You can find something positive in each day, even if some days you have to look a little harder.

 Cloudy, 46 degrees with a light NNW breeze that will pick up as the sun rises.  Today's high will be 64,tonight's low 47.  Cloudy tomorrow with a WSW breeze, a high of 72 and a low of 52.  Morning rain Sunday with a west wind, a high of 62 and a low of 47.  Showers Monday with a NW wind, a high of 62 and a low of 49.  Cloudy Tuesday  with a NW wind, a high of 67 and a low of 50.  Partly cloudy Wednesday and Thursday with stiff NW breezes, highs about 72 and lows of 51.  Partly cloudy next Friday with a north breeze, a high of 65 and a low of 51.  Sunny next Saturday with a north breeze, a high of 75 and a low of 53.  Sunny next Sunday, the 19th, with a WNW breeze, a high of 81 and a low of 56.  Pleasant the week of the 20th until Friday when there may be showers.  WSW breeze with highs in the low eighties and lows in the high fifties.

     Tiffany put new soil in the pie pumpkin tires yesterday and i got most of them planted.  We also got a lot of weeding done.  Rose and Tiffany finished planting the fall mums.  Despite the wind and cold we had quite a few customers.  We weren't the only ones taking advantage of no black flies even though we all had sweatshirts and jackets on.

     Lots of goldfinches at the feeders plus a pair of cardinals and rose breasted grosbeaks.  And of course the sparrows.  I don't remember seeing cardinals in summer before.  The babies in the nest of the meadow sparrow in the cold frame have flown away.  People often comment on how many birds we have around us, we are very fortunate.

     The wood has dried off enough for Darel to start bringing it in again.  Doug's hired man has it all split.  I found a patch of dock in the ditch on the corner behind the house.  Art weed whacked it down.  I have enough problems with bamboo behind the house without adding dock.  Last fall some corn silage was spilled on that corner, I wonder if the dock seed was in it.

      The cloudy sunshine says today will be nicer than yesterday, time to take advantage of it.  Enjoy your day, Sally
