Even out here, we are not to plant outside yet. They say to wait until after Mother's day and when the soil warms up a bit. Otherwise the veggies get stunted by the cold.

I'm going for next weekend to get some things planted. Unlike all your rain, we've had to start up all the irrigation. :(

Well... I suspose I made that dirt right. This is the dirt photo I showed the cashier.

This is what she charged me and I didn't even say a word. $2.00, exactly what I owed.

She called out on the radio customer coming out for 1 bag of dirt. I said no I won't be picking that up. And I explained to her what happened yesterday. She laughed and said if only everyone we're so honest. The she grabbed the radio and said cancel that 1 bag of dirt.

BUT WAIT, There's More!

I walked out without paying for a 5 quart jug of full synthetic motor oil, it was in the basket of the long cart. I forgot about it and noticed it when I was loading up farm truck with weekly feed bags. :rolleyes:. I'm like seriously? I asked Mr. Almighty, is this a double test? So I walked my butt back in the store carrying a jug of oil, stood in line again and paid for it.

Thankfully, I'm going to stay away from the farmstore for another week. When I have to go back for my weekly feed.

Oh brother. I am a doofus with too much on my mind. 5 hours into my adventures outside today, work on the new butterfly garden, stuff trimmed up, garden work, and mowing. Mind you, the grass is about 2 feet tall. Because I was out of my usual mowing pattern and the tall grass, I lost track of one of the last lawn obstacles from the previous owner (septic cover with two big rocks). I was getting tired and didn't trim around it first, should have gone full stop before I hopped on the tractor. But no, now I have an inoperable mower deck beyond my ability to repair.
