Day 2977

A cold cloudy windy day here today and 7. Its 4 here now.
Ruby went to her TOPS meeting this morning. After breakfast I went out and hooked the trailer to the lawn tractor and loaded the short pieces of lumber etc that we had left over from the garage build and packed in the garage for firewood. I then straightened out the metal shed that had moved with the wood pieces packed against it and also straightened & secured the chain link fence around the dog pen. After that I cut up the skids we had and packed in the garage for more firewood. All here for supper and after supper Damien & Payton went into Woodstock trick or treating and me, Noel & Sarah took Landon & Charlie out around here. Ruby still not feeling well enough to go out in the cold.

After a late breakfast this morning I went out and took the kids bikes, etc from the garage and stored them in the shed. Also stored the lawn chairs in the shed.
