10:42pm Watching the Cleveland vs. Seattle baseball game on TV—fun to see some of our old favorites. We’ve decided to root for Cleveland in general this season, but anytime the Mariners are involved they get our vote. We’d really like to see them get to the World Series—especially while *Edgar is playing.
Yesterday was chilly but dry, so David dressed in layers and mowed grass for hours. I did some housework then went outside and placed markers for the trees to be planted. Hard to make decisions on something that will change the landscape but fun, too. We also marked an area in the N field that I’ll use for dog agility stuff. Dinner was pan fried Tilapia and fresh veggies.
This morning (& yesterday) there was light frost on the ground but no trouble because the sun shone bright & early. Nothing delicate is planted yet, and the strawberry plants are small but strong enough to stand some cold temp. It became yet another beautiful day, and David split his time between lowering the pond ledges by digging out very heavy clay dirt, and continuing to prep the patio area for the gravel we’ll be bringing in.
I planted 40 trees… It wan’t too hard and the suggested planting method (from a SWCD flyer) worked well. A spade and a boot, and a dog to supervise my work.
