Good Morning All. Perfectly clear and 49° on this fine Saturday morning. Lovely weather for a few days and then our Spring roller coaster weather kicks back in on Wednesday.

That 91° on Monday is a bit high and will definitely get the sap flowing in the trees in the neighborhood. The NWS has been a bit more accurate this month than any time in the last few months.
Nieces wedding is tonight, so I tried on my suit yesterday. I only wear it 1 or 2 times every 10 years. Fit fine and then my wife informs me that no suit, I need to find a sports jacket and pants to wear instead. Well, I don't wear them often either and after searching the closet I found everything and it also fit. Jacket is a little tight, but as long as I don't try to button it, I'll be OK. I don't plan on wearing a tie though. My overall wardrobe tends to be on the very relaxed end; sweatshirts, jeans, tee shirts, tennis shoes and shorts!
Speaking of digging stuff out, I had to dig out the weedeater again yesterday for some major trimming. Of course I ran out of cutting line after just 10 minutes. My back-up reel was empty too, so I reloaded both of them.
Gardening-wise, I planted a few pots of Squash seed for indoor starting that should be ready to transplant to the garden in early April. That's it other than watering the recent transplanted veggies.
I spent a frustrating hour yesterday searching for a couple of items that I have lost in the computer. I know that I didn't delete them, but I just can't locate where Win10 stored them.
Search hasn't helped yet.
No real plans for today other than tying up any loose ends in case we decide to spend the night in Dallas tonight.
Out in the train shed yesterday, I started adding the headstones to the cemetery. I have about 2 dozen in place with another 3 dozen or so to go. I also started the process of making a number of smaller rectangles to use as filler among the numerous "monument" types.
Today's photos are a few of the cardstock structures that are on the layout in various places. Not all pictures are of them in their actual resting places. They make some interesting structures and I use them mostly in the backgrounds, except for Mick's Food Market.

Alan - Best wishes on the follow-up surgery.
Grizzled - So glad to read that your wife is OK.
Louis - Amazon may be easy for you to contact, but around here there is no way to contact them on a phone. I spent 2 1/2 months trying to get them to stop delivering my neighbor's packages here, without success. I finally got a driver who was able to straighten it out, after 6 others pretty much ignored me even though they had to go the extra quarter mile to deliver. There were many others that were delivered when I wasn't home or I was out in the train shed. It wasn't a new neighbor, they just moved a trailer in and added an address to the property. When I did once get someone in customer service, they wanted the account number of my neighbor!
Mac - Amazon drivers out here in the boonies are better than DHS or FedEx drivers. But I have never seen the same Amazon driver twice. FedEx has given up before and gone through the extra expense of going to the Post Office and asking them to deliver. Their expense, not mine.
Everyone have a great day and weekend.
Sanding looks even less fun.
