Last fall, I gave the neighbor the rickety mobile coop thing the previous owner left for us. The grandpa rebuilt and strengthened it, and they have a small flock. I now get to hear egg songs in the morning. If I can get the garden going, I will check to see if I can give trimmings to her to...

It turned out wonderful today. We worked in the basement. 3 bags of trash, one tote for donation, two totes of bedding getting donated at the county APL, Christmas stuff sorted and condensed, packed carload of cardboard recycling taken, and cleared out some of the clutter. Next for the...

The eldest is with us this weekend. The plan was to work in the garage. Only in the 40s today, still damp and wet. Not sure what we are going to do.

Another half inch of rain overnight. Foggy and wet this morning

I did it old fashioned way. Had shingles in 95. Lol

3 quarters of an inch of rain in 45 minutes. Bands of showers still moving through

Mud, mud, and more mud. Looking hard at raised beds, but I am cheap. Lol

My son, years ago, built a hydroponics system at school for a high school project. It did very well, but their sponsor teacher retired, and it was dismantled after 2 years. Now that he has his own place, he has plans to set something up. I did several gardens and worked full time, with 3 kids...

Also, used Lowe's gift card from the kids to help buy a new Dewalt cordless drill. I had been given new drill bit and screw bit sets already. Time to retire the Craftsman electric drill I have had since 1987 and the miscellaneous loose pile of drill bits collected over decades. No more...

This weather... ugh. Exactly two stalks of asparagus from each crown. Need to buckle down and try to figure out what is wrong. Most of the plants in the butterfly garden appear to be returning.

Had my latest wellness visit. Mostly green across the blood work items, except for iron and B12. Might explain the lack of energy that I was attributing to SAD with all this grey weather. Got a B12 shot, taking an iron supplement, and my PCP said to eat more steak.

Rain, rain, rain, plus a dip into the low 30s. Getting nothing done outside

I went to a new sushi joint yesterday with my son and his wife. It's one of those places that have small plates winding through the seating area on a conveyer system and you pay by the plate or order via a tablet at the table. Cool place. In addition to some sushi, I had a spicy beef udon...

Storms passed around us again overnight. Lots of rain, yard is a squishy sponge
