It was a mild winter, no complaints, but it sure has been a slow, cool spring. Windy, too, for the past several days. But today couldn’t have been improved on. I was in a t-shirt by 10, and by my standards got quite a bit done outside.
Laundry, always a tedious drag, gets easier with some Emmylou Harris wafting through the open window.
I got this panel from GC Guy for hauling off that metal shed – which I’m also gonna use. It’s only 45 watts, but every little bit helps and there have been times in the winter and monsoon when I wished I had a bit more panel. It’s going on top of the powershed, so installation will be no big gig. I didn’t install it but I did get it tested and some new cable run.
Got that shed’s insides cleaned up and sealed. I’ll put the door back on as soon as the foam cures.
Finished the fencing on my new garden spot. Still not sure how I’m gonna hang the gate, though.
And look!
Look how prettily my pear tree is leafing out! It got its first good soaking of the year today.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I shall go deal with chickens and then knead bread dough before I have to close the cabin back up. Nights are still usually in the high 20’s here, though tonight the forecast says low forties.
Yes, I think it is finally spring. 🙂 41 degrees outside this morning, and yesterday I saw that my spinach and turnips have come up in the garden beds. Looking good. 🙂
Do you have an extra post, even a T-post? It could be driven into the ground and the gate wired to that. It would not free swing, but would close the opening off.
Wore me out just reading all that! Spring is trying to get a hold here, but more snow is forecast for this weekend. The first spear of asparagus poked it’s head up then froze. Weeds in the garden beds are flourishing tho, so spring must really be just around the corner. 🙂
