32 degrees this morning - April 16, 2025

 44º now at 9:00 am on Wednesday -- was 32º when we woke up here in Clarinda, IA...........is summer still on the way?


Phyllis got a bag of meatball mix when in Malvern last week.  She added a few ingredients and made up a couple batches.  After getting a meal, she froze the rest and will grab them out of freezer as needed.







We have quite a few broken limbs and some complete trees down on the railroad bank just past our hedge.  I started cleaning them up, just using a battery-powered sawzall.

One big limb fooled me when it came down and I couldn't get out of the way fast enough.  The bark at the end/edge of the cut can sure scrape things!

Last week I expressed my opinion on the neighbor's yard non-care on Facebook.  It is owned by the hospital and various workers sometimes work on it.  By Tuesday nothing had been done, so I mixed up some 2-4D and sprayed their dandelions in the morning.  In the afternoon a worker came over with a weed eater and used it to rip the dandelions out of the ground.

Yesterday I went to Shenandoah to donate
blood and was turned down.
Nurse said the wound was too
open and fresh.
I have another appointment here in
Clarinda late next week.  Hope it
is healed enough to not cause problem.

When still in our Texas home this spring I was getting some parts for the trailer and mentioned to the worker at the RV place that I maybe should put a fresh rubber coat on the roof.  She replied that it should be done every three years!  We have had this trailer for 10!.  So last week I ordered the stuff and Monday started on the job.  Roof is to be cleaned with a good soapy (Tide) solution with a soft-bristled brush, rinsed and let dry.



Here I have maybe a third of the roof cleaned and rinsed.

At right, starting to roll on the thick stuff.
Above is after getting that section done.



Using a brush to get along edges and at the front of the trailer.
