How is Your Day?
Comments (14)A bit hectic. It's a gorgeous day--warm enough that I left my jacket in the car when we went shopping (even though we had to walk in from the back of the lot.) So, anyway... Up early to tear around the house getting it ready for our open house this afternoon. DD came over to help clean and 'stage' the place. We had a big platter of cookies in the kitchen, hot cider on the range, scenting the house. Real estate agent got here about quarter to 12, and by 12:02 we had our first looker--we hadn't even gotten out the door, ourselves. We went out to lunch, then did some shopping while our real estate agent worked hard for us. We did pop home for a moment to leave off our leftovers, and the place was buzzing. All in all, he had 8 parties go through in 3 hours. GREAT turnout! That's more than twice as many lookers that went through in 6 months with our first agent. Not expecting miracles, but at least this guy's getting folks in the door. At least a couple of them did seem fairly interested. Fingers crossed that something comes of this....See MoreDo Not Call Me Curly Sue Today!
Comments (10)We've been having afternoons in the upper 40s F - Much above average for SE Wisc. The weather service is predicting the return of normal winter tomorrow. They expect it to start snowing by 3 am Thursday and throughout the day drop 5 to 8 inches of snow and then turn colder. My snow shovel is tuned up and the snow-blower is ready. I walked 2.75 miles today for exercise - I know what I'll be doing tomorrow for exercise! Next week on the 18th, I hope we don't have a winter storm. That's the day I ferry my friend's car to O-Hare Field (Chicago) to pick him up. He's flying in from half way around the globe from the southern hemisphere....See MoreHigh winds and Rain
Comments (1)Sue, Glad you didn't have any damage, but I feel for the farmers who lost outbuildings. Here in central Texas we have temps in the mid-70's, overcast with the promise of some rain this evening (in Texas rain is never "threatened", it is promised!). Our crops are doing fine--rain just in time for the corn, the first cutting of hay is in and the vegetable gardens are going gung-ho. Hope your spring improves soon....See MoreGood Morning
Comments (6)Gorgeous day here, 77 a little after 1pm. I wasn't going to do anything outside, just sit out there and enjoy it; but you know how that goes. I decided to bring in the cast aluminum table and chair set from the garden and the little bistro table and chairs down in the orchard. They all fit into the storage barn like a jigsaw puzzle among the stacks of wicker chairs. Finally put my little cast iron statue that sits on a pedestal in the sunken garden away for the winter too. By the time I was through, I was out of breath and sweating. Just from that little bit of activity. The weatherman says this may be the last day of truly nice Fall weather....See More
