And we're enjoying daytime temps in the low to mid seventies here and at
night it hasn't been getting below 40F. I think the furnace ran about 3
minutes around 3 AM this morning, just enough to knock the chill off the
air. Furnace thermostat is set at 68F.
It's starting out to be another beautiful day here but I've got to take
the mower to the shop. Miz Anne tried to mow up a brick bat and the old
thing (mower not Miz Anne) just doesn't work right anymore. Still have a
kitchen sink leak to fix and I want to start my seeds today. Guess which
will get done first!
