It was a rough week here in Central Missouri. I cleaned up the barn last Saturday so I could get Nanner inside for repairs, and wound up with a raging case of bronchitis. Normally I wear a dust filter mask when I clean the floor out there, but I was out of them. Big mistake. Antibiotic, prednisone, albuterol inhaler, and a week off work was the result. I’m still hacking and gagging, but it’s looking like I’m going to live.

A mini mudslide buried the trash pump in the pond sometime over the past couple weeks. #1 Daughter’s BF helped me get that thing dug out of the muck yesterday, and I pumped about five feet of water out of the basin. I’m bound and determined to get that project finished this summer.

No sign of germination from the kale and spinach that I seeded the other weekend.

I chopped the asparagus canes and raked the bed yesterday. I need to hit it with the weed whacker and lay down a few inches of compost on top.

Fruit trees are starting to bud. Plums will open up this week I think.

Spring is about to sprung...

Glad you are feeling better. Take care of yourself, and don’t overdo it. Bronchitis is nothing to mess with.
