Saturday 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.

Hopefully the shelter will attract more volunteers when it moves. We used to have a ton of college kids about 10 years ago, but they all petered off. 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.
