Last day for planting

Tuesday

I woke up after 6, but stayed in bed until Chris left for work. I got ready for the day. I checked messages, and listened to podcasts on meditation and gardening and fruitarianism while washing dishes. My hands felt good in the hot water. I was waiting for the outdoor chill to wear off.

I watered plants outside, checking for cold damage. I went to the garden to water. I was dismayed to see how much cold damage there was. I went to clean for 90 minutes, mostly carpets.

I went home for breakfast. I read messages and watched short videos. I went to Saronna's house to play. We worked on 76 Trombones and made significant headway.

I went by Alisha's house to pick up the package, but it wasn't there. I went back to cleaning for 45 minutes. I went home to check messages, then checked Alisha's house again. The package was there and I put it in my car. I went to the cleaning house. Jamie and her son were wrestling the mattress into her trailer. I headed home with them following. Chris arrived at the same time, thankfully. The mattress was really heavy. They parked in back and Chris helped carry it. But it did not fit our bedframe even though both old and new were Cal Kings. They put it back on the truck and put the old one back in the frame. At least it got aired out a bit.

After they left, I opened the package that she told me to pick up. It contained 8 fresh sealed meals. Chris put two of them in the oven. After eating the pork one, I picked greens and made a salad. Then I went out to bring in some plants and cover others. I planted the last of the seedlings in the flower bed. I planted some apricot seeds in the pot with the smaller tomato.

I went to the garden to cover the tomatoes. I also watered and set the timer for an hour. Michelle and Casey came by and we had a nice chat. We made plans to work out tomorrow. They went home and I filled a pot with steer manure to take home. I also put out the copper poles.

When I got home, I covered the planter box out front. Then I made tea and jotted some notes for my blog. We watched two episodes of Walker Texas Ranger and ate cherries. Then Chris went to bed and I stayed up to write my blog post. I put on a podcast and laid in the recliner. I think I might have dozed, not really slept. So I got up and went to bed.
