Good Morning, All! Whatcha got going on in prep planning this week?
Grandsons and granddog are still snoozing, though the dog did move from the foot of my bed to the couch to continue snoozing when I moved in to the kitchen area. It's going to be a warm but rainy day outside - sure glad we got outside to get some sunshine yesterday! I just don't trust March as far as weather goes - too darn many March blizzards in my past to do that!! That will be a worry for me in the future if we don't have weather forecasting - guess I'll have to go back to relying on my barometer to watch for weather changes, or hopefully still have contact with my sister who lives next state over; whatever weather she's having, I can expect in the next day or so.
Hubby's work schedule has gone wonky since the shop he works at was bought out - he's been off work at 2 on Saturday, and off Sunday and Monday for so many years that I'm still trying to wrap my head around him getting home later some Saturdays and working some Mondays. Now I guess I know how he's felt the past 20+ years since my schedule has never been routine! Somehow, this month, I am working no weekends; and actually have a 4 day weekend off - I'm betting daughter already has plans for it though
Last week we had 30 ton of rock delivered for the driveways - he was able to tailgate most of it; but given the rain and the weather forecast, it looks like it will be next week or later before Hubby can get the rest of it in place since this rain moved in shortly before he got home yesterday; it's too darn muddy to get the tractor out to fill in the areas under power lines or where the truck couldn't easily get in, and I've shoveled all I plan to shovel of it!
I can't find yellow wax pole bean seed for sale anywhere - the two places I usually get it were sold out back in January, and the other seed dealers I've checked don't seem to have it either. I have a little seed left over from last year, but I'm going to have to be picky where I plant them to hopefully not have cross pollination with my other beans. Not a fan of bending over to pick beans; no, I'm not!!
As soon as it dries up enough, I'm going to have to take up my raised strawberry beds so that I can dig out some sort of grass that likely came in from the composted manure I haul from the sale barn. If I have to, I'll move those frames to the back garden and just plan to screen them from the birds - that area is too close to the clothesline for me to have berries planted without something to keep the birds out.
Well, I hear little boys stirring, so I reckon I'd better get ready to fix some breakfast for them...
You folks all take care out there - stay safe!
