June 3-8

[etienettebluet]

We've been home nearly a week and I finally finished journaling the trip and reading all my backlog.  Wednesday we went to social moot and Shelly came in for another round of appointments and stayed three days.  We had rain the first couple days so it was Sunday before the ground was dry enough for me to weed the raised beds.  Tomatoes and potatoes are looking good.  There's some brassica goodness happening but the middle of that bed needs seedlings to fill in and I'm thinking it's too late to find 'em.  Monday I started clearing up the community garden; it all came up except the parsnips.  I've got pole beans, bush beans, winter squash, yellow and pattipan squash, nasturtiums, carrots, cucumber and even five artichokes.  While I was waiting for the ground to dry I hit a few thrift stores... found a glass wasp trap at one of 'em.  Talked again about taking out the north maple tree and sounds like Leofwyna agrees; gotta get a bid on it.   Over the weekend we noticed the AC isn't cooling so Monday I called for service (Wednesday 1-2 pm) and an upgraded estimate if we have to replace it.  At the sewing table I'm piecing up another crazy top for Kronberg using samples that was involved in the flooding while we were gone.  They'd been spread out in the laundry room to dry and I decided there was no point in packing them up again.
