Daily Notes- February 29- Leap Day

                                  

I took this picture at the greenhouse prior to the start of my Seed Starting class.  I wanted a reference point for g and I when we look at our lime tree to judge if we are setting fruit or not.  Now we are both clear on which part of the flowers swells into a fruit.  We had been guessing wrong.

This is going to be quite exciting.

I also drove the car for the first Time in a very long Winter.  I don't have snow tires.  And am not a good winter driver when it comes to slipping and sliding.  But the few times I got into a "situation" while driving in the Chicago suburbs in Winter- I turned into the slide.  Excellent. But once I slid off the highway into the front lawn of a business because I braked when I should not have.  Lucky for me, the lawn belonged to my employer- the local newspaper.  One of the sales managers drove it out and parked it for me. I was grateful as I had climbed out and walked to the front door.  Leaving the car where it had stopped sliding- just in front of the gas line shut off.  So NOT my time to die.

g was trying- yet again to do electrical work.  I asked him on the previous attempt to just "please STOP".  But he hears what he chooses and what I say isn't one of the things he chooses to hear. He does not know what he is doing.

I am tired.  We were expecting 2 people for the class- then 5.  I didn't count but every seat was filled plus some at the tables in the back- between 20 and 30 people.  Boss was very happy.  Parking lot was full.  After the class- parking lot was empty. Good thing I had him make more copies.  Really a good thing.  Next class is the big library one with the Land Trust.  In two weeks.

I turned the cloth that is sitting in the walnut water in the crock pot out in the garage- turned off.  Cold now.  Dee mentioned that the walnut project can develop mold at any time now.  Gosh.  What a delight.  When I turned the bundles I could see that the rust particles/flakes of the rusty cans, was doing some coloring.  Which was nice.  But rust can eat thru a cloth if left too long.  So....... well, for sure I am not opening them up today.  What did Scarlett say? "I'll think about it tomorrow".
