On Friday afternoon, with a little help from my tenant, I got the log splitter off the tractor and then got the yard rake on. I did not take a photo but I got one side of the driveway repairs,,no more ruts.
Then I cleaned off the back deck. I moved and stowed all the furniture and covered the chiminea and tied the cover on the grill.
Sunday was a chilly, raw, miserable day in the mountains so early in the morning I built a fire to keep the house warm. A good fire can get the living room up to 70 degrees, and that keeps the heat from kicking on.
I had found a recipe for a German Barley Soup and decided to make a pot of it for lunch for the week. I need brats, barley and chicken broth.
Also required celery, carrot and a leek. I am proud to say the leek came from my garden.
It is interesting how some trees are almost bare and yet others have all their leaves.
While the soup was simmering I started peeling kisses for cookies for my co-workers.
As the day went on the temperature dropped. Here it is at 39.7. That was the high for the day.
I took this photo so you all can see the deplorable conditions I work in :-)
In no time at all the cookies were done and cooling.
The clouds rolled in and by later afternoon this was my view,,,nothing.
