That makes me hungry. I took DD shopping for jeans today. She also wanted a new purse. It was a great reminder of why I hate to shop.
 
Woke up in pain. Probably from loading this one BIG piece of wood in the boiler tonight. Was about 1" too long for the splitter and ended up near where I load the wood. Since it was down to good hot coals I snatched it up and shoved it in. Way more than I should be lifting.:hammer:

poor cat is so old, he snoozes as often as me.

btw, i've found 3 containers of kitty litter, this new oxy-dishsoap, a 12-pk. of t.p., paper towels, garbage can liners, benedryl, & a shoppin' bag of clean socks/tees. my Mom leaves stuff scattered about my place so randomly, as tho i would not notice sudden strategic placement of items in my humble abode.
luv my Mum. that benedryl is directly in front of me & in my line of vision. literally.

muley! u would know better than me. ur a half-mule. i'm a woman. & my cat has obviously drank too much. gatorade.
 
I was at the garden today. Weeded and planted some more blackberries along with some tomatoes.
 
Let's see. Was at church for the early good friday service. Was part of a play in that service. Then headed over to my fiancee's old house to get it ready for the real estate lady to come take some pictures so we can list it. Worked my butt off all day basically.
 
being in the presence of people beyond many leaps & bounds ahead of me. i'm humbled & beyond honored that they chose pittsburgh.
 
Printed out the forms & envelopes, signed them and wrote the checks to the feds and the state. Off to the Post Office in the morning to send in my taxes. Business was down 22.6% for all of 2012 (my worst year in the last 10 years), so the tax bite was not as bad as last year.
 
Took the dogs for a walk.

Weeded the veggie garden. I'll dig in the compost and manure tomorrow afternoon and then I'll be ready to plant.

As long as the Alleve keeps working I'll get 'r done.
 
Going to plant some things in the garden today on way or another. Expecting more rain tonight and it is past time for peas and onions.
 
I was planning on doing some planting, but we've got frost warnings (!!) for mid-week so I'm going to wait a few more
days. Now I haven't got a good excuse not to work on stuff inside the house.

 
I ended up going around and putting marker ribbon on the fence wire and found one insulator the deer knocked off the post. Will put out a few onions later and some peas. It is warming up quick but the wind is also blowing like mad as the day goes on.
 
Pressure washed the back patio (10x40' concrete), the concrete around the shop, an old picnic table (which now needs sanded) and a few other things. Nice wind here as well so it was perfect for over-seeding areas that need it using the throw the seed with the wind method. Just came in to get dry socks and shoes before heading back out to... I don't know yet.
 
my doctor called me early this morning. then i got a visitor earlier. then i went fer a stroll. in a 2-block stretch, i passed by 1 insane guy, & got lectured by an elderly lady. the elderly woman says, '& where is ur coat, miss~'. i was kinda baffled, & said, 'well, i've got a hoodie & a tee on, ma'am.' (i was warm!) she gave me that look (the look generally reserved fer severe infractions, & generally used by ur Parents when ur a kiddo.) then she went on her way once she shook her head @ me. then i passed by the insane guy. he was talkin' to himself over money very loudly. i saw nary a phone, nor a bluetooth....... jus' him. apparantly, his pal was invisible to me & others.
soon i'll be cooking food. sheesh!
 
The last few days have been beautiful so I started the fence that will surround my garden and my beehives. Hives are supposed to be here this weekend!

Lots of electrified high tensile if you want to keep the bear out.:hammer:
Click to expand...
Roger that! I have 250' of 14 gage 2"X4" welded wire fencing that goes on the poles. Haven't picked up the electric fence stuff yet cuz I was hoping to find the charger (used) in the local paper but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Last week there were two solar powered electric fence chargers but by the time I called they were gone.

But the bee's will be here on Sunday so I've got to have it done by then.
 
The bear will tear that fence in a heartbeat and the coon will climb it. Use the long standoff insulators on the outside of the wire starting 6 inches off the ground and then every foot with one on top. Get the good spring handle from Agway($5) for over the gate opening and another halfway up as the bear will climb it. Put welded wire on the inside of the gate to keep bunnies and coons from helping themselves. Possums climb too. The all love your garden as much as you do. Walking the dogs around the perimeter regularly helps also. Let them pee outside of it as well.
