Fantastic Friday!

25*, feels like 15*, 63% humidity, NE 9 mph wind, cloudy, FLOOD WARNING

Friday, at last. Not that this has been a bad week (except for my grumpy butt syndrome yesterday morning) I am just glad the weekend is here. Having a WHOLE weekend off is exciting to me. It hasn't happened in a long while. This weekend I hope to hit the Heron Rookery about 20 minutes away, where the herons should be busy fixing their nests. I've seen plenty flying around in the area so I KNOW they are there. In other bird news, farmers fields are covered in birds, geese mostly. The air has been filled with their honking every time I go outside in the yard. Not birds, but that herd of deer I spoke of last week are still hanging around. Yesterday I even saw them in broad daylight near the road. They are getting brave. I KNEW I should of caged my young lilacs and blueberry bushes...... I guess I'm doomed to learn the hard way, always!

This weekend I will also be buying some rocks. It still irks me to think I have to BUY rocks. Any other time rocks would be all over the darn place and in the way. But when I actually NEED them? Nada. Still, it will be time soon to toss some seeds down in that spot, and I can't have them washing out to the street every time it sprinkles. I bet it will look nice too, when that is all said and done. Much better then that fake plastic bed edging I got free last year from my neighbor.

I'm also going to plant my seeds I was supposed to plant yesterday according to my seed starting schedule. Peppers, eggplants and brussels sprouts are on the menu for starting. Just out of curiosity though, I am going to calculate exactly how much a home grown pepper costs me from the seed up. I don't know if I'll like the answer, but that damn curiosity is itching at my brain again.
