Month: May 2021

Ron had a good birthday this year: I made pancakes for breakfast and treated him and Cathy to lunch at Anejo. Cathy gave him a scratch ticket worth $15! She starts a new job at MBL later this month.

“Ravin'” Dave called to wish Ron a happy birthday, and numerous friends posted greetings on Facebook. Newsy letter from Cara.

I planted wildflower and sunflower seeds this week. Matt Holmes and son dropped by to adjust one of the sprayers.

I got a nice surprise, a box from Food Forest Farm in NY state. They’d offered a plant in exchange for proof of voting last November. They sent a Sea Kale; I planted it yesterday.

Started data mapping for the new NEPS. Solved the SSL problem.

Planted bean seeds and did more pruning on the autumn clematis today. Gorgeous walks with Teddy and one with Ron, too.

Did a one-hour standout for Marie Stone. Got screamed at by one of the other volunteers. Forgot to get her rabies booster, I guess.

Ron installed the deck gates and the irrigation system got turned on yesterday.

Over the course of the weekend, I emptied one of the compost bins. Weeded and composted around the roses.

Combined the rest of the compost bin with the remaining pile of decomposed plants and soil and added to two of the garden plots.

I filed Bennett’s 2019 return. They’ve received the last two stimulus payments that were pending their 2020 return.

Had a problem with NEPS that Jim and I think is a server issue. I had to restore the old version.
