Cool Weather Continues

Our day started off rather cool and the weather is suppose to continue that way most of this week with expected highs only reaching into the 60's.  It sure felt like fall weather when we took our walk early this morning.

We had made arrangements with Direct TV to upgrade our service to high definition.  That meant a service call to install new receivers and get our TV's hooked up along with the DVD players.  This was suppose to be done last Friday, but the tech called in sick so the installation got moved to Saturday.  Mid-morning on Saturday, DTV called and said they were short technicians and would do the job first thing Monday morning.  Sooooo, this morning we were up early to get ready for the technician to arrive by 9 a.m.  He called around 10 a.m. and said he go tied up and was on his way.  The guy finally arrived around 10:30.  After an hour or so, we were set up with HD TV and he was on his way.

John's big project for the day was pulling out old strawberry plants and starting a new bed.  It took the better part of his day, but he now has the new bed started.  While he was busy in the garden, I baked a couple of loaves of bread and worked on listing a few items from the shop on ebay.  We think some things might have a better chance of selling on there than on our sale.

Late this afternoon we headed to Bemidji to pick up the license plates for our new car and to also take care of some banking.  We stopped at BK for a quick supper and then went across the parking lot to the grocery store to pick up some fresh fruit and a few other items that we needed.  

Several folks have been asking to see photos of our new car as well as our garden so they can see how our crops are coming along.  These pics were taken this evening.


Our new car!  It's much more comfortable
than our little Honda.
