Rabbit is as far down the food chain as I’ll go. Luckily I ‘broke the Beagle’ as Beau says, because he’s been allowed to be our house dog, so he’s less of a hunter and more of a couch potato these days. ;)

Had a great Gardening Day, yesterday! It was so nice out - today is breezy, but still sunny.

Uncovered the strawberries and uncovered, fluffed the straw and then recovered the tulips and daffs that are coming up.

Cleaned out the last 3 beds that I didn’t get to last fall. I always do that because it’s actually such a JOY to be out in the garden doing something productive when we get an unexpectedly wonderful day. :)

Accidentally pulled up some strawberry plants, so I potted those and will share them with neighbors that need some, or use them in hanging baskets and porch pots.

Took the pallets that were covering some of the beds (puppy proofing from last fall when Shasta and Fremont could still get through the fencing) and put them where they belong. They were really heavy pallets, so if you were a little bird, you would’ve enjoyed watching me struggle with that! I ‘rolled’ them from end to end, and that worked well! (Wore gloves; no slivers!)

Potted up more dahlias and started on picking up fallen branches and sticks in the yard, but there’s more of that to do today, and of course the current crop of puppies is more than HAPPY to help hauling sticks around. *Rolleyes*

Another week of wet and ‘yucky’ ahead, but these past two days have energized me. :)

Saw this website and thought of you, with Weber coming back from the spa and all. Or anyone with a lot of beef on their hands.

Here's my hack for the day. Since I have no greenhouse I use caddys to move plants in and out until it is warm enough to plant. I have 4 caddys now but can see I need a few more. They are also easy to just carry to the garden and plant out of. I just cut the sides out of a detergent jug, will work fine. I'll do a better job on the next one. 0-02-01-ebcb0fa5dd862e8913df2aa151c3010b7de94b438e4d80cae29dd84ef094e0d6-d62c5a9d9c6a496d
