My world has been enjoying Spring rain and clouds. That means wet weeds and wet grass. Yes. Can't mow or trim wet messes. Love it. We did start planting a ground level round bed last Tuesday. Then the rain settled in. Tomorrow the temps are heading up with sun coming in. Same for a couple more days. That means we'll have to work a big bag of dirt onto the dolly and wheel the dirt down the property to the other round bed. I have more seedlings to plant. And the potato bed from last year? Nope. I didn't get all the spuds dug up so yup. There are some pretty green potato plants itching to have dirt mounded around them. Meantime we're listening to another freaky audio book and thinking how to tidy our downstairs bathroom. Go us.

Won't the grass grow quicker and thicker after the rains? Make it harder to mow lol

@Ineeddentures Truth? I'm too pooped to mow anything today. I did get out and start on the round garden project. That also means I got in a walk, looking for tools.

Freaky audiobook? Life is never boring with Lenore! You get interesting entertainment and there is the coolest colored house surrounded by beauty. I love it!

@AmbiePam Freaky as in children who are not innocent small people. No. Those kids are actually nasty and you better lock your bedroom door at night. And is the husband nice and normal or is he trying to get the wife locked up so he can get life insurance money? On we go.....

@sallypup Sounds like a recent movie called Weapons about freaky little children. I bet it’s a great audiobook!

It was a gloriously gorgeous day today with a mix of clouds and sun. You can drive into town during a downpour and see people out with their weedeaters.

@nono1959 I hate the engine roar of summer. Hoes and shovels are so much quieter.

You need some volunteer muscles to help you out. Wish you had some. Bags of dirt are heavy! We should be able to plant seeds, etc. here in a few more weeks.
