i woke to bright sunshine coming through the windows. Imagine. I don't recall how long it has been since seeing the sun, but it feels like a long time.There were intermittent clouds and short periods of spitting rain. I gingerly did laundry with time between loads. I'm still anxious about potential sewer issues. I never hurts to stretch loads out to do between other tasks -- cleaning, going for a walk, household accounting and other mundane activities.
I haven't provided a cemetery update for a while, so here goes. The fence posts went up last weekend with little follow up activity during the days after the flooding storm. Today, four men worked most of the day to put the fence boards up. It looks pleasant, but does change the view of the closer area, while the opposite side is still clear from the height of the kitchen window.
I went for a walk while waiting for a supper takeout order. Halfway through the circuit spitting rain began and a continuous strong wind rose. With the wind blowing in my face, I realized that the rain I heard on my hood, was actually tiny ice pellets. I've always said that this type of precipitation could provide a great facial or depilatory. It easily removes the top layer of skin while the accompanying winds can freeze the top few layers. Skies will be clear tonight, so temperatures will fall below freezing for the first time in a while.
Looking at the fence today made me think of a song my dad enjoyed. Cole Porter wrote it and a great many people have recorded it. I chose the version by a favourite singer of dad's. Keep safe. Enjoy!
Don't Fence Me In -- Gene Autry
