I had a day completely to myself--no one called me to do anything!! Seems like it's been awhile since that's happened. Everyone agrees that we all need to do some little things for ourselves now that the stress of seeding is over. M was up early and he and C went to Wolf Point to haul some cows back for a neighbor. R was at an auction sale, and I don't know what J was up to. I had transcription and laundry to do this morning and then spent the afternoon outside.
I finally went to the greenhouse yesterday, thinking that maybe the weather had straightened out enough that I could safely plant some things. I bought a few new perennials and planted those in the flower bed today--a lupine, delphinium, balloon flower, lavender, black-eyed susan and a couple other things whose names I don't remember. I also planted 8 pots. I never make just one trip to the greenhouse, and I've decided that I need to go back for a few more things next week. My in-laws are still gone so I should get some plants to put in my mother-in-law's pots, too.
After planting and cleaning up my mess, I realized that the front lawn needed to be mowed again--seems like I just did that! It's very hard to keep up with yard work when it's rainy. I mowed and raked. Now I need M to get the edger out and take care of that chore. Poor Pete had to stay in the house while I mowed since he's a bit high-strung. I can dedicate an entire post to his "issues" and may do that later.
Friday night is movie night so we watched our movie from Netflix and I worked on some paperwork. Farming isn't simple anymore, and I think my husband's secretary (me) needs a secretary!
