To: Diana in Wisconsin

Yesterday my wife and I (yes.....20 yrs this year!) Went to my good sister’s place afore brother in laws 50th bday.

During the ferry ride, we were sitting in the car, and I mentioned that I wanted to create some unique and cool features in our garden and new home we will be having built in Texas.

I want to layout portions of the walkways in the garden and incorporate some window features in the home that recognize the vernal and autumnal equinoxes.

She kind of stared at me like I was crazy which I am totally used to.

I explained that I wanted to have the sunrise on the equinoxes to eqch fall down a path on the garden and land in a statue or some other feature/fixture.

She continued to look at me as if I were an insano....so I said “I know you are thinking this is me trying to re-do thr scene in Raider’s of the Lost Ark with the stick and the pendant....it isn’t going to be that. But now that we are talking about it....maybe a window feature on the house tha throws the light on a patterned tile on the floor on the vernal equinox too!”

She then said “this is your photographer/creative side of your brain. I never think about anything like that....”

Today I mentally hugged Diana in Wisconsin when I went to my greenhouse and found more tomato and pepper seed starts popping in the Jiffy medium.

I also took some 1/2, 1, and 2 gallon planting buckets and filled em up with garden soil and some 3 4 4 fertilzer....then put them inside a raised bed that I have a hoop cover on
Did about 40 and that is 1/3 of the raised bed....tomorrow I am going to knock out the rest if the raised bed.

These are in preparation for transplanting the seed starts.

DID I MENTION TODAY IS MY “Last expected frost date” ??????
