I don't know for sure what the temperature got up to. But it sure was a great day here in Wisconsin. It was nice enough for me to declare it to be the first official day of yard work. I am planning on building a retaining wall behind my firepit in the backyard this year. So I carried a bunch of the stones I picked up while on the family farm a couple of weeks ago, back to the area I am planning on building the wall. It was quite a workout. I am sure I will be stiff tomorrow.
Other than that, pretty much a lost weekend. The youngest daughter has had the flu all weekend. I am bogged down in work stuff so I tried to do a couple hours on Saturday. Couldn't really get my head into it though. Tonight she had a temperature of almost 105. Scary.
On the corn burning front, we are not burning much right now. Yesterday the burn pot got plugged up and it spilled a bunch of corn over the edge of the pot, down into the ash pan. I cleaned some of it up but let the rest go. Since we have only been burning lightly the last couple of days, it hasn't been enough to incinerate the spilled corn. Instead, it is sitting down there smoldering and smelling. I will be glad when spring arrives in full.
...Except for the fact that shortly after spring comes "Are you going to get back to painting the house?" THAT season, I am not looking forward to.
