Slow goings...

this spring.

The constant rainy days then hella windy days is slowing me down.

The garden is slow because of this.

The peas in the first row with garden nozzle were planted April 1st.

No joke, no germination until last 2 days.

The ground is saturated then bone dry after the above mentioned pattern of weather.

The second row has onions that have come out to play about 4 days ago.

The mulched row has brassicas and lettuces, etc.

They have definitely benefitted from the heavy wet straw mulch I laid down just before the 

heavy thunderstorm, high winds (think 70+ mph) and tornado ridden weather Monday.

Hopefully we will "normal" out of this weather pattern shortly.

I am not betting on it though.

This one still has college classes online each day and resulting assignments.

It gives "homework" a literal meaning this semester.

LN is holding her favorite fluffball barncat.

Alice is a yr and half old and a barncat or farmcat thru and thru.

She doesn't like the house much to LN's dismay.

She prefers to roam and hunt anything that moves.

She is sweet when held at least so Miss A can hold her safely.

A few other barncats are not so nice.

Saturday me and Miss A hard boiled a few eggs and made an attempt at a bunny cake.

It looks a little demented but tasted good.

Her parents were working so I watched her.

Her Mama R2 is a nurse in Labor and Delivery and works 3-4 12 hour days each week.

If her Daddy Z is working then I am watching her snaggle toothed lil self.

We take walks in the woods that connect to a local vocational high school behind her parents/grandparents/aunts farm.

They all live on the same family farm in different areas and houses.

I bring her home with me to our farm if I am needed at home.

Right now with LN needing quiet in our house I usually try to stay at her house.

We play outside as much as possible.

It is good to disconnect from the idiot box and have to imagine and make up playtime.
