Mrs. Augie is pretty much done with the Christmas decorations cleanup here. I think she has everything down and packed. There are a few boxes that still need to be stored away until it's time to do it again.
It's been an ugly winter in my part of Misery. We've only had one snowfall that lasted even a few days. Personally, I don't like anything about winter, and I have a hard time deciding if it's worse to be buried in that nasty white stuff for weeks at a time or to see everything brown and dead and slathered with mud. lol
I feel painfully accomplished today, though. I trudged my decrepit bones out to the garden patch yesterday and got the asparagus bed ready for spring. In spite of my best efforts to pamper them, several of the crowns I planted last spring didn't survive the Living Hell of a Misery Summer that followed. I've placed an order for 20 more crowns from Jung's. That will be enough to fill in the skips and add 20-ish feet to the row.
You’re making me nostalgic for my 40’ row of mature asparagus at my old farm! I have one 8x4 plot now and am adding another 8x4 next spring - I’ll be ordering from Jung’s too - Surprise, LOL!
Thanks for supporting me in my retirement! :)
I really SHOULD be out there doing some stuff; we hit 45 degrees today and there is no snow anywhere on the grounds. You’re right about it looking so drab, gray, muddy - but our grass is still green! Beau has been ‘grazing’ both the mule and the steer as much as possible. They’re loving it!
We’ve been having major electrical problems at our house - turns out one of our ‘legs’ of electricity was on the fritz. Of course it wasn’t the Energy Company’s fault - but they DID come back again today with an electrician we hired to resolve the issue. It appears to be resolved.
And, yes, Beau IS an Electrician - but not on the high wire stuff! It was fun watching the guys use their lifts - like a Bucket Ballet, LOL!
Really REALLY tired of re-setting every clock and appliance in the place, though!
