Thoughts on the Day

  • Smothered steak and eggs, served blood rare, with basted eggs and hash browns on the side was one of the better breakfasts I’ve had in a while.
  • Sleeping in around here means you can go back to sleep after you get woken up at 6 AM and stay there until about 8.
  • I disassembled the fence that Irish Woman decided had to go.
    • About 3/4 of the screws either had their heads break off during extraction or had to be cut with the reciprocating saw.
    • I also broke two of the Philips bits on my drill.  Dewalt has some explaining to do.
  • It is good that we got almost a month’s worth of rain in one night this week.  It meant the ground was soft enough that I was able to lever out about half of the fence posts using body weight and muscle.  The little digging I had to do was pretty easy too.
  • Irish Woman and I planted the following plants today:
    • 2 hazelnut bushes
    • 4 cherry trees of varying breeds
    • 6 raspberry bushes
    • 1 seedless grape vine
  • Tomorrow we will be preparing a new bed.  We will then transplant four existing blueberry bushes and plant two new blueberry bushes in it.
  • After all that, I will give notice that I am done planting trees and bushes for the foreseeable future.

    But you now have to replace fencing… 🙂 And you’re right those bits should NOT have broken…
