Month: June 2024

The solar panel inspection went very well and as a bonus, the inspector gave me a reason to get after Ron to clear his junk in front of the subpanel in the garage.

While waiting for Ron to get ready to go out, I cleaned the downstairs bathroom.

We traveled to the Mt. Greylock visitor center for a giveaway of Pollinator favorites. We were lucky, they’d had a late start so there were plenty of plants to choose from. I brought home seeds and two plants, foxglove and Echinacea and put them in the corner garden next to soakers. I may move them, just wanted to get them out of their containers.

We had lunch at the Food Project.

We are looking at possible thunderstorms later and more rain through the weekend. So after lunch Ron much to his credit mowed, front and back.

I emailed Burpee some photos of two of the plants they sent which are having problems.

Electrical inspection is scheduled for tomorrow.

Visited Remedy Hall for the first time and boy, was I impressed! Dropped off the bag of window treatments and other useable items and brought home a pretty lamp for the third bedroom.

We made transfer station runs yesterday and this morning. Dropped off the two old metal chairs and other metal objects. Inching toward getting the sun porch organized.

Yesterday we experienced a blizzard of cottonwood seeds while we were sitting on the patio.

I grabbed some daylily clumps from a house on Hall Street and potted them today.

Made a Mediterranean/Greek-style potato salad and hard boiled eggs for lunch.

Met with a mini split contractor. Their proposal is a lot more than the ones we’ve received. He shared some good information on Mass Save rebates which I hadn’t heard before. I put off our planned meeting with another contractor to see if I can get some info on rebate options.

I am sitting at the big desk in the third bedroom with the a/c on full blast. It is hot and humid outside and even getting disgusting downstairs.

I have forgotten what the deck looked like in Mashpee. Our Williamstown deck is starting to look like home: tomato plants and daylilies in pots, a railing planter, wind chimes, umbrella table and chairs.

We may be in for six straight days of rain.

Brought home some tomato plants that were left over from the Pine Cobble School fundraiser. Gave two to Alyssa, maybe for the boys to mind.

Ron finished the gutters.

Online conversation with a mini-split contractor. Email correspondence with a member of the Against Qualified Immunity group.

Insight installed the panels and they look great in spite of the “wavy” condition of the house roof.

After not locating 5-gallon pots nearby, I spent a couple of hours mixing soil and amendments for the tomatoes. Got four potted in saved containers that I hope will be “good enough”. Found another table in the back shed to keep them off the deck floor. Watered the three flower gardens.

Spent part of yesterday afternoon listening to the BAAMS faculty and student vocalists at the Waubeeka clubhouse. Gorgeous views of the fairways. Delighted to hear one student in particular whom I met last winter and whose voice and delivery are better than good!

I transplanted some daylilies into a big planter, hoping for the best.

Washed the two chaises.

Ron’s been cleaning gutters.

Ron got his COVID and Shingrix shots yesterday. I did a small shop at BigY.

Ron got very drunk yesterday but incredibly didn’t hurt himself.
