Good Morning, All!
Time to get the thread going for the week - no muddy dogs to chase this morning; just a psycho squirrel on the porch and the dog took care of that for me
Two days ago, I looked at the weather forecast - 7 days of no rain and no frost; so of course I made plans to work in the gardens, and plant out my strawberries today. This morning I looked at the forecast and it's rain, sun, rain/snow mix and down to 28, frost possible, sun, rain, sun. The Lord is telling me to be patient with my planting, I think!
I wasn't able to get the load of composted manure I wanted last week; went to the sale barn but no one was around and the place was locked up tight. If the weather does what it says it is going to, I probably won't be able to get any this week either as it's pretty muddy where the compost is stored. On the plus side, I got the van backed up to the trailer in the right spot on the first try - first time that's ever happened! - so I did have one victory for the week
Work has been super busy; our unit has ran full through the past year and a half. Surgeries are finally picking up again - it's been pretty much emergency surgery only for the past year plus, and anyone that can go home right after surgery has ; maybe there is hope for my knee yet! I have a vacation coming up - last day I have to work is this coming Thursday. I'm trying to not feel guilty for leaving the rest of the crew short - we've all pulled so much overtime this past year; the younger staff have been great to step up to the plate, bless their hearts! By the time I get to work after the OT calendar is posted, it's usually already filled in. (I remember those years of 60+ hour weeks; and I don't miss 'em!)
Well, I guess it's time to go refill my coffee cup, and get the first load of laundry in so that I can get it all out on the line and dried before the rain starts in late this afternoon.
You folks all take care out there; stay safe!
