Well I rather unexpectedly had to watch after Luke today. We had lots of fun. Reading, playing, eating, and napping. He did the latter two exceptionally well today. Late this afternoon all three of us went on a nice greenway walk. Luke and I will be together again tomorrow, and hopefully things will be back to normal on Friday. I have so much work to do.
Ran a bunch of errands and cleaned the garage. Didn’t get much else done. Weather is glorious but still lots of drying out to do. Need to start moving lots of dirt and burning some more. Still making my seed list. Have much research to do. I’m monitoring a couple of plows on an online auction site. One of them would help a lot.
I was up until about three o’clock this morning looking at vegetable seeds online. Pumpkins and carrots were the main interest, but also checked out okra, peppers, and giant sunflowers. Would like to place an order by the end of the week. I started the morning by making some fleece covers for Luke’s crib railing, since he has recently started chewing on it.. Liz’s mother designed them and Liz got the fabric on Saturday in Cool Springs. The yard was a muddy mess and I tripped and fell as I was loading trash into my car. On my way into town I saw a couple of awesome trucks for sale. I stopped by Big Box for a while to talk with Zach, and then went grocery shopping at Aldi and Kroger. Back at the house I did some office work and once Liz finished up her work day and Luke got done napping we walked around the back field. We looked at where the fruit trees and garden will go. Now I am looking at seeds again, trying to determine what to buy.
My in-laws left early this morning. It was a nice visit, but it is always tiring to have house guests for a week. We relaxed this morning, and attempted to go on a greenway walk this afternoon, but weren’t able to go very far before it started raining. This evening I have been looking at seeds for the garden. Feeling pretty inspired to grow some stuff.
Well, it was a pretty big day. Luke was baptized this afternoon. The priest came to our house and sprinkled Luke. He (Little Man) didn’t really enjoy the experience. I thought it was a nice little ceremony and was happy that both sets of grandparents were here to witness it. This evening we set up the TV on the back deck to watch basketball. It was a little chilly, but otherwise nice. My father-in-law and I went into town to get us tacos in between games. This morning he helped me plan where we will plant our garden and orchard.
