         Well what the heck ! Another awesome sunrise today. Sure is a great way to start the day. Cool yes, but sure reminds me of the camping in the desert. Amazing early sunrises, cold mornings the amazing sun rises and all is wonderful! The big difference here is we have green grass and trees.  
         Nice morning walkabout town for while sure do love this time of day! Chat with a few people here and there and the neighbor as well,
another wonderful sunrise,
can take this everyday !
        Heading down the road a bit later came across this guy wandering near the houses?
What is he doing here midday?
Then he scurried away
             After lunch Suzie going to help her Dad with the Mennonite Relief sale spreadsheet stuff and I proceeded to mow some lawn here.. 5 Acres takes me about 3 hours if all goes well. And all went well until the last acre, ran out of gas. Good thing I keep and extra gallon handy just for this problem.
          Put some more gas in and parked the mower, Need to go out of town for gas. so will get some more in the morning, already after 4 pm.
        Just as I  ran out of gas the neighbor Barry came over with his  John Deer tractor, trailer and chain saw, to help us cut up a fallen limb near the back of the property, and take it to the burn pile. Gotta love friendly neighbors !
Barry and his chain saw
        Made quick work of it and Suzie came out to help us as well. This was all done in a few minutes. Many hands makes it go pretty quick.
Thanks Barry so much for your help
back to the burn pile
          I mowed a bit more lawn then home for supper . Tonight  gonna cook inside, cause it was supposed to rain. The weather Gods were wrong again ! No problem, gonna do a meal I have been wanting to do for a very long time.  Pork Tenderloin with Cranberries with Balsamic glaze. Had this years ago and was calling my name. You can click HERE for the recipe or my recipe blog on the top  right sidebar.
this is a very tasty meal
love it!
         Actually a pretty good day, dress for the weather and enjoy the great outdoors, exercise and fresh air, gotta love it !
          Glad that you stopped buy for a visit, coma back anytime. Love to ear from you.

  1. That raccoon had its mask on. Strange seeing one out in mid day. Maybe it was sick or just had insomnia.

  2. Nice job on the mowing. Wonder what they'd do without you to take care of all that grass? ;c)

    1. They have cut it themselves when I am not here or pay someone to mow it.

    1. It sure is but lots of space to move around.
      Nice neighbors are a bonus in a small town.

  4. Too early to mowe the lawn out here. Need a few warm days to get everything growing.

  5. Oh dear. A raccoon midday...I think he might be sick. Stay far away.

    1. No way going near that raccoon, I was in the car when I took the picture.
      Yuck is right, but nicer weather just around the corner.

  6. I agree with Marsha on that raccoon. Be careful there. Our weather predictors have been wrong most of the time too. I wish they'd get it right or they'd find someone who could.

    1. Oh yeah stay away they can be very vicious.
      I think predicting the weather is a crapshoot, it can change at any given moment.

  7. That was a very furry raccoon! I did have to go check out the recipe, looks great! Lots of grass to mow there, I can't believe you can do five acres in 3 hours! Must be a wide swath mower!

    1. The recipe is very tasty with the cranberries and balsamic glaze.
      This mower has a 61 inch deck, is a zero turn and goes pretty fast, faster than the old 36 mower took almost 6 hours.

  8. Sounds like you two have been having some very pleasant days enjoying family time.

    Catching up on my reading...next need to catch up on our blog...been busy traveling and visiting with our son and his family near Detroit. As nice as it is in the desert it is nice to be parked with grass and trees.
