Still wet

Clarinda, IA  -  Not complaining, just the facts--still wet.  Dumped only .2" from rain gauge yesterday afternoon and .05 this morning.  Damp is the word.

 With the temperature only 39 degrees this morning and it didn't get out of the 40's yesterday, it has been a bit cool.  As a comparison, it is now 65 degrees at our house in south Texas and predicted to get to 82 degrees today. Forecast here is high of 51 degrees today.  At left are photos of the Lilac budding, just ready to pop.

Phyllis got bird feeders set out and they have been working on them.  Several birds showed up, but not able to catch any on camera just yet.

Lit the BBQ Grill in the cold last evening and did some Texas 1015 (sweet) onions with some pork.

Some irons Phyllis isn't currently using to press clothes; she set them out on the banister of the back deck.

At right shows the electric insulators Phyllis dug out of our shop/storage building and used to decorate one of the smaller benches on the deck.



I am in process of moving several LP Albums to computer and then CD's.  Brought two albums home from Kenwood house.  Don't remember where I picked them up, but they are delightful.  One album is "Tony Mottola in Romantic Guitars" presented by The Longines Symphonette Society.  The other is "Somewhere My Love - and other Romantic Movie Melodies" by The Longines Symphonette Society.  Between the two will have something over 6 hours of soothing music that can listen in car, or on the Boze player in the house.  As MP3 files all 12 LP's will fit on 1 CD's.  I have to use WAV files for use in the Excursion and can get only 2 LPs per CD in that form.

We are planning on going to Omaha tomorrow; will go by Atlantic to the salvage yard to drop off some iron, aluminum, and copper I have accumulated over the last couple years.  Need the space in the shop.
