Garden and yard work

Yesterday's dirt run to a farm in Salt Lick almost filled the raised bed. I got a couple more buckets of Jim's magic dirt to finish topping it off.

I picked up some onion sets this morning and got them all planted.

All smoothed out and I watered them as well. We're supposed to get some storms tonight, but I always water them as soon as they are planted to be sure. Weather predictions aren't always right.

Heather dumped the last of the rabbit trays on the old water trough site. I took another bucket of gravel off it yesterday.

 With everything smoothed out, some top soil and grass seed added, it should look like yard very soon.

Spring seems to be here

 After snow a couple weeks ago, spring seems to stopped by for a visit. I hope it stays around for a while.

Short lived break

 

Our break didn't last real long, but it is supposed to be back in the 50's in a few days.

A break in the weather

 We finally got a break in the cold we've been having. I took the opportunity to put the parts I got a while back on the camper. I needed warmer temperatures for the caulk to cure when I sealed the hinges in. Anyway, both awning arms have new hinges now.

Minor surgery

I had a spot of melanoma removed from my back last week. I couldn't see it. Natalie saw it and I had it checked out. 

Now I just have to get the stitches removed next week (28 of them). 
 

garden box for Jessica and Heather

I have been digging out the gravel from the old horse water trough riser of the last several days. Today I got it basically finished up and cut the framework and moved it over to the girls yard.

They want to make a raised bed garden out of it. We'll empty out the big buckets they used this year to fill it up.
 

Freezer is full again

Heather and I went to Flemingsburg this morning and picked up half of Ralphie, about 460 pounds. The freezers are full again!
