Today’s agenda:
1) laundry
2) clean bathrooms
3) harvest some romaine and red leaf lettuce
4) treat the chickens to some corn on the cob
5) work on new doll blanket
6) work on creating a new blog about the topless greenhouse (I figure this can be a good example or a bad example depending on the success or failure of my project) Probably won’t finish it today . . .
Mavis Butterfield says
I would record your progress on the greenhouse…You never know.
Susan says
Supposed to be 92 here today in the PNW where I am.
I bought 4 mangoes at Safeway for .05 each (digital this week) and made 5- 1/2 pints of Mango/ Jalapeno Dipping Sauce early this morning before the heat hits.
Hubby planted corn, green beans and yellow beans
Son is coming from Seattle to make me a Mothers Day dinner . He’ll spend the night
Youngest Granddaughter will be home from college Monday. Cant wait to see her!!!
It’s a great weekend!! 🙂
Mavis Butterfield says
That dipping sauce sounds good!!
Kelly says
You must live near me, and I’m glad we only hit 90. Your sauce does sound delicious!

I’m at a 3 day rug hooking workshop and loving every minute of it. Its my Mother’s Day gift to myself. Happy Mother’s Day to all of you who have been a mother to someone!
Any sheep lovers out there? You can adopt a sheep on Fair Isle from Rachel Challoner, crofter at Barkland Croft. It would make a great Mother’s Day gift for the wool lover in your life. This was where Mavis bought her hats when she visited Fair Isle.
Paula says
Thank you for the information about adopting a sheep. I have sponsored several sheep on the Isle of North Ronaldsay, Orkney Islands, Scotland, but have found them non responsive on updates. I am disappointed. I even visited my sheep last year. Next year I will sponsor them on Fair Isle. I just love sheep!
Mel says
We spent the day interviewing nannies. I’m hoping we can line up something so I can stop worrying about childcare for when I go back to work.
Paula says
Good luck Mel! It’s such an important decision!
Mel says
Thanks! It’s crazy how competitive it is. We’re basically in a bidding war for someone since it’s so hard to find childcare here.
Jules says
This morning…painted young hazelnut trees so they do not suburn.
This afternoon… sit in the shade!

Well ladies here in Norfolk, England it is unseasonably cold for May yesterday was a high of 11c and last night down to 7c meant to be warmer but cloudy today! Slowly warming up during the day this week but night temps down to 4c!!
I’m still playing catch up in my garden after the three months in Spain in the RV my body is too. Garden is more or less prepped yesterday weeded the final patch and started to clean out the greenhouse ready to plant tomatoes I’ve been gifted. Today plant out rest of beetroot and leek starts it’s all go this time of year .
