Goldfinches on thistle feeder
On Wednesday morning I was up around 6AM and it was pretty cold outside. I got the fires going and then got my post up. I had some research to do on the computer so I did that while the 2 brain cells were still in residence.
Then I went out and folded the laundry and started to put it away when the wood guys arrived.
This last load finished filling the masonry heater shed and added an extra row to the wood stove shed. Finally the filling the woodshed project was done.
I’d decided it was going to be just too cold to be sitting in shade in the wind, so I got started on the seedlings. When I started the storage onions on March 1st, once they had come up enough, I put fans on them.
I had to water them every 2 days as the fans dried them out and when I did, I turned them and swapped the trays.
I didn’t have any more fans when I started the Wallas 2 weeks later. I ordered some but they came in as USB and I didn’t have a converter. So the Wallas have had no fans.
It was mid morning when I was suddenly out of gas. One just never knows when it will hit. So I spent the rest of the day struggling to finish the seedlings, but they never got watered.
Almost all of them are up now, just 2 or 3 stragglers. Around 4PM I gave up and went to lie on the couch listening to David Attenborough’s ‘Life of Mammals’.
When my brother got home, he wanted me to follow him in the car so he could drop his off. But I just couldn’t be driving, so he asked my #1 intern when she got home.
She said my #2 intern was coming over and we were to finally watch ‘Wuthering Heights’. They went out for a walk and were late getting back. We didn’t start the movie until 7:45PM. I’d laid the fires beforehand.
The movie finished at 9:30PM and I got the fires going and was in bed by 10:15PM, pretty late for me. I couldn’t get to sleep until after 11PM. So I have no idea how Thursday will play out.
I’d hoped to get started on those west side gardens but it’s not to warm up until noon. I still have seedlings to feed. And my #4 helper will be here at 1:30PM and outside of a couple errands, I don’t know what I will have her doing.
