Good Morning,
Ct, 48 to start going to 72 with sunny skies ! The grass is really taking off on the lawn, should probably do some weeding later today. Time to get the weed wacker out !

Also trying to clean up the inground pool, we had unfortunately had some muddy water that got into the pool causing a huge mess for me ! If I cannot get it cleaned using the robot vacuum, I need to drain it and put in new water ! Will be expensive!

Also running out of time , because we leave for another vacation on April 23rd !

Drew, best of luck today !

Hope all have a good day !
unfortunately my day is consumed by having my molar pulled out this afternoon.

Morning all, 59 going up to 80! partly cloudy.
Dog walk at peddlars village.
Tractor prepped and ordered filters for oil change.
Probably need to do anti-freeze too soon.

Took the weed whacker for a spin.

First tick of the season :-(

Surprise thunderstorm and 1/2" of rain last night.

Sriracha/Honey marinated flank steak with garlic mashed Yucca on the back deck last night.

Scotty - I bought a second pump and hoses and a vacuum head for mud overflows in the pool. Floculant will drop the mud to the bottom (avail at pool supplies ) and then vacuum.
We had some bad floods here and lots of dirt a few times. Cost less to buy the pump (need self priming pump) then to have a company come in and do it.

Back to work now, be well.
Buppies get any sleep?

Drew - good luck at dentist.

RS, I am very pleased with my raised beds. What is extra helpful is having them sized for hoop frames from side to side, so you can cover the
whole thing if desired. My next door neighbor's farm, whose wife is in the local gardening club, has beautiful raised gardens with those hoops, saw that yesterday morning. I'll go back and take pics for you (and the boss) and post them.
Don is also very knowledgeable about raised beds I bet. His has irrigation, life is good.

of course today just google raised bed gardens and you'll get all the pictures you need.
You can build these from scratch pretty easily, or buy kits, or just the corner connectors.
I'm guessing the Chinesium cedar boards used in mine will last five years. Just remember not to have pressure treated boards
near veggies. Or put a plastic barrier in. I did that on raised beds in NC. Just don't want veggie roots going into
the treated wood. Particularly strawberries because they have strong roots.

as we get older, bending over constantly becomes less fun.
I use a kneeler to garden and plant with, and that has worked well.

Drew, I firmly believe that dentists are sadists. At least the one I went to as a kid was. The freezing hurt more going in and coming out than was bearable to me. I told him to drill without the freezing, he said he couldn't so I walked out on him. Three times. He eventually did drill without the freezing and it didn't hurt that much.

First tick of the season :-(

36F going to a partly cloudy 60F today.

Ken, in CA our property has two tick seasons. Early season is a smallish variety and late season a bigger variety. Like you, I just recently discovered my first tick for this particular season.

Everyone have a great day !!!!!

That sounds cool, but wondering how protective the parents will be? ... She and her boyfriend saw a low flying bald eagle go over our place.

The biggest threat to the upcoming goslings are red tail hawks. We have plenty. With past hatches the gosling count starts at 8-10, then the count slowly dwindles down. Usually about two survive to maturity.
