Good morning!!!!

Waiting on my refund. I never got the last stimulus, so claimed that, which they said would slow the return.

Nothing accomplished this weekend, back to the grind again in the morning.

I like that one. It’s a male, but looks the most like it’s momma.

Just finished mine about an hour ago it took about 4.5 hrs, and I thought I was all organized! Don't know why but doing taxes stresses me out. Just now got the email they were accepted. Time for a stress reduction beverage

Stay well and heal quickly
Prayers for all

Mine are done, but not filed. Like to let them set over night and check in morning before filing just to be sure I didn’t have a brain fart. Again I promise myself to keep this years spreadsheets and receipts more up to date

42F and clear @ 01:00, heading down to low of 39F in the overnight.

Got some compost sifted and sterilized. Woman did not seem to happy about the sterilization aspect. I asked Her what the problem was. She said it just didn't seem right having soil in Her oven.

LOL ... ok ... but it kills everything. (Maybe that's the problem ? ... ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ )

I also took the 100' fiberglass tape and some stakes around back and marked off a potential area to enclose for a garden . Will probably have to adjust it a bit, to allow for maneuvering room for the Kubota ... but something along the lines of a 40' x 40' area could work.

Before I went back up front I grabbed a 20G Long aquarium from down in the basement and brought it up front in the dump cart. Wiped that down with some Windex and stuck on it the bottom shelf of the aquarium stand and later loaded the peat pots I got planted this evening into it.

Then took three 5 gallon buckets of used cat litter over to the east side of the house and filled in a couple of groundhog holes.

Put out some E-Coriganite and Deer Scram on the two areas where we planted the grape hyacinths, also tamped down the one area by the circle that I hadn't tamped before.

After that I finished mowing and grinding up leaves on the rest of the front lawn except for a little strip at the bottom which was still so wet it had standing water sitting in it.

Then raked up the leaves around the front steps where The Woman has Her Stella D'Oro daylilies and some tulips planted and hauled that and some other compostable items up to the pile.

This evening after dinner I got 5 peat pot trays planted. Each tray has eight holes, did two trays of tomatoes (Crimson Cushion Beefsteak and Bush Beefsteak), one tray of eggplant (Black Beauty), and two of bell peppers (Red Mercury and Yellow Belle) Each hole got four seeds.

All in all, fairly decent day.

Think I'll see what I can wrangle up for an after midnight snack and then hit the rack.

This was a hell of a weekend

Saturday my twin boys had birthday. 9 years already.
From friend of mine have borrowed VW Transporter for all my kids fit in one car and made 2 hour trip to water park in Estonia. Boys have learned jumping from stairs in deep pool. My sisters son, which is 14 shown them. I dont do that. My boys already are better than me

Meantime I enjoyed hot bath with view on frozen Baltic sea

On way back visited my sister. She already 30 years work in small village (~ 3000 ppl) city commune social services. Now she is in charge for organizing life of Ukrainian refugees.
Their stories are incredible
There is women which have traveled 1 week and she is scheduled give birth this week. How she have done that trip ? My sister says - really nice looking 29 y/o woman. Unbelievable strength
There is other one wanting to do abort ... Her husband is killed, have already 2 y old toddler on hands... They are trying to make her change her mind, but is seems no go...
There are few woman lived fancy life so they dont know how to peel potatoes
There is 72 y old lady which actually have lived in this village 35 years ago, then moved to UA. Now she is so happy. telling she always wanted to visit place of her youth but never have opportunity. Now war brought her together with her old friends. Pity is she is so weak that she barely can cross her room... Commune have provided car & driver for day. Her friends are organizing other visits
Dozen kids +/- same age already formed their own class. there are few teachers with them. School already from C19 times have all equipment, so UA kids do a lot of very good classes remotely from Kyev.

Life goes on in strange ways


Yesterday I took my companies bus attached trailer, made trip to my "rancho". Brought there for summer storage snow blower and couple of empty firewood crates.
Loaded 4 sets of summer tires and motorcycle
Didn't do anything there as everything is so wet. Barely have made it out. My bus MAN TGE (the same VW crafter) I have ordered FWD drive-train. it is so tended to get stuck everywhere. Having trailer hanging on bumper doesnt make things easier
Have found one older pic for better understanding

Lot of driving. Now chilling at office


Almost forget
Weather

Anyway - this is "short week", Thursday we are making a trip to Italy
Wait for sunny pictures of old rocks, pasta & pizza



Have a nice week you all !

Good morning, low temp 29 and high 50°F. Wind SSE 6 mph. 40% chance of showers.

The tire service is coming either this morning or tomorrow morning to fix my rear tire on the Kioti. The deal is that if he isn't here by noon today, then he will be here tomorrow.

We've got a Provincial election coming up on June 2, now which liar am I going to vote for this time? Time to search for a mail in ballot.

I am eligible for a 4th shot of alligatoritus anti-venom, I guess it is time for the third shot. Another search for that.

I may get outside today and actually 'do' something.

Have a safe day all

good morning all
cold morning but then weather really heating up, I see 81 predicted for Thursday. Hope next three days bring the little veggies out of the ground.
Still sore this morning from planting pachysandra yesterday but will head back over and plant some more this afternoon and then likely finish another day this week.

One of our church members lives part year in Berlin and joins us for services on zoom which is pretty neat. I asked her about immigration and she said over 60K Ukrainian refugees have come into Berlin already and the city and country are doing their best to accommodate. More than 2M children displaced. All because of one man's ego and greed.

It's very cool to have folks on this thread from other countries. Reminds us how much we all have in common.
