A cheery Good Morning from the 45th,
A bit chilly here this morning although mid 50's is way better than the mid 30's we had earlier this week. But our days are fiflled with sunshine and highs in the mid 70's. The system that's causing headaches for you folks in the eastern seaboard area, PA, NY etc. is blocking a ridge of high pressure over us and we see nothing but glorious sunshine for the foreseeable future.
If all goes well, I will be hauling my TT out on the road again and enjoying the nice weather for a couple of days anyway. Am hoping this weather pattern stays through fall for awhile. Not so much the sunshine every day (would be great) but days of sun and mild temps would make a great fall camping season. Have to have some rain once in awhile to keep the trees and plants healthy and let them store it for the winter. Sunshine, cool nights and clear skies make for excellent fall colors too.
Busy at work yesterday, repairing and painting all our wooden bike racks from in front of the buildings and where ever else they are sitting around the park That job is done except for the lettering which has to be repainted and my one co-worker is going to do that today. We have a wedding in the park on Saturday down at our north end board walk area. A beautiful spot. So will be down there today making sure it's all cleaned up and looking nice. Also have a family reunion in our Activity building going on too, so will be a little busy in a couple of areas this weekend. I'm sure with the beautiful weather, that there will be some people coming in to camp as well.
My nice neighbor across the road from me, picked me up two dozen ears of corn so I could process it and put it in the freezer for later this winter and won't take anything for it. I had mentioned to him earlier this week that I wish I could have gotten to the Farmer's Market here to get some before it's gone, but my work hours and days conflict with the market days. Said he would get some for me and did. I hated to not pay him for it as he is out of work, his wife is on a waiting list for heart and lung transplants etc., and he's tied down at home cause if she gets a call, they have 4 hours to get down to the hospital at U of M which is all of a 4 hurs drive away at the least from here. So he doesn't stray too far from home these days. As is, they have to keep going back down every month for tests etc. But I watch their house, take in their mail etc., when they are gone and when they have gone on vacations previously etc., so I guess as far as he's concerned, it all evens out.
And another neighbor who does odd jobs around the neighborhood might paint my deck and reseal my drive for me, which would be great as both need doing. He's going to come down and look it over. I'll pay him for it of course. I don't have time to paint the deck. Too busy camping , working etc.....
So grab a cup of coffee and sit down for a bit. Tell us how you are doing and how your days have been. Keep dry, safe and happy all.
