Taking a break from working outside - pretty much done for the day. Tomorrow is supposed to be cloudy but no rain. Finish off then.
Drove to Costco to get some wire shelves for the pantry area. I buy beans etc. in 25 pound bags which nicely fill a 5 Gallon food-service bucket with a Gamma Lid. Things were getting a bit disorganized with just stacking so now I will have a place for everything. I also am using 2 Gallon buckets for items I use in smaller quantities - salt, TVP, pasta, instant refried beans, etc...
It was nice this afternoon to drive through the farmlands and see the seasonal changes. The corn has been harvested but the stalks were left standing. Now these are being cut for silage for the dairy farms. A lot of fun to see the raptors perched on nearby power lines - cutting the corn deprives the rodents of protective cover. A real feast day for the birds.
Lots of migrating birds are moving into the area. Too early for the snow geese but more birds than usual. This place is incredible for birds - something I want to know more about.
Surf for a bit. Dinner and then the CERT meeting.
