Wind is howling this morning.. not blowing snow tho’ so it don’t matter.. kids are having their rally day today… a few years ago they moved it into town 60 miles away..

I went and fixed fence this afternoon after making a bunch of pipe corners and leaners for them… I got the water hooked up and running on the trees.. now, waiting for grandkids to see if they want to goContinue reading “Cloudy and cool”

Like about 40 or 50 mph gusts… typical spring weather… heck, typical anytime weather around here.. there is a reason there used to be so many windmills around these parts… did odds and ends stuff, supposed to get some trees planted in the next few days so worked on getting a water line over toContinue reading “A little breezy”
