After torrential rain the other day the ground is very soft and pliable.
Can't you tell by the way the green bean seeds are trying to say hello?
It's been 7 days since I planted them.
7 hot and dry, windy, cold and rainy days all at once.
A week of extremes of course even for Delaware.
At least they seem to be alive.
Grateful for small wonders!
Yesterday I had to hightail it to PA to pack and haul LN's college apartment home.
She had a 10:30 apt at which time her key fob turned on.
There were 4 doors to get through from truck to apt and back with each load.
Exactly 2 hours later it turned off ready or not.
When she left in early March she was told it'd be 2-3 weeks max.
Not months people but weeks...
3 of the 4 girls in her apartment walked out with books for online work and some (not all) clothing.
Oh yeah, they also only allowed 2 people to accomplish this fete in 2 hours.
Roommates scheduled separately.
I have never hauled a*s so fast as that day.
We made it with less than 10 min to spare.
We went back in after dumping totes and floatsam at the back of the truck on the ground.
We made a good tour of what was left double checking everything.
First girl out forgot so much but we had no way to haul more.
Last girl was after us so maybe she could but we aren't sure.
Afterwards we pushed, shoved and packed the truck.
Oh yeah it was misting rain on the way up and during and once on way home.
Funtimes!
4 girls shared a 4 bedroom apt with common kitchen/living room and 1 bathroom.
LN owned 75% of kitchen things.
Not her but another roommate that remained a few weeks after LN left food in the fridge.
You can only imagine how fun that was.
Luckily the college forbids upholstered furniture to prevent bugs (ewww) so none of that to deal with.
LN had other furniture like shelving units and storage items.
The 4 door was stuffed to the ceiling and truckbed was full up.
It's all home and being resorted, washed up and repacked for the fall (hopefully) semester.
What an ordeal to get LN's things home! Good thing the two of you have always been an efficient, hard-working team. You had to be to get what needed to be done done.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it remarkable (and amazing) that seeds can survive under the most difficult circumstances? More than once we've had torrential rainfalls with puddles standing for two days all over the garden . . . and yet the tiniest seeds can survive, sprout and grow after that. Yay for your beans!
MamaPea that was us with rain this week. Hard and fast and washing out areas all around the state. Seeds are very resilient for sure. This week shows some sun so fingers crossed the beans will pop through.
DeleteMe and LN do make a great pair. I am hyper and she is calming so we mesh.
Congratulations !
ReplyDeleteNice work on limited time. Aren’t you glad now about all those shows and fairs that taught one how to really breakdown in record time? 😂
LOL Goatldi I never thought of that. I guess we do breakdown quickly. The cleanup at home went more slowly but is done. Ready for fall fingers crossed.
