I am, however, enjoying my Lenten Roses. I found another one blooming this week.
They are each different. I have 3 more that don't really look like they will bloom this year. I have seen pictures of chocolaty brown ones, and I am hoping that one of my hold-outs might turn out like that!
This weekend I moved the chickens out of the garden and gave their coop a long overdue hose down. They are now stationed on our front lawn...strange, I know, but we are hoping they can green up the poorly growing grass there.
After moving the coop for the first time in 3 months, I hauled 3 wheelbarrows full of poo to the compost bin. The bin is now filled to capacity, since my Mom cleaned out her flower beds of Fall leaves this weekend as well.
Now that the chickens are moved, we can start planting the garden! JP tilled lime and compost into 2 beds, and my Mom and I planted peas. We got them planted between rain showers. Once it dries up a bit more, I'll prep another bed for lettuce and radishes.
JP worked in the garage all weekend, and I helped him some, in between washing and hanging out 5 loads of laundry. Mostly everything has been retrieved from different temporary storage places, and have found permanent homes in the cabinets. There will still be a tall closet and a low set of drawers to go in, then the last couple of bins can be emptied. What a difference they all make! (I'll post pictures next week, when it should be completed.)
The girls had a great weekend as well. They spent all day yesterday outside in the fresh air and sunshine.
Tomorrow, J starts her 3 day stretch of PSSA testing...required for all students in PA. We have to travel to another University about 25 minutes away. L and I will work on school work from the laptop. 2 of the 3 days I will have to dash off to work once we return home. It will be a crazy next few days.
Maybe I should give up Cyber Schooling for Lent next year?
