60F and "Fair" @ 21:30, heading down to 49F in the overnight.
Was an absolutely beautiful day here today, high hit 77F.
Started off with taking the Cub and dump cart full of weeds The Woman had pulled up to the compost pile.
Once that was done loaded up all plants and moved those around back. Woman helped load and unload.
Then moved full Water Buffalo up to northwest of the house so it would be in the shade.
After that I took the Cub and dump cart back up to the front of the house and got the Kubota and went up and got a bucket of screened compost and brought down.
Eventually put about half the bucket in the dump cart and mixed peat moss into it, then took it around back. This is for The Woman's Dahlia's ...
After that I ran down to HFT to get sprayer. Decided to get the larger 2 gallon sprayer as it was only a couple $ more.
Stopped and got 5 gallons of diesel for the Kubota and 3 1/2 gallons of gas for the Cub. Refueled both when I got back.
Was going to stop by DG on way back and grab a mesh strainer but I forgot.
Squash and pumpkin seeds from Eden Brothers were in the mail box when I checked it on the way back in.
Noticed Rib Man was back again on way out and informed Woman when I got home. She didn't have any plans for dinner so She was game and headed out to get a slab. Had a couple of those and Her macaroni salad for dinner.
Amazon had dropped off exhaust adapters. Will be heading up to the shop in a few to check out how those fit on the HF weed burner torch.
While She was out getting the ribs I started mowing the front yard, was over half done by the time She got back. She brought back iced Butter Pecan coffees from Dunkin' ...
Finished the front up before I came inside for dinner:
After dinner I emptied the screened compost out of the bucket which was half full into a tote and around a peach tree and one shrub.
Then I headed up with the Kubota and screened some more compost, probably got another 8 - 10 buckets of screened material added to the pile.
Pic from earlier in the day:
Came back down to the house as I realized I hadn't put out any mealworms for the bluebirds.
After filling the feeder with 15 mealworms I checked the nest box and there was only one bluebird in it ... so I assume the other four fledged:
I first discovered the eggs on April 29th. Today was the 16th day since I discovered the eggs had hatched and took a picture (back on May 5th)
Typical time to fledge after hatching is 16 - 22 days.
After that I decided to head back down to Dollar General and see about that mesh strainer. Checked their website before I headed off and it showed that they were out of the 6" strainer I was wanting. Got there and they had it in stock ...
Visited some with neighbor who was out walking her dogs when I got back. Her son - the one who had his femur removed - is doing very well. He's home and actually walking around with a walker. Pretty amazing.
Once she left I finished up some weed walking The Woman had started and started putting things away.
Last thing I did before closing the garage door was mix up a bucket of screened compost and peat moss so I can get some of those squash and pumpkin seeds planted later tonight.
Overall a reasonably productive day.
Hope everyone had a good day ...
