Greetings, gang.
Rise and shine you sleepy heads. Another sunny day in store for the remote reaches of northern Iowa this morning. Right now it's 48 headed for 66. Forecasters say low 80s by Friday then 70 and rain on Saturday.
Bereavement group was interesting yesterday. Also got in my first full (14 mile) bike ride of the season. By the time I was finished parts of my body were telling me I shouldn't have done that yet. Also ran the train and had a fire in the fire pit after supper. Then I walked down to the next block to check on some storm sewer work the cit y is having done. On the way back I ran in to a neighbor. We stood and talked for a good 20 minutes. Toward the end of the conversation he told me that he had planted one tree for a neighbor who had passed away shortly before my wife and wanted to know what kind of tree my wife would have like to see planted. I was stunned. This is truly a remarkable neighborhood.
Today I need to finish the laundry and finish paying the bills. Also on tap is a trip to the gym.
All stay safe.
Tom
