Morning, mumpers! It’s currently 10c/50f with a predicted high of 14c/57f and cloudy. Weather app says “You may feel like fucking walking around your yard naked. Your elderly neighbour, however, wishes you fucking wouldn’t.”
Spring is on the horizon, gardening begins in earnest soon…and on the subject of digging things up, today marks the death in 1939 of Howard Carter, the British archaeologist who found King Tutankhamun’s tomb.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 45 Amurrkin out and mostly cloudy with a predicted high of 76 and sunny. A definite Spring like day. Also looks like the annual tree orgy is beginnin’ in earnest. No biggie plans for the day which suits me just fine. Sup will be meatballs ‘n gravy, smashed N.O.T., green beans, squishes and rolls. I feel the need for so e down home comestibles.
BooFae I am not a garden or plant person, so the only thing I dig is rock ‘ roll music.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, onward into the day! Rah.
Today is (dammit, it better be!!) the last frosty, miserable day of winter. We’re starting with 29 Ferrets (-1.7 Centipedes) with a forecast high of 36 Ferrets (2.2 Centipedes) and chance of rain/snow/icky precip later today and overnight. No real accumulation expected, and by Thursday, we’re looking at 73 Ferrets (22.8 Centipedes), unless things change.
My plan for today is a trip to the Mart of Wal, then Aldi. I’ll need to do some digging soon. Otis had been using the plantings outside the shop as his bed - my liriope are crushed. So I’m going to dig them up and move them to a bed outside the back yard. We’ll also have to do a lot of un-digging to fill all the holes in the yard. Then we need to figure out how to stop Otis from digging all the craters. Idiot dog. Not sure when any of that will happen, tho.
I will try to hack back some of the wisteria before it leafs out. The nekkid branches and tendrils are easier to deal with. Maybe when it’s warmer later this week. I think my little chainsaw will be a great help.
From the last MMP:
OMG, yeah. And they all say “Download free schedule” but you have to sign up for the program before you get the “free” chart. Nope. They’re not getting my email or money.
Are you using videos or working from memory? There are so many choices on YouTube and I’m not sure how to proceed, since I don’t have a “free schedule” - I haven’t found sequential lessons yet. But I need to do something about my balance before I take a bad fall.
And so my day/week/month begins. What adventures lie ahead??
This week is shaping up to be utterly prosaic. Going to work, going home, going to bed, rinse and repeat. Next week is spring break. So I have that to look forward to.
Big thing in my life now is trying to figure out a new car, and what to replace my Fit with.
