Good 27º somewhat cloudy morning.
Yesterday started out dark cloudy and gloomy. Then the sun came out.... for 5 minutes.
Then it got gloomy again and the rain started at 10:30. It did that all day, on and off, and we got all the way up to 52º. By afternoon we were in the 40ºs. The rain was barely a drizzle and we got 2/10".
I looked out the window and panicked as I thought my barn was on fire!!
Turns out it was my neighbor Gerard who was burning tree trimmings down by my gate, on his property! WHEW!
Happy Throw Back Thursday...
Me at age 2 with my 6'6" brother-in-law Joe Mueller:
... and at 3 with my sister Marion Plumbridge:
My geese, not the ones sitting on the barn roof, who are shy....
came back and were on the ground out in front. I took them some cracked corn and they were happy. The male eats a bit first and then stands back and lets the female eat all she wants.
Mr. Woodpecker was also enjoying some cracked corn in the bird feeder...
Later a turkey figured out how to get cracked corn out of the bird feeder too!
