My goodness, I didn't put anything on the blog last night.

 

 Yep, well I went to bed last night and forgot to post anything. 

Happy birthday

to Cousin Debbie Jewell over in Barrie.(yesterday)

The weather here has been real nice, not to hot and not to cold. I may not post anything tomorrow night, I have to go to Memphis tomorrow and I am usualy worn plumb out after a trip up to the big city.  Yall take care and send me some news to post.

and yep, I got the roof put back on my shed.

The wind got to me a little last night.

 

We had winds gusting up to about 50 miles per hour last night, About 2:30 or 3 AM, the rain came through and the winds jumped from about 17 to 20 MPH  with gusts to about 50 mph.  I had the roof torn off of one of my sheds, but was able to salvage it and it will be repaired shortly.  We had almost 3 inches of rain last night.  The cold front came through tonight and it is only going to be about 55ºF tomorrow.

Have a great day.

 

Snow picture from cousin Fred Faber in Cambridge

Cousin Fred Faber in Cambridge sent this picture of how his backyard looked this morning. Hate to say it Fred but it is 59ºF (15ºC) here tonight.We had a very nice day today.

We had a few sprinkles tonight

We had a few sprinkles this evening, but the day today was very nice just a little breezy.  Cousin Fred Faber up in Cambridge says they had 4 more inches of snow last night but it will be warming up and melting again this week.  If we see any snow, it will probably be in late January or February, if we have snow, that is usualy when it comes.

 

 

Friday already ----

 

It was a little cooler here today so we went out and brought in another load of firewood, I want to get one more cord in before the weather turns cold, that will give us plenty of wood to spare for the fireplace.  I was out there the other day and 5 deer came down and stood looking at me, they were all does, but a few minutes after they left the buck came ambling through too.  He was a pretty nice looking deer, looked to be an 8 point.  They sure do look pretty as they stroll along.  Sometimes I just go out and sit there for a while watching the birds ,squirrels, deer and many other critters that live out there in my woods.  Sometimes a turkey will come by and lots of bobwhite quail,  even coons, possums and polecat are not uncommon.  My oldest boy Chuck, killed a bobcat this morning while he was deer hunting.  I don't let them hunt on my place, I enjoy watching the animals too much.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving today ---

We sure had a nice Thanksgiving today, the weather was perfect and we ended up with 16 of the family coming by and having dinner with us, we sure enjoyed it. I have to admit though, after dinner I sat down in my favorite chair and dozed for a while. Mary put on a superb dinner and the girls helped her with the dishes afterward. I think everyone left happy and with a full stomach.
I got another picture of the snow in Barrie this morning from cuzn Debbie, but I can't seem to find it they had more snow last night.

Great day on our Thanksgiving eve.

 

Well, the weather today was just lovely.  A smiling sun brought our temperature up to 66ºF here at our place.  Mary has the stuffing made, the potatoes and turnips are peeled and we will get up around 6 am to stuff the bird and put it in the oven.  Our family should start arriving around 10 am and dinner will be at 1 o'clock, yall come on and join us.  Happy Thanksgiving to all and don't forget to give thanks.

I was tired ---

Hello all, I was tired last night and went to bed early, completely forgot to leave a message here on the blog.  I usualy check my emails first thing in the morning, at noon, around 5pm and again before bedtime just in case anyone was wondering.  It was nice here yesterday, sun was shining but there was a mighty cool breeze.  When the wind blew, it felt like the cool air came right through the clothes.  Today is nicer.

 

Have a nice day.

 

 

Great weather --

We are back to 60's during the day and 40's at night. I like it a little warmer, but this is great for November. Have a great day everyone.

Still snowin on my Cuzns inCanada

 

Tonight was date night, but me a Mom stayed home.  I got this pic from cuzn Debbie (Bingelman) Jewel, she lives in Barrie, Ont.  Nothing but pretty weather here.  Gotta go to bed early tonight, church in the morning.

Nice day today -----

 

 We had a right pretty day today, the temperature was only about 65ºF (18ºC) but the sun was shining and there was a slight southerly breeze.  The temperature tonight is in the 40's and it is suposed to be warmer tomorrow with a chance of rain on Sunday.  No one has sent me any new info from Canada so I don't know if yall got more snow last night or not.

 

My Canadian Cuzns have SNOW -------

Yep, my Canadian Cuzns have snow.  I have a picture from cuzn Fred Faber in Cambridge and another from cuzn Debbie Bingelman Jewell in Barrie. You lucky folks will probably have a white Christmas.  Here they are  We did have our first frost last night, and we will have our second one tonight.

 

 

First Frost? maybe

 

Tonight we are supposed to have our first frost for this season but, it is 10:30pm and the temperature is still at the 42ºF so I don't know if it will be a frost.  Just got home after a long day in Memphis and am pretty tired so I am going to shut it down and go to bed.

WOW, big day today --- Tornadoes and lots of rain.

 

 We had some tornadoes around us, but the closest that did damage was about 40 miles away.  One went through a field about a mile from here, turned over a truck and a trailer filled with cotton, but not any real damage.  We had 1 and 1/2 inch of rain in about a 2 hour span and gusting winds at 30 to 40 miles per hour all day long. 

This morning it was warm and muggy, at 4 pm the temperature was 84ºF,   The temperarure right now at 11PM is 42ºF, a 42 degree drop.  The winds were out of the south all day, but after the front came through it switched and is now coming out of the North. Brrrrrrrr

 

Jeanne and Freds Grandchildren & us

Hi Yall, well we had a right nice rain last night, we got about 1/2 inch between 2AM and 6AM this morning. Here is a picture taken when we were up for the family re-union, this is Jeanne and Fred Faber's grandchildren, Jordan and Cameron Faber. Scott sent it to me today.

No rain yet --hopefuly it will rain tonight.

Just a lovely Saturday here, bought a bunch of Christmas stuff at the auction tonight.  I finished up our wood rack today, it is 6 ft. high, 10 ft long and holds 4 and 1/2 cords of firewood.   That will easily carry us through the winter with some left over for next year.  Now all I have to do is finish cutting the wood to put in it.  I have about 3 and 1/2 cords cut and split so only about one cord to go.  If it doesn't rain to much tonight and tomorrow I will probably finish that up on Monday or Tuesday.  Got to go to bed now so I won't sleep late, I like eating breakfast before going to church in the morning.

Sunday

Real pretty day here today, temp 76ºF(24ºC) It is supposed to be around 61ºF(16ºC) tonight.  Mostly a claer day with a few clouds scooting by.  Had a rain shower about 4 AM, it lasted about 15 minutes amd it was completely clear by daylight, so no problems getting to church.

 

 

Home from the auction --

Mary works at the auction Barn of Saturday nights, I go to watch the auction and I always buy something.  I like bidding on stuff and Mary keeps telling me no.  Lots of times I just bid on stuff to see her response.  Heh, heh It's neat when she shakes her fist at me.  I didn't spend much but had a good time.

 

 

another great day.

A little windy today but just a real great day.  Got a little firewood cut so when it gets cool enough to light a fire Mary and I can toast our toes in front of the fireplace.  Still no rain, but we may get some tomorrow afternoon and evening.

 

 

Everything going well ---

 

 Evert thing is going quite well down this-a-way.  Nothing to report from yesterday.  Now I am going out to cut some firewood, it is bound to get cool enough for a fire one of these days.  The weatherman says that todays temp is to be 76ºF.
