Rainy Thursday





I am home today with my growling low back. I had two days off as well but I must have overdid yesterday. I had an acupuncture treatment on Tuesday and it really helped. But yesterday I lifted on the kayaks that needed to go back in the barn and bang! there was the pain again. I just forgot. I am not used to favoring my back much. It is cold and rainy so the Orchard is quiet today. Hopefully, I will be ready to work tomorrow and the weekend. I hope to take part of Sunday off since Gloria is having a birthday party.

I made bread yesterday and a wonderful Plum Kuchen. Pete and I ate half of the cake last night. I also made a clean out the garden stew. We will have that for lunches this week.

Sat in the sunshine on the deck yesterday for about an hour. It was a wonderful treat. We are supposed to get some really cold temps in the next few days. I am going to clean my heater registers today to prepare to turn on the furnace for the first time. I have been using my electric radiant heater off and on when I have needed it. The sunshine streams into this house on sunny days and provides cheap heat.

I am completing this on Friday a.m. before going to work. Back is still about the same but need to go in after 3 days off. I post a couple of photos for you. One is of Pete's house with the cornfield beside it; one is on the road to work and one is a long view of the Adirondacks aflame. Also stuck in a shot of my house in the fall.

Play well together my friends and watch S&L.
