Good Morning from the 45th. It’s a chilly 41° out there this morning. Cold front came through last night. Won’t be much warmer than this today or most of next week either. Getting down to more seasonal temps for this time of year, after being in low 60’s for past 3 days. Glad I took advantage of the mild weather to service my lawn tractor the other day. And got my wood patterns cut out this week too, as I knew this was coming. November 1st has always been my deadline for getting things ready for winter. Need to put out driveway markers yet, but time for that. It’s supposed to be a dry but cloudy day today and I’m hoping I can clean up the last of neighbors leaves and those that are down in my front yard as well. Then I will give my tractor a quick bath and put it and my hose away for winter. What leaves are left to cone down, I can blow into the woods later.
It has rained nonstop for almost 3 days here, but yesterday it finally quit except for isolated showers. I took a ride to Petoskey to Hobby Lobby and Joann’s to check out Diamond painting accessories and came home with some trays to put the diamonds in. Was looking for a Diamond storage container but no luck there. So ordered one from the place in WI that I got my Diamond painting kit from. But it got me out for a nice drive anyway. Still some pretty trees here and there, but majority are past peak and dropping leaves. Decided to blow the leaves out of my backyard when I got home, even though they were damp. My blower can move them with no issues. Did one part of front yard too.
Going to head for town later this morning. Still dark out there yet. Out of breakfast stuff and a few other things. Need some gas for blower as well. Prices are dropping here. Was $3.04 at our local Meijer and with the 10 cents off I get for having their credit card, I get it for $2.94.
Lyn, nice to see you posting again and glad you are feeling better. BJ, hope you get your legal stuff straightened out. Those things are never forever as things annd circumstances change over the years. I’ve had to change my will three times in the past 20 years. As to financial companies. Be sure you are dealing with reputable companies. Some, especially independent brokerages, have their sights on how much they can make from you, then make for you. They will bug you all the time about this deal or that. $$$ in Commissions for them. You would be better off getting a Financial advisor from one like Edward Jones. I have been with them for almost 30 years, and they are an extremely good company, among one of the top of the country.
Dogs just wanted in. Raining again. They are now having their early morning nap.
