Good morning!!!!

Haven't been to the garden in over a week, so it was nice to see 51 of my 52 potatoes are up and thriving. I hooked up the irrigation system and got another item crossed off my list. I'll give the kale a few more weeks before I plant the last row of potatoes. This is the kale after I picked a big bag. I hope I don't have to use the bale of hay to protect from frost because it just encourages pill bugs to come live in my garden.

Morning - it's raining...inches today and tomorrow.
In November we welcomed it.
In December we relished it.
In January we championed it.
In February we tolerated it.
In March we're sick of it!
Weeds are knee high and blooming. There is mud everywhere.
It's too wet to mow.
I miss the drought.
:oops:
So the other coastline has mud season now. ;)

Flail mowing has come to an end for the day.

This is my belt tensioner

Had noticed a crack yesterday, but still seemed solid this morning, belts still tight. But now, about 21/2 hours later… of course that also includes finding it.

So off to the PO. I have a temp fix in mind, but Sophie has generously offered use of her BX. I think that could work as long as i’m cautious in the really overgrown areas.

On a lighter note, Sophie has had me laughing since coffee this morning when she realized this is her last day being 69. Told her I’d welcome her to the septuagenarian club tomorrow.

Morning all, 22 going up to 61 and sunny.
Got the plow off tractor and some other outside stuff done.

KC -When do we get puppy update pictures?

Drew - glad all the RV bits are working even if the campsite is not.

Sprayed around the last of the surviving spring flowers, frost this morning does not seem to have bothered them.

Back to day job,

Be well,
We are picking up puppy Friday afternoon.

Buckle up for cuteness overload 😁

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.5C and it's presently 15.2C, calm, overcast with light rain (as predicted).

The fence repair at the Rectory went well (2hrs) but 'it aint pretty'. I mostly replaced 9 palings and shored up any palings that were loose.

Discussions at our monthly Church Council meetings had included this fence repair for months, but had always been deferred... as it had been last Monday. So I was curious as to why I'd been asked to do it 'right away'. Well, it turns out that there's a paddock on the other side (yes, in town) that the owner has moved a couple of cattle onto. There's an electric fence that's been set-up a few metres away, but the gap in the Rectory fence + young, curious, children would be too much of a temptation. ;)

Anyway, it's 'into town day' for groceries/scripts/mail.

That's about it, take care all.
