Not Very Motivated

For some reason, not working encourages me to not be very motivated to start anything. But I have gotten lots of necessary stuff done in the few days I have been jobless. I saw on Jacquie's blog a flag quilt - which has me thinking of digging through my stash to do one of my own. Flags (and really anything Americana) are my undoing. I have a bunch of fabric left over from my red, white and blue block of the month quilt - I could put the leftovers to good use.


After last week in the 60's, we are back down in the high 40's. This weekend was just a constant light mist/drizzle - which made Tyler's soccer game depressing. But we survived, and he had fun, which is the most important part.


I started more seeds, cleaned my sewing/computer room, and am plugging away.


Last year around this rock, there were so many daylillies you could barely see the rock. So last September I dug them all up and transplanted them. I look out there today and . . .





...more daylillies. These things must never die.


Then my blackberry bushes are budding out. YIKES. We want to get them moved from here - this is our old garden, and I want to put them out in the open a little more. I guess this will be a project for Saturday or Sunday (if it's not raining:))



The cows are getting tired of mud, but so am I. They spend their days hanging out in the shed, or back behind it on the hill. No babies yet - but I'm not too worried about the 3 that are left - this will be calves 8 (for 2 of them) and 9 for the other one, so . . . . if they can't pop them out we have a problem here.

All in all, if the weather holds, we will have a busy week. Todd was home early tonight (6:00) but if there is no rain, it will be 9-10 before he gets home the rest of the week.

I'm off to help him attempt to rototill the garden (weed patch:))

Our cows gaze longingly out at the main pasture, away from the mud. (Come to think of it, so do I :)
But the grass is only just beginning to take on a hint of green here.
