White Stuff on the Ground …. Really

OK, I’ve got over my sulk! -3°C overnight, when I got up there really was white stuff, of the frozen variety, on the ground. Admittedly it was frost and not snow, and no where near the 5 feet plus that they got south of Buffalo.

Another gas refill was needed this morning, these trailers aren’t exactly R2000 when it comes to insulation efficiency. We headed out this morning to visit a Colemans (as in camping) store, as Lyn had been looking for a more comfortable camping chair for outside. We timed it right as not only is it the end of season, it is the week before Thanksgiving, so there was a good sale on. After that we went across to a large tool store where I got a few small goodies.

Back at the trailer I continued my battle with programming and Lyn started on a new quilt which needs at least 300 pieces of fabric to be cut. Before we left home I made a cutting template out of acrylic for this project, so hopefully that will help.

After lunch the temperature had climbed up into the mid 50’s, so an afternoon walk was in order. About half way round we met a couple we had spoken to before, and stopped for about half an hour to talk. The guy makes his own rifles as a hobby, not new style ones but ones that originated a few hundred years ago, he had some pictures, they were quite impressive.

The forecast for tomorrow is promising, so we are heading out to some gardens on the other side of Mobile Bay with a side trip to a hardware store and a fabric store on the outskirts of Mobile.
