J is winding down her High School experience. She took an AP exam last week, and had another this AM. After school today, she told me "now I don't have to care about school any more!"
In the past couple of months, she has been busy being a senior.
She went to prom with a group of friends.
Last week, she and I attended a picnic given by the Lion's Club to honor the HS Students of the Month - she won back in November.
Over the weekend, she and I spent a couple of hours doing a photo shoot for senior pictures. We got some nice ones!
She graduates a week from Friday. I can hardly believe it!
In the meantime, I have been trying to whip my garden into shape. Despite the lovely rye cover crop and the fact that JP tilled all that biomass in - twice, the ground was like concrete when I went out to plant last week. I worked and worked - even used the weed eater/tiller, and it barely broke through either. JP ended up tilling a 3rd time, and I got a bunch of stuff planted ahead of the forecasted rain overnight last night. It didn't rain very much, so here's hoping for another storm.
We got a lawn sweeper, so I have been pulling it behind the ATV after JP mows, and collecting a lot of grass clippings. I weeded and mulched my asparagus bed very thickly with it - so thickly that I am now harvesting a bunch of white asparagus - it hasn't broken through the mulch, but developed under it.
I also picked the first few strawberries last week - yummy!
