Great link! That will help you get the ball rolling, I’ll bet!

I got the majority of my tomatoes potted into Cottage Cheese containers and out to the greenhouse, but I have eight that I’m going to ‘babysit’ inside until they have two sets of adult leaves - these were varieties that didn’t germinate for whatever reason, so I restarted them. They’ll catch up.

Dog chores, Mule, Chickens, Steer - the usual. Beau is off mowing for cash and wants to get it all done this week so he can go up to the cabin Fri-Sat and then back home for Easter Sunday. He has to tear off a deck (small) on the cabin and temporarily nail the door shut, send a pix to American Family Insurance to PROVE he’s done that, and then they’ll insure the cabin again. *Rolleyes*

I really dislike AmFam. Yeah, my Dad was Chief Engineer of all of their buildings in Madison when I was a kid, but they dropped my insurance as a free standing farm’ on my other farm and it took way too long to get other insurance! I want to go with the local people here and get EVERYTHING under one policy. Farm, vehicles, land, life insurance, etc. It’s such a mish-mash right now!

*Steps Off Soapbox* Not sure where that RANT came from! I’d better go get some more dirt under my nails; that’ll calm me down, LOL!

After 2 full days of work, the shop is progressing steadily (yay)! Bought pegboard yesterday. After watching videos last night, I will be making a trip shortly for ‘furring strips’ so I can mount it on the wall. I put up 2 shelves yesterday to hold some small drawers I use for organizing deck/construction type screws & I am very pleased with that arrangement.

I got a lot of neat ideas for customizing hangers instead of using regular pegboard hooks. Once I get the pegboard up, I will be making hangers for hammers & wrenches in particular. I have all the screw drivers in drawers, but I will work out something so I can hang favorites for quick grabbing. This is the part I find “exciting” - seeing what I can come up with to make my handywoman job easier. :-)

The little country market down the road is getting in flowers & herbs ... may have to go take a look! 💐
