Daydreaming while waiting impatiently!

Goodness, that poor hen must be traumatised after that lot.

I brought up another tall plastic shelf unit form my basement and filled 10 more 1020/standard flats to plant. Seeding them tonight.

Geeze louise! Won't that get you up to about a zillion seeds planted?

Nearly! I'd keep on planting if I had more space and more light. I have 20 trays. I went to bed at a reasonable time last night so I'm finishing planting more today. 3 (of the 20) left now.

I've been sidetracked by DS11's behavior problems. (Not an additional child, he had a birthday. ) He still hasn't done yesterday's chores or yesterday's homework. 20 hours and his chore (dishes!) isn't done. AND WE HAVE A DISHWASHER! It's just not that hard! I kept him home from school. His grades have dropped in school and he has more late work since his intervention. He has 8 days left to catch up or he might get kicked out of one of his classes. I hope he does get kicked out of the class. It's not a good placement for him!

I'm angry because we have beautiful weather and I'm stuck indoors. And we'll have ugly weather tomorrow - we're under a winter storm warning tomorrow and Saturday. Now they're saying 5-8" of snow, sheet ice and gusting wind. I haven't even done barn chores yet this morning! I piled up extra hay for the sheep last night so they should manage, but they're so dang thin right now. We're working on getting a custom feed mix for them, but we're waiting for a hay analysis result, expected Monday. Anyway, I'm under DS11 house arrest. I went to the bathroom and that was long enough for him to take a pickled egg from the fridge, eat a bite, and stash the rest someplace. We'll find it by the smell in a few days?

Ughhh on the snow! Hope you don't get that much!

7.5" overnight and gentle snow continuing. Forecast is 1 - 3" more before it's over.

 

[sumi]

I hope it will be over-over soon. It's "spring", you should be getting warmer now, not snow?

 

[tortoise]

The snow finally stopped this morning. We were at 8.75" yesterday afternoon. No school today.

We should have high's in the low 50's within a week.

 

[sumi]

Then it's MUD! We're in for highs of up to 80F by the weekend I heard That is going to feel hot after the snow and cold we had.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

80's!! That's awesome! Get out the sunscreen!

80's!! That's awesome! Get out the sunscreen!

We're going to have to! The warmest we had lately, and that was only recently, was low 50's.
