I ended up ordering three 6-in-1 tall raised beds from Epic Gardens. I wish I could have gotten the tall 8-in-1 size, but they were out of stock and not expected to ship until June. I am considering adding some when they open up the pre-order list. I am tempted to get two round ones for things like a asparagus bed or strawberries. I'm still working on a way to keep the deer from eating the plants. I'm hoping hoops with netting will suffice. Oh, just had a thought that the wild turkeys may also be tempted to help themselves, so the netting would solve that issue, too. I may order some grow pots for herbs and tomato and zucchini plants.
I'm going to order mulch this week. I just need to calculate how many yards we need. Bond doesn't want to pay for the dyed mulch and I'm tired of not having dyed, so this may be on my dime.
I ordered clover seed for the yard. We have some bare areas where we didn't get the leaves off and they killed the grass out. It's a shaded area and I'm not 100% that there is enough sunshine for the clover. Just gonna cross my fingers and hope for the best.
This past weekend Bond, B, and I went on another cemetery excursion. This time we drove 90 minutes to one that is supposed to haunted. The weather was sublime! On the way back we found three other cemeteries, and one was really neat because it was set in the country on a dead end. It was really peaceful. I had to laugh at a person's name on one of the tombstones, though. Morris W. Morris. Seriously. Like, did his parents have so many children prior to his arrival that they had run out of creativity and just took the easy path?
Tonight is date night. We're going to order takeout from our favorite Indian restaurant. We ordered from there last Tuesday and now we have a jag for it.
So, my sister has been sick. She was tested for COVID-19 last week and it came back negative. Thirty percent of the tests have a false negative though. I'm betting she actually has it. She has the symptoms. It's concerning, because she has angina from having had typhoid.
My daughter visited my parents last week. Initially when I heard about it, I thought that's great, because I assumed they sat outside, but my sister said that wasn't the case. I'm like WTF! I can't imagine why she thought it was okay to go into their house and why they didn't redirect things to sitting outside - apart. Plus, my daughter brought a friend with! Fuck!
My exciting news is that we booked a house via VRBO for a week this summer. I spaced a day between rental blocks for the house to air out and the host accepted our dates, so I feel like it's low risk. The house is less than 3 hours north of us and on a lake. There are 4 kayaks, a paddle board, and a boat for our use. The shoreline is sandy, so swimming should be nice. There is a nice fire ring with Adirondack chairs for evening entertainment. Bring on the s'mores! I'm so stoked that we're going to have a vacation after all.
My work has extended telecommuting until May 1 and will re-evaluate on a weekly basis. I'm super nervous that they're going to call us in early. I'm not sure what I will do if that happens. I'm stressed about it.
