Good Evening....
Well, had a good day today of finishing off some stuff for stuff's sake....and found that a local vets group had some wreathes stolen from them...they were preparing a memorial service for the Battle of the Atlantic...and, someone came and took them...sigh...guess you need to post guards now just to keep wreathes in place
Oh...and, yes, the little Spring did catch the sparrow...a la Serval out in the savannah....

tree68 There - the blueberry plants are in. Their new home cost well more than the plants themselves, but I may include a few flowers there, too. Hopefully, I'll see plenty. I do like blueberries. Next planting project will be a couple of big pots with leaf lettuce - another favorite. And the weather for the project was beautiful.

locomutt Are you growing Muffins also?! Love blueberry muffins, maybe you could send a few this way?!
Next time I go to the home improvement store, I'll see if they have any muffin plants....
Of course, we all have to wait - the plants won't be ready to produce until fall, at best...
Tree; untill fall gets here would blueberry jam on a slice of corn bread do well?? Shirley just put up jam last week. OH , it is good on pancakes also, with warm coffee.

Mudchicken....Sorry, I've not checked on here yesterday and have just eyeballed your note. Lord willing, we'll be here in our domain of Munice at that time. If you really get close, fill us in on your schedule and see if it fits for an eyeball......We are not right in Muncie....actually 5.5 mi. west of our central city, city / county building. Area identified as our addition built around the Elks Country Club golf course and formally, known as the Westbrook County Club golf course. Location is between road 500\W and 600W. I'm sure you know...our grid system marks everything here as such.

Looks like Madam La Mook might want to batten down the hatches.
I went to a meeting at my church this evening, and as I started downhill, I looked south over the valley, and saw that it was raining (no rain at home); when I reached city level (about 1200 feet down), it was only sprinkling, but it had rained. It's only 3 1/2 miles from home to church now, but I use more gasoline getting home now than I did when I lived about 12 miles away. Sunday evening, we ate out on Katie's deck, for the weather was fine for that.We have wonderful views of the hills north and east and of the lake to the west from her deck (my deck view is limited to the yard fences--but I am quite content with my digs. No outside eating last night or tonight--it's too chilly for such. The cherry trees are losing their blooms, and the petals pile up on horizontal surfaces..
I saw a few more robins and magpies as I went out this morning for my constitutional exercise.
Spring is coming! Spring is coming (not BOC's Spring)! May it be soon.

Ns has an autorack train waiting to come out of the siding.Time for bed.This afternoon I will mow the swamp.Breakfast is all set.
Good Morning...
Another day of sun but with a bit more of the cloud thing happening..we are posta get a 30% of those ol' t'underin'boomers this afternoon...kinda....
Not much going on the train front here..but we did manage to get an operating session...with no pileups, incidents, or accidents to speak of...wonder what ol' Murph has planned for me.....
Mudchicken....I eyeballed the area {on the computer}, you mentioned your work would be located and see you would be in the large curve area of the north / south NS thru Muncie...east of Muncie proper.
It appears from what you describe {N Gavin St}, would be in the area where several Triple Crown trains have pulled off the inside of that large curve...{Stringlined ?} and right beyond is where there is a "Y" that allows a route east, and the other leg of the "Y" proceeds towards downtown Muncie and works it's way on south.
To further clear my location with the above info...just south of the large curve {you might be working with}, you find route 32. That is the route I mentioned in my email to you. From there, following that route {west}, would bring you right thru Munice, and on out the west side where you pick up from the information in my email to you...example: Past the former Borg-Warner plant}, and so on.
I have reached the time in life when I have to look at my atomic clock to see what day it is!
Tree - not much real rain. Just sprinkles - but we take any moisture we can get.
Driver saw some small birds - so pounded the bird books and puter to find that they were migrating yellow-rumped warblers. They liked our driveway and garage roof for whatever reason. Only stayed for a lunch or two.
Still have the woodpecker/flicker trying to take down a tree.
And...heading off to fishing hole in a few min. It isn't all that warm (70), but think fishing fever has finally arrived!!! I am taking a good book to read and the promise of lunch afterward! Beware Bass!

