Thank you. Dementia stole the last years of his life. So sad.

Thanks Aart, sad that hubby can't even visit his relatives this year due to Covid.

Yep, been a couple deaths in my extended family that were not able to be fully mourned due to COVID.

the covid is also hard on weddings..
but I feel the worse about the high school kids who could not finish the school year. Lots of potential good memories lost..
after my coffee this morning, I went out and watered all 64 of the tomatoes, peppers and herbs really good..
the first self watering pots I have not done anything with at all since I planted them. they are staying moist and the plants are growing nicely. I wish all the plants had those kinds of pots.. Next year they will..
i talked to DD today.. she has 150 tomatoes in self watering pots.. each set up requires two 5 gallon buckets.. She lives in town and has a small yard. I will bet she can't put both feet on the ground at the same time. LOL
I wonder how corn would grow in pots ?

I got the flooring laid out and cut tonight. It will lay there overnight and relax, then tomorrow I can do the final trimming. Then cut the quarter round to tack it in place. Also cut wood to cover the window so I can attach hardware cloth to the frame. Oh yes, and scraped out the old caulk from those two windows in the goat room and painted all the wood . Once it dries, I can put in new caulk. When you get free windows, sometimes they need work .

I found a 100 foot roll of hardware cloth at a feed store in Altavista, 4 feet wide! Perfect for doing my windows on the goat house. Seems like all of the hardware stores are sold out.

score for Cappy !!!

funny how it will go from 4' wide to 4' tall just by using it..
I am thinking of making a raised bed for beans and peas and maybe corn.
My hip is so sore that I am not doing any outside work today..
