Quiet Weekend

Not much done in the yard this weekend. I had crew practice Saturday morning and the river conditions were atrocious with ripping current, wind-caused chop and a few imbecilic fisherman not minding the proper river traffic flow. And Sunday was taken up by working on my car to replace some burned out lights and getting a long deserved oil change. And then I discovered that my home computer went on the fritz. I took that over to my favorite little computer repair place on Belmont but forgot to bring my power adapter. Once they had the power adapter they were able to determine that the hard drive was kaput. I'll have a new hard drive with our precious data recovered from the old, hopefully this evening.

We did move the chicken coop over a new patch of cover crop and I turned the soil where the coop had been previously. The soil looks pretty good and I'm surprised at how loose it is at this point in our typically rainy late winter. I think the cover crop was a great idea. In a couple of days we'll move the coop again to the area where I grew potatoes and sunflowers last year. This partly due to a request from our neighbors to move the coop to where they and their 2-year-old son can watch the chickens during their last couple of weeks in their smaller digs of their converted large garage (they're remodeling their main house and it is almost done).

I got our tax refund last Friday. So, after catching up on paying bills, we can sit down and order all our goodies from Seeds of Change.
