Scattered Thoughts . . .

I had a busy day today.  It was a very rare sunny day and the temperature was around 60 degrees so I figured I should not put off some outdoor tasks that I've been putting off for one reason or another for the past month or two.  I doubt we'll get any other days like today and my health was pretty stable so I put on some work clothes and headed outside.   First off, it was extremely muddy out there.  I don't know how the climate has been for those who read this blog but I can say that we've had so much rain over the summer and fall here in our neck of the woods that our yard is a mud pit.  This made the lawn work that I needed to do a bit of a pain in the butt.  The lawn is ready for winter now though.   I fixed our snowblower.  That broke late in the season last winter season.  Because of all the road construction we had last year when they installed a new water main, we had rocks everywhere all winter.  The rocks ended up get...

We are cutting Christmas trees tomorrow morning so I need to ensure I am well rested for that. This means I will accomplish absolutely nothing after noon today so I can sleep and rest for the remainder of the day. Cutting Christmas trees is usually a fun morning in the snow for everyone and then a nice leisurely lunch in a restaurant. Tomorrow morning promises to be muddy this year though. Hopefully, all will go smoothly and not wear me down!
