Chuck's picture corner to March 29, 2026

The week has warmed up here in Cardinal and the snow has mostly melted away. But for the first time since I've lived here the basement has flooded inches a day. I'm still having to pump water off of the lowest floor twice a day to keep the furnace dry and working . It's on a higher section of floor by about 8".

Outside a south facing window this morning.

The ginkgo is coming along.

the summer garden begins (plum tomatoes)

This year's collection of tomatoes, plum, celebrity, bonny best 

Peppers are popping, these are the first seeded, they are hot pepper varieties.

the peppers get topped with plastic for extra humidity till they sprout.

last nights sunset. The landscape turned white overnight with about an inch of snow.

earlier in the week out the office window, facing west.

out great grand ma's bedroom window facing east before 7 am

morning at Rachelle's

A little more work done on Rachelle's fireplace. Now ready for grouting. The grout will be black. Then it's on to brick tiles up to at least the mantel.

Cheers

enjoy the day.
