November 18, 2023 | Diana in WI/Greeneyes in Memoriam

[Pollard]

Got me a rocketbombplane (wind speed/direction sensor)

These were originally designed for buoys out on the ocean so they're pretty stout.

Happy Birthday to me

I got my first two seed catalogs yesterday: Vermont Bean Seed Company and Totally Tomatoes. (Both owned by Jung’s!)

Happy Birthday to ME! ;)

Oh, and Happy Birthday to YOU! (It’s Beau’s Birthday today.)

God Speed The Plow
(The Farmers Arms or Success to the Farmer)

Let the wealthy and great live in splendor and state.
I envy them not, I declare it,

For I grow my own rams, my own ewes, my own lambs,
And I shear my own fleece and I wear it.

By plowing and sowing and reaping and mowing
All nature provides me with plenty -

With a cellar well stored and a plentiful board,
And my garden affords every dainty.

For here I am king. I can dance, drink and sing.
Let no one approach as a stranger.

I will hunt when it’s quiet. Come on, let us try it!
Dull thinking drives anyone crazy.

I have lawns and bowers. I have fruits and flowers,
And the lark is my morning alarm.

So you jolly boys now, here’s godspeed the plow.
Long life and success to the farmer!

Thanks,
Sunday is mine but my rocketbombplane b-day present probably won’t get here until mid to late next week. Then I’ll be able to spin the prop or rotate the vane and hopefully get readings with a multi-meter.

Guess I should go dig at a couple of holes. Got this afternoon, tomorrow, Tues, Wed and Thurs as good working weather.

Happy Birthday Beau!

Yeah, it was chilly out there. All I did was cover up the lettuce bed.

Gonna pull out the turkey tomorrow. This looks interesting. Spatchcock turkey.
