we are already at 41  don't know what it will get up to....and the sun should shine....a quiet day no major plans....I have rooted a coleus which should be planted today...new house plants for new house......our daughter has the most beautiful coleus this year...they got huge and unusual types...so now I will have 3 to put in our new house.......just need to get the surgery out of the way so we can move on......

Morning Kitty.  Think we have a couple of those flowering plants, blooming now.  Wife has some pots brought in from the pool area at night and some covered.

Done digging drains, placing landscape cover, pipes and joints.  Getting all sloped right.  Probably put the gravel in today.  Have about 15 tons left, hope it's enough.

Wife went to antique stores with one daughter yesterday but I don't see anything new here.  I was in bed just before she got back.

September is more than half gone.

Have a good day.

Good morning Ernie.....our sky looks bluer today then it has.....we had smoke drift from the fires out west.....hard to believe but it was there  glad your project is moving along....15 tons seems like a lot of gravel to move....have fun and save your back.....I would have loved to join you family antiquing,....need to get out and see people....but it isn't safe enough yet....

Morning Kitty.  Glad the smoke has moved out, was a cool day though, 59 I think.

Got all the gravel moved after the pipes were placed in landscape cover and tilted.

Moved the gravel mostly with our little backhoe loader.  A little bit with the shovel and there's

some clean up work to do, lots.

Today, I have to cover the gravel with landscape cover and put some dirt over it, with the machine again.

Wife got a picture on wood and some berry things in the shape of a reef.

Have a good day.

Ernie

woke up to 41 degrees.....chilly.....no plans for our day as yet....wanted to go to new house with a painter to get an estimate on the job....no flat ceiling in the living room....and it is cathedral.....not a job we want to do....would take lots of ladder height....hope your day is wonderful....

Good Monday morning to Miss Kitty and Ernie and all those who may tune in ~

A most beautiful (although chilly) sunny morning here by the shore of Lake Erie.  The sun is shining and it is making "dust" throughout the Great Room.  Need I say more?   Dusting and washing windows will be on my list today.

I see neighbors placing their corn stalks and mum plants in place.  It's time to think about doing that for sure.

Enjoy the week.  I hope all is well with both of you.

((hugs))  Susan

Morning Kitty.  Good you can get into new house to look at painting job.

My wife has been looking at colors for a couple months or more for kitchen and dining rooms.

Chilly mornings but nice days.  Brandy and I finally got back to our walks yesterday, was hot then chilly, left at 3:30pm.

Finished the drains, a desert out there now.  Maybe plant some grass when the rain starts back up.

Have a good day.

Ernie

Hi Susan.  Hope Finn is doing well.  Brandy and I got back to our walks, had stopped for a backhoe project and a little my back.

I created a lot of dust and no rain for a while but soon the Fall rains will be here and won't stop.

I see corn stalks and pumpkins but will prob wait for October.

Brandy and I switching to afternoon for walks briefly, warming up again though.

Have a good day.

Ernie

Good morning Ernie....woke up to 39 degrees...must have been a frost in the lower valleys...we are sitting on top of a hill...we did bring in our house plants a couple of days ago....too cold for the peace lilies .....hope your day is wonderful...

Morning Kitty.  A little warmer here this morn, 43.  Brandy and I will probably head out about 8:30 AM.

I'm working on making the lawn level and rock free with a shovel and rake.

I have some gravel left over.  Will dig down to the foundation at one end of the house where water collects and fill it in with that gravel.

Hope your back isn't hurting to badly.

Have a good day.

Ernie
