MONDAY WITH HEAVY FROST
Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2012 7:13 am
GOOD MORNING ALL!
When I woke up, it was 26 outside, but I see it's warmed up to 28 now! The sun hasn't made it over the mountain ridges yet, so I suspect the rays will melt the frost in a hurry when it does. I will try to take some pretty fall color pictures today as I head to town for my doctor appointment. Our paved road out to the main drag is like a tunnel of color now.
I managed to back my old trailer into its winter shelter yesterday, and it took my only about 10 tries and 20 minutes to make it----I am getting better! The first year it took over an hour, lots of tears and swearing and fretting and panicking. It is hard because I can't get the truck and trailer in line with the front door of the shelter due to an old apple tree in the way. Hence, I need to 'back-turn' the trailer to line it up, and that leaves one side of the shelter out of my vision as I back up. Sigh! Sure feels good to have that job done!
After the doc appointment this afternoon, I will tackle the stapling up of the snow fence to the deck railing top to make room for the kids to push heavy snow off under the railing. I always staple that fencing down each spring to keep babies, kids, and animals from falling off the high deck.
May you all have a fun day wherever you may be and whatever you may be doing.
