Title: March 6 "Mud Season" lounge
Post by: jbvb on March 06, 2025, 09:34:34 AM
Waffle machine is warmed up with fresh maple syrup and blueberry jam by the pitcher of batter. A plate of bacon ready, plus the usual muffins, cereal and fruit.  Hot water for tea and hot chocolate, Track Jack blend in the urn.

There's still a lot of ice on the fields here in the NH seacoast, but with overnight temperatures above freezing, the maple syrup season is probably done. Overcast all day, maybe with some drizzling.

Next week is town elections and the Town Meeting. Scanning tax paperwork is at the top of my list.

James thanks for the coffee.

Weather in South Jersey just turned to sunny/51.
10 minutes ago it was cloudy.

Not sure what's on the agenda today.

Everyone have a great day!!  :)

Morning all,

Cough, cough.  Achoo!  Sniffle.  Enough said.  :(

May still have enough energy to hit the workbench after lunch.  I hope.

Have a great one!

Afternoon, All!

29, feels like 16 here and everything is frozen solid in the northern mitten, except the large bodies of water.  I'll probably be there while I try to get to my car....  As with Karl, "Nothing new here."

Make it a great day, All, and stay safe!

If anyone is passing by on their way home or out to dinner, I've put the kettle on and poured my Project 3713 mug full of Old Brown Dog while my wife is cooking dinner. I fled the computer after lunch and went out to prune my fruit trees.  The pawpaws were trying to make a thicket, so that was hard work.  Most of what I did to the apples was water sprouts.  My Reliance peaches are too young to prune and I can't do the pears without a bucket of bleach solution to sterilize the tools between trees.

Sad about B&M 3713;  new Director at Steamtown didn't want to continue the relationship with the Lackawanna & Wyoming Valley NRHS group, so no idea of when/if any more restoration will take place.
