Greetings and welcome!
Last weekend ended up being a pretty decent weekend in the end. It was cold at night, but Saturday ended up cloudy & cool with no rain. Sunday was a bluebird day and brought shorts weather.
My tree across the driveway ended up a little bigger than I thought. I told my neighbor that volunteered to help clear it not to worry, I’d have it done in 20 minutes. As it was it ended up taking about 4 hours.
Because it was so green it was really heavy and I took it in 3 small truckloads. The bottom pieces were about 18″ diameter.
Being soaking wet red oak they weren’t much fun to lift into the truck. Ten of them sagged it pretty good and was about my limit too.
My time out there brought some wood ticks, maybe 5 or 6. There were again that many waiting in the cuffs and folds when I put my work pants back on the next day. They are certainly present where I was playing.
The gators have been a mixed bag. I have had days where I didn’t see one, and places where they were a cloud. I haven’t quite figured that one out yet.
On the way to Lakewood yesterday I must have hit a dragonfly hatch. A little this side of Knowels Creek Road the low areas along the road were full of them. We have some unusual species of them up here, and some are pretty funky looking. It’s all good though, they eat other bugs, like the gators and gnats.
We have a pretty nice week in weather ahead. There is a chance of showers and storms probably about Thursday. Other areas of the state will see some sooner, but around here Wednesday and Thursday are the best chance for rain, with the latter being the most likely.
Temperatures look seasonal right through the weekend. We are looking at 75-80 today, low 70s Wednesday and Thursday, then high 70s Friday and Saturday. Friday and Saturday look like great days. Sunday brings a bump up into the low 80s, along with a minor chance for rain later in the day.
Fishing should be good right about now. Tomorrow is a full moon, and that brings peak days on the solunar tables.
This particular full moon will also bring the longest and darkest lunar eclipse of the century tomorrow. Unfortunately we are on the opposite side of the planet when it will be happening early tomorrow afternoon.
I don’t have a lot for events this weekend. Maybe they don’t want to compete with the Porterfield Country Music Festival (June 16-19, TR-SU).
Friday there is a Gril Scout Rummage & Bake Sale at Athelstane Town Hall Sponsored by Girl Scout Brownie Troop 4569. Proceeds to fund troop projects & outings plus a donation to the Amberg Food Pantry

I missed it last week, but it was the Twin Bridge Ski Team‘s first show of the year. They will be back at it Thursdays and Saturdays for a while.
Well it is a very nice day outside so I am going to go and tackle some of the stuff to do out there. Have a good week and thank you for visiting!
