Digging bulbs on a Sunday morning

Sunday

We got up around 8. I took probiotics and a fiber capsule. I read messages for awhile, then took the rest of the supplements. I whipped up a batch of cheese squares. Chris cooked some bacon in the oven, but it wasn't ready in time. I threw some in the cheese squares and put them in the oven. I also put some eggs in the steamer and made an ice bath. I peeled the eggs from a few days ago.

Then I went to the garden to help Jenni plant the bulbs we dug up. She wasn't there yet, so I turned on the water at the central pump. It didn't come out at my garden, but I found it coming out further down the line. I shut those off and then I got some water, not much. I hooked up the hose but it hardly came out the other end.

Jenni arrived with the bulbs. Bags of them. I dug trenches and she put them in and covered them. It was windy and chilly. When we got down to the last two bags, I said we should take them home and put them in pots for the summer. She agreed. We tried to get the nozzle off of the hose, but it was firmly stuck. I whacked it on a board till most of the pieces came off. More water came out but still no pressure. When we left, I shut the water off at the central location.

I went home to find the cheese squares out and looking dark. Chris had decided they didn't look done so he gave them more time. Sigh. But he did have the eggs in the ice bath. I ate the remaining fiber gel from yesterday. I read e-mail for bit, then made and ate breakfast. Rachel texted Steve and me about bringing a truckload of manure next Saturday. I got dressed and put some of the cheese squares in a container. Rachel texted me that her husband would bring a load of manure next Saturday at 11:30.

I took my trombone and went to church. I left the snack in the back and assembled my trombone up front. I warmed up a little and talked to Butch. Then the service started with praise music. The cpl gave the sermon. Then the band played two hymns. Afterward, I talked to Todd and Melanie. I told Jenni about the manure. I collected the cheese squares that were left (not many). We all went home.

I changed my clothes and finished the pistachios that I was eating before. I put the eggs away and steamed another 7 eggs. I looked at possible Mother's Day crafts online. I sat outside in the grass and read a book. Then I came in to put the eggs in an ice bath. Chris came in with John. He gave John some of the meat leftover from Friday. He took John home.

When he got back, Chris signed into the game. I finished a sewing video and signed in. We ended in the middle of a fight with hobgoblins last time so we started up in the middle and finished the fight. They surrendered. We divided up the spoils of war and let them go. We ended at 8.

I made tea and we watched the last episode of Longmire. We read on our laptops, then went to bed.
