Beautiful weather we’re having today here in Central Missouri. The frost earlier in the week wiped out a couple of my basil plants that I’d stuck in the ground. Should have covered them up I guess.

Pulled the deck out from under the lawn tractor yesterday. Sharpened the blades and replaced the belt and idler spring so it’s ready to cut grass now.

Welding shop was able to repair the busted exhaust elbow from the loader tractor for the paltry sum of $80. Saved me a little over $1400 compared to buying a new piece!

Planted a row of snap peas a couple nights ago.

I’m gaining...

Progress for sure. Today’s weather is my absolute favorite for working in the garden, so I am looking forward to the weekend and next week.

Have to get some house work done and food prep for a Sunday feast and Easter Egg hunt, but I have plans to get out there and make some forward progress on the raised garden beds, and patio clean up.

That’s a big savings on the repair job!

Have a good one.
