My phone said the low overnight would be in the 40s.
The forecast must've been mistaken because we had a significant frost last night.
Keeping my fingers crossed that most of the transplants outside are hardy enough to have withstood it.
I do have a dozen cukes still in the greenhouse, so if they suffered, there's back up.
Crazy weather we've had: some summer, some spring, some fall and who knows what's to come.
That's North Idaho: it can be fickle frequently when it comes to weather expectations.
In other news, my brother Mike posted a photo showing his West Point graduating class throwing up their hats 60 years ago today.
Congratulations, Mike. Sixty years later, we're still proud of you.
My high school graduating class friends are getting together for our monthly lunch today.
Sixty-one years later, we're still having and fun and very grateful to be doing so.
They're putting up some new temporary signs along the roadways out here in the Selle Valley.
In addition to Colburn-Culver Road being closed for bridge work, today and tomorrow, Selle Road at the train crossing will be blocked off.
I'm sure that everyone who has slowed their vehicles down to 1 or 2 mph to go over the crossing will be cheering if they're fixing that killer bump at the crossing.
Speed bumps are breeze compared to this one. So, it will be nice to see it fixed.
Bill and I are predicting a heavier traffic load on our road as drivers find a way to navigate where they're going and how they're going to get there.
If you see a white horse in a field, you're supposed to make a wish. Does this scene mean that you get two wishes?
This pretty white horses are out on Hickey Road, if you're in need of a wish granted.
I've been meaning to post this photo of our next door neighbor Steve.
He was so proud of his new Kubota, with all its bells and whistles, that he drove it over to our house one day last week just to ask Bill a couple of questions---and maybe to show off the tractor too.
We live on Kubota corner with four homes (two on Selle Road and two on South Center Valley Road) with various-sized Kubotas.
Cal Russell, up there at Boundary Tractor, should be a happy guy if he ever drives through our neighborhood.
We can attest from years of experience that they are very good tractors.
Our Coleman canoe, which has been need of fixing for more than 20 years hasn't moved much in that time, except for the night the wild wind blew three hear in Sept. 2024. We found it several feet from its usual spot.
I don't know what we'll ever do with it, but for now it looks kinda neat out there in those waves of thick grass in the hay field.
Today I'll be taking these horseshoes---some are Lily's; some, Lefty's---over to Cari and Doug Stockdale.
They have agreed to put together a flower sculpture like the one they donated to the Oden Hall auction.
That one went for $150, so I sat on my hand for the last bid.
Later, they told me they'd make me another one WITH a heart in it.
So, stay tuned.
Since Victor Webanyama is playing in the NBA finals game tonight and because I love this commercial, I thought it would be fun for today.
Guess that's about it for this cold and clear Monday.
Some lawnmower work and putting the final touches on the travel trailer for our visitor lead off the "to do's" today.
Happy Monday.
