On Wednesday I spent most of the day filing my blog posts. When I make them, they are filed under daily posts and the date. Later I go through and add them to category headings, under dates, leaving the original post (if I don’t mess up and move it instead of copy) in the daily posts file. This way if I have a rough idea of when I wrote it and it was about chickens, I can find it. Usually… Sometimes the search thing works, and sometimes I have to be creative to find a post or photo.
Wednesday was a slow day, spent in my PJ’s, recovering from the previous day.
One thing I forgot to mention on Tuesday was the excavator came out to look at the site of the woodshed addition and give me a quote. He’s fighting metastasized melanoma right now and was currently doing well. He’s still working when he can and plans to do this job as soon as I get the garden moved.
My son has been working on cleaning out the brambles and brush so the wood guys can get in and cut up all the wood and get it in the shed. I hope to clean this whole area out and keep it mowed so this doesn’t happen again.
Tom was here in the morning and moved a couple scoops of the compost for me. Hopefully I will be able to move it into the gardens that need it this year.
The mirror for the driver’s side of the truck finally arrived in the afternoon and he came back and got the truck and mirror so he can put it on at his house. The truck needs a few things done to it and it can get inspected. The drive train also needs to be inspected, as that was supposed to happen in February.
My son also got the dirt that was under the dumpster raked out and filled in the chuck hole. The woodchuck is very unhappy about losing his home. But it was entirely too close to the garden that he raided last year.
I got grass seed down and raked in and the posts put up to protect it. The rain was to start Wednesday night. But it might still be too cold for it to germinate until next week or later.
In the Big garden the garlic is well up through the mulch.
In the New South garden the chiondoxa lucillae has lots of buds.
And the pansies are waiting to be planted….
On Thursday, I hope to putter around at several small jobs and try to start my exercise program as I can’t go outside. I also hope to finish the filing of posts job. It’s to be cold and raining all day, so I’ll have the stoves going. We’re still in March and it sure is March again.