Got the front lawn mowed before the shower set in - looks like a damp afternoon. At least passers-by have a nice view. The back yard can wait. But not for long...
Been working on a "bucket brigade" house. Just a front and a roof that bucket brigade teams can throw water on and fill up a bucket for bragging rights. I'll post a picture when it's done.
It's a companion to another prop I built that has hinged 'flames' in the windows so kids can knock them down with a hose. The things I do.
Both will make an appearance at a fire truck muster at the local historical museum in June.

afternoon
swamp is mowed.got a little sprinkle today too.more errands to run.
MookieOver these many years, I am always amazed at the "things you do"!
Tonight was Skywarn Class...
We really do get the occasional severe weather here that doesn't involve snow...
Good Morning
Sunny and 76F this afternoon...this morning it is kinda coolish and a bit muggy/damp...
Today is get things mailed off and get some LHS shopping done..sigh...as well as getting some more basic buys as SWMBO has just pointed out..sigh..which means driving a few more miles out of the way, again...sigh....
Anyhoooo...have a good day!!
A nice morning here in central Indiana. A bit of rain overnight...have not looked at the rain gauge yet. Hoping grass will dry soon, as it's my 3rd day and that means another mowing....and to make sure of that, it was fertlized again yesterday, and with additional rain....Oh boy...!
Mod. temps here this morning....just a nice Spring morning...
To make it even nicer...{Jen}, had that special phone call just to "check in" before 8 this morning....And advising me to slow down....
Ok, but after I run the vacuum this morning, waiting for grass to dry. Dishwasher to unload too. Car to put thru the car wash...but it's not "real" dirty...but i'll get to it soon....Merry Maids to come Monday, 13th...
Everything green, is very, now....Wish people in the area would do more against their dandelions....The seeds blow around. Some do, but many don't bother with them....
Understand M C will most likely be visiting our Munice town re: some RR work soon.....Know just where the area involved is.
Wishing a good day to all.....
Q - I agree on the slow down a little. Before we know it, you will be helping the Merry Maids!
Our spring color only lasted a couple of days. Between frost, snow, rain, wind - it never had a chance. But while out on a fishing expedition yesterday (one bite) we found that this year everyone is decorating their lawns with cute little yellow flowers! Maybe going to make wine? Hmmm?
Still cloudy, sprinkly but about 70 - so will enjoy until next week when summer arrives with a bang!
Hi
busy day today watching the 765 come through NW ohio.Had 2 NS locals and a csx local come through as well.Farmers were out in full force planting today as well.need to go check on Matt.Found a piece of strawberry pie.Thank you.

I knew there was a reason I bought the fertilizer with the weed control in it.....
Got some rain today, more due tonight, so just putzed around with little projects today. Got the electric rotor tiller out yesterday and spent a half hour working up the garden. For all the rain we got, it was very dry. Will probably work it up again on Saturday before we plant, just to get it worked a little deeper.....
Plan for tomorrow is to finish up most of the yard work around the house, make it look pretty for the summer. After that, might get the sheet of foam I have sitting in the garage and start work on some displays for our curio cabinets, so I can have my model trains on display.......

Yes, Jen....I know.....They even dropped my charge 10 dollars....Wonder if they didn't find enough dirt for me to qualify....Just kidding....{but they did drop the charge}...we get dirt just like anyone else, and I have to get at it after so much time....
But Bev is correct...need to slow down at times.
good friday morning
breakfast is ready.need to get Matt off to school.Have errands and a delivery to make.To all the moms out there have a happy mothers day this weekend.
Good Morning!!
Rain be falling on our'n heads here..and cooling off....
Now...as to coffee..is there a 120 cup urn of the stuff that I can take wit' me? There is? Good!! I'll take that to go please!!!

Randy....It takes a bit of effort, but boy the result sure makes a difference. This yard has been treated now for over 35 years, and it certainly has made a difference. My way of doing it is for our yard ser. folks apply 4 treatments / season...and by paying them up front ea. season, a pretty good discount in price.
Hi everybody! Man, we have had rain most of the day. This morning, around 9:45, when my brother & I left the house, it wasn't doing anything. By the time we got on I-65 NB, it started, and when we got up to downtown Louisville for my dr. appointment, it was pouring. This was my 6 mo. checkup w/the cardiovascular dr. He said everything looks good, and set me up w/an appointment for Nov. 8th.And it poured on us all the way back down I-65 to Shepherdsville. Currently, we have a "dry" sky. Maybe its over for the rest of the evening/night.
Hope you all have had a good week, and wishing you all a very good weekend. See you all later.
Raining here, with more to come.
Hopefully Boston will be dry on Sunday - Daughter, her hubby, and grandson attending Red Sox game.
I always spread "weed and feed" when I decide to fertilize the lawn - and can see the difference.
...To all Diner customers.....I can report Charlie, {Mudchicken}, has arrived in Muncie, and has finished his work.
We made contact, and I guided him to our domain here and he found us on the first try...Not an easy task, for someone whom has not done so before.
We had a pleasant, visit and conversation for almost two hours. And now he is on the way out of Muncie and headed for the Cincinnati area, roughly 100 to 125 mi. or so distant from here. So all is well with him and he will arrive there this evening.
