And now, ten.

 Linky bits


1. Was able to get some garden work done. The confluence of feeling pretty good, a bit stronger, and the weather cooperating here.

2. I was able to move a box cage. I am going to use it for a support for cucumbers and tomatoes. The tank held around 275 gallons, so the support cage needed to be pretty stout. For that matter, so did I, to move it!


I think it will hold up cukes! ;)

3. Thankful for my husband's sense of humor. We were talking about "squirreling" money away, and I commented that I was squirreling yarn balls, instead. Deadpan, he pipes up, you are squirreling nesting material... 🤣

4. Am working on getting my tomatoes planted. I swore I wasn't going to go overboard, 6, tops... 

11 plants this year. 

Ummm... My count is REALLY off there, somehow. But, I have a few people who can't grow tomatoes, so I will have plenty to share. And my soup makings, too. That works out nicely. 

5. I was cleaning out a raised bed, and found a volunteer crookneck! Managed to get it cleared of weeds, and so I will have one more plant for this year.

6. I suppose this is weird, but I am thankful that I don't have to go anywhere for the weekend. Busy time traveling bothers me, so just staying local with family is just fine! 

7. And thankful that I get to watch Indy with my Dad for another year. We compare cars, drivers, (old and new), and just have a day chatting and noshing. Mom and Husband do other stuff, it's not a biggie for them. 

8. Goldfinches are back! Been watching the sparrows, too. They are moving into the birdhouses we have around. Happy for them, they eat lots of bugs! 

9. I signed up for a garden group membership, and my teacher gave me a good referral. And, honestly, I didn't know that she knew anything about my signing up! 

10. I have started using my elliptical again. There was some confusion about my ability, and safety doing so. After a serious talk, the confusion was worked out, and I am able to get up first thing in the morning, and exercise. Helping me feel SO much better!!

Good week to everyone! Enjoy!!

What good news you are able to exercise again and to move that box cage! That did take a lot of strength and I'm sure it will work beautifully. It's always a joy to read your ten things.

Your post reminds me of how excited I am to get outside this week and work in my garden. I haven't a clue yet exactly what (or how many!) plants I am putting in, but I'm definitely ready to plant. Your box cage should be great for cukes!
