Good morning. Thank you for the kind birthday greetings. I am not a very good blog member. I have been feeling quite overwhelmed with all that is happening around me. Between Dr appts, work, farm, and family, I cannot keep up. I did get our taxes sent to the bookkeeper. Now to pay the tax bill. Once that is done, it should be a big stressor off my back.
The weather has really thrown us off. It has been in the 80s here. Usually, we are overwhelmed with wind this time of year. Miguel wanted to fire up the air conditioner. I said NO! I know we will get snow again in April. I have gone ahead and started to water the garden. Our peach tree has bloomed, and frozen, and bloomed some more. The rhubarb is coming on, garlic is green and growing, with walking onion coming on. Strawberries are greening up. No blooms yet. Haven’t seen any asparagus yet either.
I am happy to hear how well Annie is doing. Sorry to hear about AJs father. Hope that Janice’s brother is tolerating his dialysis. Miguel got an acute kidney injury following his surgery. Still following with the nephrologist. They think it will resolve.
RKessler, when I worked in Chicago, they would switch between air conditioning and heat just once, and back again just once. And they’d do the switch to air conditioning ridiculously early in the year, like “Oh, it’s 68 degrees, and tomorrow is March 1, so I suppose we need air conditioning now,” and of course we’d have many weeks before it would be reliably spring weather, and we’d only have one or two warmish days and then a whole lot more cold ones, but congrats people, we’re not running heat anymore, so you’d better bring your warm clothes.

Good morning all from warm Atlanta (for a moment). Cold weather blows in later today.
Pumpkin came for breakfast this morning. It remains a petite black cat. I thought it was kitten age, around 9 months, but now I wonder.
The azaleas are full of blooms. They are a delight.

We ate asparagus from the garden Saturday night. All 8 sprigs!
strawberries are starting to bud, I’ve been fertilizing them hoping for sweeter berries this year.
I start traveling soon, for a lot of the next three months, so have debated planting the garden now in our unseasonably warm early spring.
I’d put in seeds, but we have too many cats who like the garden bed, sigh.
Drought is looming. We should probably flush the gray water lines if we want anything from the garden this year.
Currently, the strawberries seem to get most of that water.
sigh.
