Same here last night. Had a nice fire going before bedtime and ended up cracking the bedroom window a bit for the cold fresh air. Another frost/freeze warning forecast for tonight so another fire tonight. The wind has been coming straight off Lake Huron and is darn cold.
And that is why I don't put in a garden until Memorial Weekend at the earliest.
My buddy brought over a truck load of leaves and we noticed a fresh pile of tree trimmings at the far end of my compost heap. My tree service friend must have dropped a load while I was at work. So I ended up with a nice pile of fresh green & brown to start the season with. The pile that cooked all winter is 12' wide, 7' high, and nearly 40 ' in length. I am looking forward to turning that over in the next few days. Black gold!
After leaves we putzed with the LTD. Got the bad water pump removed with no fuss at all. I was surprised that it came out so easily. It's been on the car for 55 years. Degreased and washed the engine a couple of times and that turned out well too. Block, timing cover, and other parts still show original paint was preserved under all the grease and grime. Gotta love the little victories.
