Worky Worky
We played more than usual last week-end, but we worked more than usual the week-end before. We are mostly working this week-end too (with actual paying jobs – woohoo!!!), so……next week-end, we may play, but we’ll be off in a couple of weeks on our Bermuda trip on the Roseway, so we may just do a lot of around the house maintenance before our long trip and stay in BDA.
We have purchased a 20 foot shipping container which now sits in our back yard. This is for storing all the Land Rover parts that have been making our front yard look like a ghetto or a junkyard, or a junkyard in a ghetto, since the blue rover was finally disassembled. And we have a new storage shed adjacent to the carport for storing tools and keeping biodiesel making equipment cleaner and dryer.
Life is good!
We have unfortunately not participated in any of the St. Croix Food and Wine Experience activities this year. The events sounded wonderful as usual, but we just did not have the extra bucks to do it.
We went to the Pickled Greek last night to see how Peter and crew did for their first one. They placed second in the appetizer category. Congrats to Aaron and the back of the house!
Now back to work repotting an hibiscus…..

I find myself very busy…cutting grass, mending fences from all the spring storms, shoveling horse manure and general spring planting continues.
Should I send back the Rover emblem now that proper storage has been secured?
Well enough banter…back out to the yard.

Is the emblem on the “approved” list for things allowed into BDA?
How do you ever have time to blog and check your facebook and answer phone calls, and…..oh! lunchtime……

So, poverty has not prevented excess in your case, then, N?

We humans seem to be programed to the spring cleaning “thang” no matter where we live. It must be the change of light and temperature. We are turning up the soil in our vegetable garden, and I am finally getting the soot, and mess cleaned up in my studio after a lonnnnnng winter of being tightly closed up against the cold. Soon, I will be able to find my drill bits, and various pliers under scraps of metal…

The ground has unfrozen already, Trudi?

Ground unfrozen, song birds are back, snow in the valley is gone, mountains are covered, beautiful. It is good to be at the top of the water chain. No polluting factories up here! Bought my seeds yesterday and will plant the cold tolerant veggies today. Here Comes the Sun…
