One of many....

wonderful, beautiful days outside with the munchkins.... It was so nice we took the boys outside to clean up the yard. The boys took it upon themselves to clean up all the sticks in the play yard and we worked on the two holes that Duck fell into. Apprently we have a well established mole running around...his holes are big enough to knock a grown man over and for my 3 yr old to sit in. NOT GOOD. I dumped last years potted soil on top of them and stomped for a bit. We also covered compost number one with one bucket of soil and will put a black tarp over it. Tomorrow I will buy worms on my way home to throw into the new compost bin. We will also put the rest of the straw into the new bin and keep rolling it. We are going to pull up the fences and start putting in sections privacy fencing. I asked Duck if we could buy a new patio suit and he agreed that the one we saw would suit our needs and was reasonable enough. I will get rid of our old one in exchange. He is also building me a cold frame either this evening (he thinks he has enough stuff in the garage) or this weekend when we can pick up the rest of the stuff. We are going to hand till the garden unless we can find someone to do it really cheap. I want to get the ground covered laid and get the beans and tomatoes into the ground. The beans are growing so fast I can't keep them inside much longer. I was thinking about doing one of those topsy turvy things, but I am not so sure about how well the beans will grow in there.

Well I need to run, we have the windows open so the fresh air can come in and I will make sure that we have laundry to dry tonight to warm the house back up when it cools down too much. It is currently a nice 70 degrees inside the house with the window fan sucking in some much appreciated fresh air.

I think that I read the meter really wrong yesterday the reading should have been 7803 not 8803. Today's reading is 7834 which means in one day we used 31 kwh which breaks down our hourly average is 1292 watts per hour...that is really really good. Usually we run about 1666 per hour.

Okay...gonna shred some paper and get it ready for compost.

Toodles.!
