107 this morning.  We had a high of 71° yesterday and it is supposed to get to 75° today then cooling down starting tomorrow and it looks good for rain on Saturday.
Well I am sure you will be glad to have the dental work finished Barbara.

Friday isn't the end quite yet. They are also going to make mold for lower partial after placing the crowns (unless that is already done, I got a bit lost in what they were doing last time) and  make upper temporary mold. Then on another appointment to remove 5 top teeth and put temporary top plate in while that heals. Then another to place the final upper plate. But the end is getting closer!

117 this morning.

High was 52° yesterday with some light wind and a few showers late night. Today's forecast is for cooler weather, 49°/28° with light showers throughout day. The showers will be snow in higher elevations which is good we need the snow there!

My knees and hands are really feeling the pain from all this building. I keep meaning to make an appointment for the hand surgeries, each hand done separately, but there always seems to be something holding me back. Either the Winter snow shoveling or now the construction. I have to get this done as I can barely hold on to anything and opening jars, etc is really hard/painful.  Soon I hope.

83 this morning.  We had a high of 75° yesterday and now it is going to cool down and it is looking more like we will have rain on Saturday.  Naturally it will be windy later today and tomorrow but I would enjoy having some rain.
I don't have any pain in my hands but it I don't have the grip I used to have so I have aids to open jars that help a lot.  They are rubberized pads that give you a better grip and work pretty well.  I bought them on Amazon. There are all kinds but these are the ones I got.

Thanks for the link Wally. I have some pieces of shelf liner that are made of the same material as the ones you bought and they do help opening jars. I also save those rubber strips they tie your arm off with when they draw blood. Just ask for them! They make great jar openers too.

Jars are just a part of the pain I deal with. As I have mentioned in the past, the trigger fingers and arthritis are a constant pain in the joints. I can barely hold a pen and often fumble with silver ware. My Ortho dr has been pushing the surgeries for a while and I have gotten by with the shots but I think that time is well past that and I need to have the surgeries. It is just timing I have a problem with...

116 this morning. Had hoped for better, given last night's 92...oh well.

Yesterday was 48° with some really dark clouds and sprinkles in afternoon. The edge of the bad weather hitting the mountains. Today's forecast about the same 48°/29° mostly cloudy with possible light snow late evening.

Won't be doing much but sitting in car and at dentist today. Hopefully the sun will come  out enough to snap a couple pix of garage with most of the walls up before I leave.

101 this morning.  We had a high of 70° yesterday and it is supposed to get windy later then rain is predicted starting late tonight and into tomorrow morning.  They are saying 95% chance of rain but we will see.

Yeah you do have a bigger problem than I do Barbara.  I do have an occasional trigger finger and I have two fingers on one hand and one on the other that are contracted and can't be straightened out.  It is called Dupuytren's contracture and may be remedied by surgery but it is not very hopeful in my case.  It does limit me somewhat but I manage pretty well so not something I worry about.  The good thing is that it causes no pain although the trigger finger can be really painful at times.

121 this morning. Slept late, I really needed the rest.

48° was the high yesterday Up in town there was a downpour and some snow, but when we got back here there had been none. Talk about individual climate zones! Looks like a few nice Spring days ahead, then more rain/snow. Today's forecast is 52°/30° partly cloudy. Gradual warming to Tues which is forecast to be 68°, then slowly getting cooler and rain on Wed., that is a long way out and who knows what it will really be? Snow next Thursday, this is MT and that is typical for here, but it also can change on the drop of a hat too!

111 this Easter Sunday morning. Again slept late guess I needed it!

Yesterday's high was 51° a pretty nice day all around. Today's forecast is 52°/27° with clouds. Nights are still below freezing, but a warm up for days is coming, Tuesday is predicted to be 68°!! But rain a few days after...sigh...Spring in MT!

Hopefully will get some painting done today while the weather is warmer.

94 this morning.  We had a high of 56° yesterday and it started to rain early in the morning, around 3:00 AM I think, and it was a light but steady rain.  I was surprised that we ended up with a 1/2 inch by the time it was over.  That may not sound like much but it is pretty good for here.  The rain is out of here and it is going to start warming up for the next few days.

107 this morning.

High yesterday was 50° but a bit breezy which made it feel colder. Today's forecast is 59°/30° and sunny. The next few days even warmer and finally over freezing a bit overnights.

Wally I saw on Weather.com that there was bad flooding in Southern CA on Easter. Hope it didn't come as far as you!

98 this morning.  We had a high of 63° yesterday and it is going to warm up and be in the 70s the next few days.  There is a storm system heading to the West coast and they are expecting some rain but here just wind.

No Barbara, here we did get a light and steady rain but it was good.  On the other side of the mountains they did have some flooding but the biggest problem they had was mud slides and some homes were damaged or destroyed.  They have had a lot of rain on the coast and while it is needed it did cause problems.

125 this morning.

Yesterday's high was 52°. Today is going to be one of the nicest days of the year yet, forecast is 68°/37° and sunny!! Tomorrow back to some light showers for a few days.

The grass is just starting to green up and the kitties are having a great time romping around in it and hunting mice!! No buds on the lilacs yet though. Haven't seen any robins yet, but the flickers are back as are the quails, some black birds and the little tiny chirpy birds (don't know what they are). The cats are mesmerized watching them in the bird house built in the peak of the garage. Oh and the magpies are back too. It is finally really starting to feel like Spring!

105 this morning.  We had a high of 69° yesterday and it is supposed to be even warmer today around 77°. 
Off in a few min. to my annual eye appointment and glad to finally have that done.  My eye doctor was out on maternity leave when my last one was due so I used the one at Walmart and he was OK but I bought glasses there and was pretty pleased at how inexpensive they were but found out that they were not nearly as good as the more expensive ones at the eye doctors so I guess you get what you pay for.

128 this morning.

65° was the high yesterday. A really gorgeous sunny day! Today the weather turns again. Forecast is 58°/38° cloudy and drizzly. Trend downwards to last through Saturday with even possible snow Sat.

Totally agree with the glasses issue Wally. I have in the past gone to places like Lens Crafters, Costco and I think once Walmart. Though the exams seem fine, the quality of glasses doesn't seem as good as those I get from my Ophthalmologist's office. More expensive yes, but I can tell the difference over time.
