Morning all,

Headed to 74 F today.  Probably a walk later this afternoon.

Will start working on the backdrop prep today.

Good Morning Folks;

The coffee on.

First Karl hope all went well for your better half yesterday.I had the cataract surgery a couple years ago and it really helped my vision. The old pilot in me noted the 'horsehair' clouds in your photo, they only happen in very high altitudes (40,000 up usually), are ice crystals and come from the blow off of thunderstorms. Usually means bad weather heading your way in a day so if I am right you have storms arriving today.

Jeff love the picture.

As for us in Florida we could use rain. The dry conditions have caused a lot of brush fires, mostly north of us. I finished my never ending bridge project yesterday. Time to put the time into the track so will make that the next part. Dinner with friends rounds out the day. Hope everyone has a great Saturday.

I like the idea of a holiday that has its own special cookie!

(Not easy to find here, I had to special order them.)  

Cool start to the morning, it got down to 29 last night, heading to 54 today.   Bright and sunny, though.  No Scotch Club today, the 2 primary members are both away.  

I did some more light scenery work yesterday on the farm, pictures later today.

Morning all,

I never heard of Anzac Biscuits before, Dave, but they look like they'd go well with a spot of tea.

Game night tonight. Between now and then a trip to the grocery store and maybe a little workbench time.

The Reading Railroad train station located in my hometown of Schuylkill Haven.

Have a great one!

They're supposed to be easy to make:  https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/anzac-biscuits-recipe  (Wife is the baker in the family...)
