More rain and chilly weather

A chilly 50 degrees with 20 mph wind straight out of the north.  Had .7" of rain from overnight.  Heavy overcast and storm has moved to the east of us. Forecast is for 32 degrees next two mornings and 30 degrees Sunday morning, with highs in the 50's.

Will start off with a picture of great granddaughter Jessica from five years ago.  Is that a mischevious look or what?

Tuesday evening we went to a program at the local Library with Heartland Harmonizers out of Omaha.  This barbershop group brought eight members, including Bob Keefer - he used to be minister here at the Presbyterian church here and is now living in Omaha.  Visited with them after the program and gave business cards for the Men & Women of A-Chord in case any of them winter in Tesxas in the future.

In case you want to know what a five-dollar bill looks like after it is run over by a lawnmower, look to the right.  It was in the grass near the street and I stopped as soon as I saw iat, but it got sucked into the blades.  In looking up getting money for mutilated bills, many forms are needed and you should deliver to Washington, D.C.  I just threw it away.  Have had cigarettes from the street, but this is the first time had money on lawn from the street.

Have to take the water lines off the stool in the travel trailer because no water coming in (think it is calcium buildup, which the faucets did on our trip from Texas --took the spout ends off sink faucets and soaked them in vinegar and they worked).  I loosened the fitting and got about four towels worth of water running out of it, but couldn't get it completely off.  May have to take stool out and get it where can work on it.

Here are some photos of orchids that is at my

brother Darrell's place.  He and Lin had always

had orchids.

  Picture at right is of the neighbor's lawn (owned by the hospital) and the dandelions they let grow every year.

I sprayed most of them with 2-4D yesterday and look at picture below (Kind of hard to see unless you click to enlarge)-- they all promptly seeded!

Finally got the pickup unoaded yesterday.  The trike was first thing in, clear to the front.  Now, on a warmer day than today, I will put it together!
