63F, overcast, and damp out @ 12:30, calling for a high of 71F for the day. Some lingering showers in the NEO area.
Got meds doled out first then yesterday morning.
Then got all the mowing done down here around the house.
Mixed up some seed and put it out for the ground feeders, tube feeders will need refilled today. They also need relocated, squirrels have figured out how to get to them by climbing up on the old cedar stump and jumping over.
Bluebirds back at Nest Box No. 2, will check it to see if they have laid another batch of eggs. Maybe put out some mealworms for them.
Checked the one remaining tire on the rolling seat that was loosing air, and it's happening pretty quickly ... so will head up to Menards in Kent in a bit to pick up 2 foam-filled tires/wheels and be done with messing around with it.
They supposedly have black mulch in stock, so will try to pick that up as well.
Drilled five 1/4" holes in the little tray on the rolling cart so it will self-drain if it gets left out in the rain.
Took both the pneumatic tires off and moved them up to the shop for the upcoming bearing swap, along with some other junk including the oil drain pan and got that emptied into the 55 gallon waste oil drum.
Located the small pan that will be used to heat up the seal that needs to be heated to install on lift cylinder piston while I was up there.
Woman continued cleaning up around the outside of the shop, sprayed several gallons of glyphosate, and I reloaded the sprayers for Her several times.
Ran over one of the short t-posts with a wire cup brush in the grinder then got it primed. Also got about 1/2 the topcoat applied (one side)
Moved the one arched trellis up so the bottom is about 1' off the ground and reattached it to the t-posts. (Gives the plants more room to grow) Will do the other one when I get the t-posts for it repainted.
Planted 1 Hot Lemon pepper and 1 Habanero yesterday to see how they would fare overnight with the critters. Looks like they came through the night undisturbed ...
Trimmed some seed heads off the rhubarb, it is doing very well:
Probably will relocate that to an unfenced area this fall since the critters leave it alone.
Russian Sage has also gotten to the point where it probably should be divided:
Same deal with that: relocate to an unfenced area since it isn't prone to being eaten.
Woman just went around back to release a bird that had somehow managed to get inside the netting over the strawberries.
She made shortcake from scratch a few days ago to go with the strawberries She harvested, was delicious.
Burning daylight, need to get moving ...
Hope everyone is having a decent Sunday ...
