i did have fun Friday trying to fix one of the spare mice i had that wasn't working as well as it should have been. i learned how to take it apart and how to take the switch apart and how to take the bit of metal spring out of the switch and to rebend it a bit more to get the spring back, but...

any kind of speedwell or morning glory...

needed a new mousie for the computer as my old one was giving out after only six weeks. yes, i bought a cheap one because i knew i was going to get a better one as soon as i could get some research done on what i really wanted to get or at least had some idea of what was available out there...

they need enough light and some should not be trimmed and let grow to full size (as in the less light you have the more leaves they need to be left untrimmed). we have full sun and almost all clay here in many places and the chives will take over if we let them, but we also hardly ever cut them...

frost warning for tonight and tomorrow night. it was rather cold today and may have had some chances of rain but we only saw a few drops coming down.

i'm surprised my back didn't get upset about dead lifting a big chunk of cement and stones, but so far it hasn't said anything to me in protest. we'll see what it says tomorrow...

Mom mentioned this morning that she wanted to move some windchimes. I said, "Yes, Master!" um, well, ok, when? now? oy... ok, so i got my work pants on and some gloves and just went out and pulled the windchimes and pole right out of the ground and brought it up to where she wanted to move...

she really is for me too... i've never lived with any one else for as long. about 2/3rds of my life.

there aren't any major coywolf populations around here that i know of as there aren't any wolves around either. there are coyotes around for sure. i've seen them running and can hear them yipping some nights. the major predator of pheasants around here is likely the automobile and also some...

forecast said rain chances today after 11am, starting to rain 8:15am...

they may tolerate cooler temperatures but they're not really going to grow much until it gets warm enough. i don't plant the tomatoes here until towards the end of May, if you are at a higher elevation with risks of frost you may want to wait a bit longer or perhaps you only have a few plants...

i can't as i'll be driving miss daisy for both days this weekend. :) besides i live with her... :) :) :)

i'm hoping with the field to the south of us going back to open field and some trees and shrubs planted will get some more pheasants and bobwhites back. we used to hear pheasants calling all the time and would see them around. haven't seen bobwhites in a much longer time.

a few weeks yet before i'll be planting much in the way of beans. with all these cold near freezing nights we're having i've not even put peas in yet.

too bad there's not a stick i can throw that will fetch them...

yes, centre is the "uk" spelling of center.

knee pads are useful. i haul a ground pillow around with me when i'm weeding so i have something to sit on or kneel on when needed. saves the knees a lot of grief for sure - it also saves my back and knees if i'm doing some close up work weeding and want to get close up and personal to the...

cool and cloudy and chances of rain here or there. the next week looks to be much the same. it would be good time to do some digging if i can convince myself to get out and doing it.

i don't have a fruit cake page or recipe. the stubbed toes thread you've posted to recently. if you put that in alone and clicked search titles only it comes up as the only item found... i was pointing to that just for general information about when i used to hang out with the monastery guys...

if you don't actually get a frost the beans should be ok. yes, they won't like it but they should survive.
