ravena_kadeSaturday I got to work in the yard. First day of garden work. There is so much to fix from last fall. More neighbor's fencing falling in my yard. I do so much fence repair that I feel like I own a cattle ranch. I only do this to keep the fences from falling on all my plants...or my head.
I also have dead grass because the lawn mower men, that I fired, scalped the lawn to the dirt last year. I will need to seed and feed (as naturally as I can). Im actually going to put down clover.
For Easter I made a green salad, a potato salad, and deviled eggs. The cousins pulled out left overs from Christmas. I wanted to go to a restaurant, but Dad wanted to go there. Sigh. I really enjoyed the deviled eggs...
Today is Patriots Day and the credit union is closed. I spent the day puttering around. Morning was inside chores and at 10 AM I headed out to the yard again for 4 more hours of hard work, Filled 5 cash barrels full of yard waste and dug out a perennial that had been in the ground for 17 years. Put down grass seed and widened one of the longest fence boarder garden by 8 inches. Im tired.
Tonight I have the shelter. The city has not given the animal shelter the occupancy permit for the new place . I was hoping that I would be done by now...the new place is not accessible to people without cars. I said I would be there until the move, but I think I need to say that I won't be back after Memorial Day. No matter what. I physically don't want to deal with giant dogs who were never leash trained. My rotator cuff hates it.

If I was the volunteer coordinator I would send out flyers to the local colleges. They may get some volunteer help once the new building opens as it will be part of the City.
