Daily Notes- March 3rd- Fully Vaccinated Day


 Crows.  Old Crow.  whatever.  I love them. So clever and family oriented.

I'm not seeing any.  Perhaps they have moved?  Usually, there are always crows where I live.

Today is two weeks from the second vaccination.  So, fully involved. Daughter had to drive far but she had her first vaccination.  And she purchased a laptop.  With her stimulus check.  Texted her brother and he said- "now we work on Mom".

The fruit trees got sprayed.  I may pound in the fertilizer spikes today.  Or not. My husband has a list of things to do.  He went out late in the afternoon yesterday to finish the back beds.  Now clear of all old fallen leaves.  And ticks.  Ticks love leaf litter.

He forgot to apply sunscreen even though his dermatologist removes cancerous cells on each visit.

Well, 20 hours later (exaggeration) I am back to finish this post.  We cut and pulled down all the grape vines off the garden trellis.  We neglected this task last year and got no grapes.  The Twin Boys down the road were very sad. They liked eating them.  So this year--- we cut and we hauled (and there was swearing).  New vines are healthier and we need to replace the top layer of the trellis.  We talked about different ways of doing that.  Ten minutes later my husband was vacant on the entire plan.  He nods like he is listening.  He isn't.

We also cleared out the herb beds.  I pulled out leaves and old stalks (shaking off any seed heads onto the bare soil)- tomorrow I will toss dill seeds out and cilantro.  I don't like cilantro but daughter loves it. We have only one elderberry bush- good sized.  I neglected to cut berries last summer.  I do love elderberry jelly. This year- fingers crossed--the plants create another harvest.  Last summer I was well and truly exhausted most days. We have three small Christmas trees that need to be moved.  The blueberries also need some tough love pruning.  Sigh.

It's supposed to rain tomorrow so I can read.
