Daily Notes- May 4th. Raining with a Good Chance of visiting Urgent Care.


 Once Upon a Time I wished for a greenhouse.  Somewhere on this four acre piece of land. It never happened.  And I doubt it would be used by anyone other than rodents.  Possibly to start seeds.  And then the wood would rot. Maine is excellent for rotting wood.  Damp. So Damp.

We are going to the Urgent Care across the bridge.  The blister on husband's finger is looking grey.  Not good and It's Wednesday- and all the doctors have the day off.  Well, husband's doctor.  It's not Hot or Red or any other bad symptom.  But the nurse thinks "grey" isn't a good thing.  We'll see. I take my First Aid Seriously.  I have been changing the bandaid every day.

Sunshine yesterday and husband cleaned out the Herb Bed Squares for me.  Chives are up and tall and some Tarragon- two in the square and one escaped to another square and will need to be relocated.  I've tried Dill and Cilantro and Parsley.  They hardly ever germinate- well, they do in the milk jugs but I procrastinated and didn't start any seeds.  I like having Dill for Pickles and Parsley for- well, I don't know what but have no use for Cilantro.  Not much use for Tarragon.  I just like having a Herb Garden. It's some thing a Master Gardener should have.  The IDEA of a Herb Garden.  I might just plant flowers.

Buy Herbs as needed.  Whatever I plant will make the bees happy.  Pollinate the Grapes and Blueberries. that's why I have a Herb Garden.  Bees.  Not very many Bees these days.

The Crab Apple trees have tiny leaves.  The Forsythia is all yellow.  The Rhodie is nice and pink/purple.  Hundreds of Daffodils in white, pale yellow and dark deep gold with orange centers.  It's very Clown Pants out there- no design at all.  I like it.

Read Josh and Hazel's Guide To Not Dating (each other) yesterday.  Christina Lauren.  I love their books. Two friends- Lauren and Christina.  They write together.  Josh and Hazel set up blind dates for each other and then double date. It's sweet and messy and funny and the ending is just perfect.  I have more Jude Devereau to read on the pile.  I'll take one to urgent care with me.

I am trying dill and cilantro from seeds, so far, they look pretty sad! Now I have to figure out where to plant them.

I love forsythia and managed to kill mine years ago I heard you could not kill one ;0
