February 25, 2015 Moving Dirt & A Trip Down There

On a clear day. . .





Monday 2/23. After lunch JB used the tractor to put more dirt and a couple bucket loads of wood-chip mulch from around the splitter into the large raised garden bed.  Even though our high was only 42, the sun was warm to work in.  

I took a nap afterwards, and that was our excitement for the day, except for watching two more episodes of the third season of Game of Thrones.

Tuesday 2/24.  JB and I left for Down There a little before 9:00 am.  With all the cold temps we have been experiencing, the road had once again turned to solid ice, or solid mud in places.  JB dropped me off at the laundromat and drove off to run errands.  I was done before he went to Fred Meyer, so he picked me up and we went together.  We had not been shopping together in a long time, and we both agree that it will be a long time before it happens again. . .

I was amazed at how green the hills had become just since I was down last week.  Elsie said that even some of the orchards are beginning to bud.  That will not bode well, considering that winter is definitely not over.  We have snow in the forecast for the rest of this week, and March is not known for being gentle.

The girls gave us an egg yesterday, and another one today.  It was a beautiful and mostly clear day with a high Up Here of 50.

Wednesday 2/25. It is 35 with a light overcast this morning.  Hopefully the forecast for snow is correct.

Thought for the day: The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. George Washington Burnap (Thank you, Sandy)
