What did you do in the garden today?

So it was a fuel on off solenoid and fuse . New part arriving Friday . Jerry rigged tractor to run without it until then . Cost 200$ .

We're watching the bird feeder live cam at the Cornell Lab in Ithaca New York and the trees and shrubs are all still bare. It was snowing an hour ago. You folks in the eastern part of the US have my boggled sympathy.

On a side note, if you enjoy watching birds at a feeder, check out the Cornell Lab live feeder cam. We leave it on nearly all the time and Mochi (our male geriatric cat) gives it 3 stars! Lets us see birds we never get here like grackles and cardinals.

Awww....I just watched a mama red-tailed hawk feed her babies. Very nice! Thanks for the info! Oh yeah, I also watched a squirrel getting into the bird feeders at Cornell.

Prairie Fire is a very precocious tomato. All 4 plants (including the 2 I gave away) have little tomatoes on them already. My kohlrabi are softball sized. Biggest ones yet! T-2 days till I leave Cali. Still need to photo the garden before I go.

Just half a block down the street from my office, we have a 5 story old bank with a resident pair of Perigrins. They like to yell at people on the sidewalk.

So the new Fork had its debut this evening. Handled it pretty darn well. Thats Burdock.

So DS tried XYZAL last week as his regular prescripted meds weren't cutting it this season. He had an allergic reaction to it. He became unfocused and extremely fatigued. I mean standing and just staring into space tired.
So his doc put him on claritin D. He's been on it since Friday. Today he came home all watery eyed from work on the verge of tears, red eyed and pale. He said he only slept 4 hours last night and he never stopped working today and was exhausted. Talking to him was like talking to a stoner, he just zoned out (THANK GOD DH was the one driving today). I told him to go lay down and he ACTUALLY DID! I don't think he's napped since he was 4! (maybe in college, but I wasn't there)
OMG my anxiety is off the friggen charts.
No more of this stuff for him.

It might be old school, but has he tried gargling with warm salt water, and a saline nasal spray/netti pot?

Oooo.... I've got 2 of those! This is my first time growing them

OH yes, we are far beyond that. It's going to take days for this crap to wear out of his system.
He is going to start immunotherapy in two weeks. I've only been begging doctors to help his with allergies for 20 years. I still can't get one to help me.
Tree pollen is so bad at the moment that when I came in I felt like my face had acid on it, it was on FIRE. A good washing and cool down with fresh water took care of most of it. My immune system is going crazy.

My 2nd order of Mason Bee cocoons were delivered today, so I took them out to the hatching spot I set up in the barn on the nesting block I made for them. When I opened the box they were in I found that 6 of them had already hatched while in-transit. It was funny to have 2 of them crawl out and onto my hand, look at me as if to say, "Hey, what's up?" and then fly off to do bee stuff.

And then there was this one, who apparently thought it was a nice day to just stroll around a bit to check the place out.
