Windy Monday
Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2023 8:44 am
Morning all. Bit breezy out there. Supposed to have winds gusting to around 40 today and scattered showers with mild temps in mid 50’s.
I see everybody survived the time change. Light here a bit after 7 and dark by 5:30 now. This tine f year one can’t do as much outside because the mornings are colder and by time temps warm up, it’s afternoon already. Yesterday just flew for me. Went to Mass, stopped at store for some things and gas for the truck and was past noon by the time I got back home. Ran was expected and I wanted to make one more pass over the gutters now that leaves are down. Had to haul out the ladder and do it by hand since my blower is out of commission. Got that done and cleaned up the leaves from the gutters I threw down. Had a sign I wanted to put out with the Thanksgiving display and a bag of stuff to run up to the recycle bins. By the time I got all this done, it was 3:30 and rain was starting. Day was already fading and dark by 5:30. But, all my fall chores are done. What leaves are laying around can stay till spring. My snowblower has been serviced and is ready and tractor put away. So now I can putter around outside just for fun if I want. I always find something to monkey with, as you well know just to be outside.
O’Sharon, I too am enjoying your Buddy adventures. Yep, better get the chores done. Crappy weather will be heading your from me as usual.
Saturday was a gem of a day with highs in mid 40’s and just a gentle breeze. Too nice of a day to waste. So took the dogs for a ride to Mackinac. Went over the bridge for one last burger at Clyde’s Drive In before they close on the 19th. Then we spent time at our favorite park by the bridge. I love it up there this time of year as it’s quiet. Tourist season is over and everything is shut down for the season, with some exceptions.
Going to run the vac this morning and work in my one Christmas cutout pattern for awhile. Then out to the garage to do a little project on my bench in front of my garage for Christmas decorating later. Taking advantage of mild day. Right now I’m watching this thunderstorm moving in. Supposed to have some heavy rain and may e hail. After that, then I can venture out to the garage. Put the bench inside yesterday so I can work in it if it rains.
