It's been chilly around here and we got some rain yesterday.  It's after the noon hour and we finally hit 50 degrees.  I'm watching the forecast for hopefully a bit warmer weather so I can tackle some caulking of expansion joints, lol.

my windows are finally in. Well almost.   I have a five pane curved window on front of house.  Four of the panes came in with the required cream wrap on the outside and one came with white. They had to reorder pane but put the white one on so people wouldn't think I had drive through service.   They look really nice and it was cozy in here last night even with ac vents still open.  

next week I'll decide on shades.  The glass in new windows are kinda black glass which are terrific during the day but when you turn light on at night you are there for the world to see. 

the neighbor behind me tore off his faded out siding and replaced it with slate blue with white trim. Very pretty.  
 
the pit bull next door got loose when one of the kids didn't get her chain attached. Boy she can run. The kid was chasing her  and yelling mom.  I knew I didn't have a chance of catching her.  So I went over and knocked and one of the younger kids answered. I said is your mom home. No they said she's chasing the dog.  I guess she went out the other door.  I said I just wanted to tell her her dog was loose.  I said I hope she catches him. It's a girl they say. Oh well I hope she catches her.   They did.  She seems to be very sweet around her family but she makes me wary when she lunges at me or the workers.  

that's my excitement for the week.

Re: October 2020 Back Fence

[ Edited ]

This past Sunday I returned from Pigeon Forge with no issues. On Monday, I had  a left eye that was blood red in the white area. The optometrist said that it was likely caused by a hard cough or sneeze, both of which I had done on Sunday night. 

 

I still subbed 3 days despite being a little tired. Yesterday, when I returned from work I saw some bird seed on the ground under the feeder. Later that evening, I saw some birds using the feeder. It took time but they finally figured out that there was free food available for them.

 

Temperatures are below normal. It was 37 when I crawled out of bed today. Last  year, the temps were a little above normal with highs in the low 90s when normal is 80s. Yesterday, it was 60 for the high and today a similar high is expected. Definitely time for heat at night.

Betty @yock   congrats on the new window.

Hi @red&curly 

@viva923   I'm glad that you are happy with your new 'do

@KonaKat   Birds can view anything new as suspicious (even pigeons, lol).  I'm glad that birds found your feeder.
