It’s Thriday

If I’m going to be confused I figured you could join me. Yes, today, for most folks, is Thursday, but because of another furlough day, love ’em – hate ’em, it really is more like a Friday here at the Farm. Especially because Justin and Anna are coming to visit and instead of coming on Saturday like they always do, they are coming tomorrow. So tomorrow is more like a Saturday than a Friday so today is even more like a Friday than a Thursday.

The weather today is off and on gorgeous and Bet and I headed to the Hippy Hot Hut.  I am about a week and a half late getting my fuchsias out of storage and into fresh pots and hanging.  But its all good because the lobelia that I plant with them just came and I won’t have room to put them in flats of their own, I’ll just seed them where they will stay.  However, lots of work to get to that point today and even more once I get there. 

More pea seeds finally came yesterday so I will be planting them after they soak and most definitely not according to the moon signs.  Boy, I didn’t make it very far this year before I had to break with the moon sign calendar. I’m glad I’m not thoroughly convinced it works, cuz now my second batch of peas will do as well eh?

More on that later.  For now, I gotta go move stuff to move stuff.

Speaking of moon, the full moon was huge last night, I went out to check a gate that I went through but because Dirt joined me right about the time I came through it, he shut it.  But my brain couldn’t handle that I didn’t do the shutting. 

You see you can technically shut it but it latches with a looping chain.  A must every time you pass through, absolute must.  If left unchained, there is possibilities of horses escaping and heading down the drive to the highway – and that not only would be a heart breaking tragedy it would be a huge liability.

So out I went.  It was a terrific walk and gave me a chance to check on the permanently pregnant goat and sheep.  I think I might take the night shift more often. It was beautiful.
