Title: Sunday, 22 March
Post by: deemery on March 22, 2026, 10:16:01 AM
The calendar says it's spring, so that's why there's snow in the forecast.  It's supposed to change to rain later today.  Typical March can't-make-up-its-mind weather.  The guy at the farmers market I buy maple syrup from said he's having a very good sugaring year so far, with more below freezing nights and above freezing days forecast.  I probably have enough to last until the fall in my current jug, but I bought some extra Just In Case.  

So pancakes, NH local maple syrup, bacon and sausage from the farmers market, some cut up fruit.  La Brea Blend in the coffee pot, and Irish Breakfast and some herbal teas for the tea drinkers.  I hope someone from Florida will bring fresh orange juice.

Yesterday I tackled the barn foundation again.  Previously I cut out the piece I installed upside down and glued it back.  Then I filled in the saw crack and carved the rocks.  Yesterday I painted the rocks and it came out good.  Today I'll work on the doors in the front of the foundation.

Go GREEN!

Sugaring season seems to be going well in Michigan, as well.

Afternoon all,

Got any of that Irish Breakfast tea left, Dave? I could go for a spot of tea.   ;D

Back at the workbench pondering how to paint a mustache on an HO scale figure or two.

Have a great one!
