2:00 & already under a severe thunderstorm watch with warnings to the north & south. Sun is still out which helps ‘soup up’ whatever is coming through. The wind is blowing so hard I had to close the southwest shop door because stuff was blowing off my workbench. Two lines of storms coming through - can’t wait until they’re gone!

Yesterday morning I unloaded the truck (tools, etc.) from our trip & took the time to put them away. The trailer was next & that was the rest of the morning. The afternoon was spent taking the plywood I brought from the old house & making panels to close off the parts of the trailer sides that are metal grates - mulch leaks through. I had cardboard zip tied to the sides, but the plywood fits exactly & is sturdier.

Today, I am placing landscape timbers between the barn floor (gravel) & the lean-to floor (dirt/mulch). Once that is done (depends on storm) I can start putting up boards between the two areas, then move all the stuff currently taking up parking space in the barn (shingles, pavers, bags of gravel & sand, etc) to the lean-to. I have determined UNFORTUNATELY that I need a load of gravel. I can get a half load (bobcat scoop) in the trailer no problem but then I have to shovel it. Yuck.

Harvested a dozen jalapeños & my $2.00 clearance Lantana & Calibrachoa are blooming great guns .... they look so good my mom comes out to visit them at least once a day! :-)
