you had a wonderful day!
Sapphire, I love that story about your Hubby's persimmon weather forecast coming true
The only mild winter I remember in the late '70's/early '80's was early winter in 1982; it was 62*F on Christmas Day - but it made up for it shortly after the calendar flipped over into 1983! Hubby took the snowmobile across the fields the 5 miles to the hard road (highway) where a friend lived and caught a ride to work from there several times that winter!
Good deal on the squash, OGM (I started to type squarsh - which is how we say it 'round here LOL!) We have several 'punkin' patches around here so I wait a little later in the season to go pick up squash after the prices drop a bit as it's much too expensive while the fall decorating season is in swing.
I'm planning to spend the morning catching up on laundry and doing some fridge cleaning, then will run to town to scan my CVS card this afternoon - and, oh yeah - pick up the grandkids while I'm there
They will stay overnight since tomorrow is a school holiday. I want to make a quick run to Rural King to pick up some bird feed, then I have plenty of yard work we can do - or that I can do while they play!
Also on the list is taking a long walk back to the lake, Papaw working one-on-one with each of them on firearm safety, and some campfire cooking - which might be hot dogs and s'mores tonight, but I'll bring out the dutch oven and pie-dies for lunch tomorrow.
While I'm still off work on vacation this week, I need to get the walnuts picked up out of the east side yard so I don't break my leg walking to the compost pile, scrub out the bird feed cans and let them dry in the sun, get another load of canning jars carried in and ran through the dishwasher, start getting the rest of the jars out from under the shed porch as we have a man who is supposed to get our machine shed painted before winter, clean off the front porch, finish getting the last of the weeds out of the flower beds and mulch them, till down the gardens and till where I want to put my next raspberry bed so I can haul several loads of manure from the sale barn and get them put down to mellow over the winter.
It's supposed to rain Wednesday and I'm counting on it to do so - I need to get the pantries cleaned out, organized, and inventoried; I've about given up hope of anyone ever marking something off the list when they take it out. If I get another rainy day, I might start working on the store rooms downstairs.
Well, I'm not getting a thing done sitting here at the computer; better get up and get moving! Take care all; have a great weekend!
