Easter Sunday.... Wow... October to March ... it's been a thrilling roller coaster ride for sure.
I spent the morning rototilling ONE MORE TIME. After getting the fencing up we decided to put a cement threshold where the gate will go. Stomping on half the garden putting up the fence it was a good idea to loosen it up one more time. Gave me a good chance to check consistency too. After two hours I had it done AND the rows marked in with string but alas.... no one working on a Sunday but me and as it started to rain I realized I would never get those rows in without making a mess. I retreated to the workshop to put mesh over the gate, which must be hung to keep the pigs out before I get these transplants in the ground. With rain not letting up I decided to have my own lazy day, hit the store and made a nice big pot of vegetable beef soup. After relaxing and watching a movie I shared the soup with some friends and all seems good with the world. Just wait till I can make that soup with veggies from my own garden!
It has been raining pretty well for two days now and the fruit trees are just loving it. It's been a good excuse for me not to work too much, especially with Alex away for 4 days at a family gathering.
Maybe if the sun is out tomorrow I will get that gate done... and maybe not. I think I am turning HAWAIIAN, which is a good thing.. because there is always another day. It's not that I am not working, I just have so many projects going now with sprouting more seeds (flowers, letuce, onion, gourds, peppers, peas....), finishing the playhouse walls, curtains and flooring, the garden.... it's never ending. I love it but it's never ending.
Off to bed for me. I hope to hear from more of you soon. come visit anytime especially if you have been by before as you can really see the progress.

May you live in interesting times.

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
