Well....it is not in the 60s and raining. I really wanted to start cleaning out and turning the vegetable beds today but that is a no go. I will need to wait for it to dry out a bit. This really is cruddy since Sundays are my only day that I do not work. With the days still being so short it is not possible to do much during the week.
I did get a very nice surprise this weekend. I had to work NYE and NYD at Macaroni Grill. Yes...while you were all having fun or nursing hang overs I was slinging pasta. I am really not complaining though, I am fortunate that I have not one but two jobs! Anyway, a very old friend from back home came in and was sat in my section. She is a dog trainer and retired from the Rocky Mount Childrens Museum. I used to volunteer there and attend day camps. Engel is a great person. It was really nice to reconnect. The first thing she asked me was, "What no chickens".
Yes...most of you know I have kept back yard chickens on and off for years. It is ironic she would ask about that since I have already started planning for a coop at my home. If all things go as planned I will be able to attach a very small greenhouse on to it. Well, it will be more of a walk in cold frame but beggars cannot be choosers!
I am still pouring over the current catolouges trying to decide what seeds to order...oh the lack of space and cash. Charlie and Lillian, the cats, are very ill lately since I am doing all this planning and sketching and ignoring them. They will get over it. It will be interesting to see what they think when their feathered friends come to stay though!
