Let There Be Light (And Heat)

 A chilly start, but it went up to the mid 50s today and it was positively gorgeous.


 Off came the blankets.

 Lorrie was kind enough to give them a good brushing and they were aired out on the fence.





 My lawn tractor spent the winter in the indoor and would not start today, so I had to drive my car in and jump it.  Fortunately it was a successful effort and I started dragging the outdoor and indoor.  Very soon I will have Gordy come up and he will rototil both and they will be beautious.
 Because the weather inspired me, I overdid it.  Started taking all the vines off the stone wall behind the barn...what a mess.

 I got 2/3 of it done and will have to finish when my energy returns.
 Before chores I did a little more work in the back pasture....


 Another rollieeee day for the 3 piggies.
 Looks like they were performing.
 This morning the temperature was around 30 in the barn....tonight-50.  Can't beat solar heat.



 No cooking tonight...
 Went down the road to the Golden Eagle instead.
Night all.


Not so bright in Daytona today, but 75-80 degrees.

 Grampa's van has come in handy, since they can park on the beach and didn't have to carry everything.




Just a couple more days.  I think they are about ready to come home.
