Another cold front came through last night bringing very strong winds and cooler temperatures. By this morning the winds had calmed down, but even with sunny skies, the temps remained cool all day. Since we had nothing pressing this morning, we walked our three and a half mile route around the fort. Along our walk we saw this orange tree just loaded with oranges--someone gets plenty of fresh juice for breakfast.



Following breakfast, John went down to Lou Green's house to cut some branches that were rubbing on her garage roof. When he got back, Stan dropped in for a little visit and then John went to Ken Spencer's to see about a door that needs to be replaced.

John is still trying to get the golf cart battery situation resolved, so before we ate lunch, we went over to John and Lois Carlson's to see if he had any ideas about what to do. This was the first we had seen the Carlson's since we got back to Fort Clark--that meant it was not a short in and out visit. Lois got a Kindle (which I covet) and showed me how it works and also let me try it out while the guys were visiting and went to look at the house John C. is remodeling.

We made a quick run to the post office before returning home. John had gotten out our Christmas tree, so I spent some time trimming it this afternoon--should get it done sometime tomorrow.

Every evening we have some visitors in our yard. Here are a couple that showed up over the past few days.


This evening we watched The Biggest Loser and worked on the jigsaw puzzle--it's almost finished.
