I'm POOPED, I tell ya. Tired, tuckered out, etc. etc.
Trying to get a bunch of stuff done before DD gets here to visit tomorrow. Dh dumped bobcat bucketloads of old manure into the raised beds, I got it all spread out, ran the tire from the bobcat to town to be patched (it blew on us yesterday) and I removed the couch cover / washed it / replaced it (that is like wrestling a 300# sumo guy), burned all the trash, watered all the plants, put out my landscape lights, cleaned her room out so they'll have somewhere to sleep, went and picked up the tire, and now I'm fixin' to do the feedin' so that when he gets home, we can get some 'creek dirt' (good, sandy stuff) to put on top of the 'poop dirt'.
We haven't had any rain in over 2 weeks, it's supposed to rain this weekend and I will be THRILLED. It's been chilly the past few days (frosts at night) and watering is a cold endeavor.
My daughter decided to stay / visit another day. We're having a good time, only she keeps me up wayyy tooo late, lol.
Haven't gotten anything but basic 'have to' stuff done, so not much farm-stuff to report.
We have to go grocery shopping today, tomorrow I have a 4-H council meeting, Tues. I work and Wednesday......*drumroll* is my annual trip to the Amish Greenhouses.
I'll be specifically looking for unusual / interesting perennials to add to the 'big' flower bed. I can't wait!
The Amish greenhouses sound like our prison greenhouses. Yeah I know that sounds really bad in a sentence. But really the inmates at the local min. security prison were given the chance to start, grow and present to the public all kinds of perennials, annuals and veggie plants. They put so much care into them and really enjoy getting a chance to do the work. The tomato plants they put out are amazing and they have the most beautimus flowers I have ever bought. They don't even get to keep any of the money.
