Hi all.

It’s been not too bad lately, the evil white stuff is all gone, the windstorms have abated, and several croci, daffs and violets have popped their pretty little heads out. A few poppies have also broached the soil surface and are growing slowly.

All the fruit trees are now showing signs of budding, the rhubarb is starting to leaf out, it’s lovely!

I accidentally dropped a rock on the peony when mowing the lawn on Monday, I’m hoping I didn’t hurt it too badly. Grass looks so much better when it’s freshly cut.

The garden room needs one electrical wire replaced, as I somehow managed to short the ground and neutral wires to one measly outlet with a drywall screw. D’oh! At least I don’t have to go through a new, freshly painted wall to replace it.

Getting some seedlings started (toms, lettuce, radishes, peas and beans) this weekend is the plan. After the silliness mitigation, that is. < BG >

Nothing else I can think of, other than I have to make some hamburger soup, for me and the 18 y/o dog. I’ve had a hankering, and he’s been off his feed for the last few weeks.

G_d bless all, and happy growing!

I’m making sloppy joes in crockpot. New recipe never tried it before. Just got hungry for sloppy joe - weird craving. Haven’t had any since I quit teaching almost 40 years ago.

The bathroom light shorted out 2 days ago. I thought it was just a lightbulb that needed changed, but nope put in a new one, and flipped the switch and poof - sparks and threw a breaker.

Hoping hubby can fix it - might need a new light.
