May is about over

 59º here in Clarinda, IA at 6:15 am Wednesday.  Received a little over .2" of rain late yesterday and through the night.


Yesterday, just as the rain came through, contractor unloaded shingles and supplies for the crew to install today.



I had a few pictures a few days ago of the Butterfly House we visited in Columbus, OH with our daughter.  Here is link to an album I made of that visit - CLICK HERE





Must put here photos of our great granddaughter Jessica - one on left taken first day of school last fall and on right last day of school this spring.




Here is brace I made a day or two ago for the door on our travel trailer.  It has an arm on the inside of the door, but if we are parked with any wind and door open, it tends to swing.  With bunge cord underneath to keep it tight and board to keep it in place, this will take a lot of stress off the hinges.



The street in front of our place was cemented with curb in 2012 when the Clarinda Hospital was built across the street from us.  The curb was proud to the lawn at that time and I have added some dirt, brought from the farm, nearly every year since.  It is gradually coming close to being even with the curb.  The house next door to the east, now owned by the hospital, has never been added to and the lawn is over 2" lower than the curb there.




















Taking dirt from just-planted no-till soybean field.

Every year
we have some
robins make nests
on bend in downspout
to gutters in the back
of the house.  Here
is one sitting on eggs.
























More another time.
