Just
thought I would checking and say "howdy." So, Howdy!
It has
been a rainyish day and we are waiting for a "severe" storm this
evening. We are supposed to have a hard freeze, 25 degrees, Monday night, the
14th. It is a bit late in the year but there was a year, maybe 4 years ago,
where it got down to the high teens on the 20th of April so just because it is
past the "average" date doesn't mean it is odd.
\It does
mean we have to bring in our seedlings. We don't have much place for them. If
we did we would probably have a better garden because we could start almost
everything inside in early March and have stuff planted out by mid to late
April. Oh well, maybe one day we will manage to find a place inside. I haven't
felt much like gardening so far this year but it one of those things where if I
don't do it now my future self will be kind of mad at me. I hate that.
Another
thing I haven't felt much like doing, but in this case am just about compelled
to by unknown powers, is spring cleaning. It didn't get done last year because
of my surgery. I am not positive much of it got done the year before because I
was so sick. It isn't pretty. Morg has had the chore of vacuuming the living
room for a while now. Typical, she has not done a good job at nooks, crannies
and corners, I have done some of that over time. However, there was about three
inches of dust and animal hair behind the entertainment center.
Speaking
of Morg, she is doing her first paid job last night and tonight. A neighbor who
does floor stripping and other stuff for stores around here needed a couple
replacement hands for a job and he has called on Ron a couple times but still
needed another so Morg went. They left at around 8 pm and got back around 3:30
am. They finish it up tonight but it won't be so late, probably around midnight
or 1 am.
We have 3
kinds of Daffodils and usually they overlap in bloom with one kind fading as
another is coming heavy into bloom and the third doesn't bloom until the first
is all gone; all 3 are in bloom at the same time this year. The guy done the
road, the one that does floors, told Ron last night none of his has bloomed at
all. That is a little odd.
An there
are almost no Morels. This is sad.
The ticks
are starting to come out. This is sad too.
