Beaver:
Today it RAINED! At least an inch. Before it started, I re-weeded the strawberry beds and, in between deluges, The blueberry bed. Larry visited yesterday and talked about feeding the beds, and found them very dry! No way I can do a gray water system (R could but no time)so I will use a basin in the sink and carry water out to the beds. I did not realize the soil was so dry. And, of course, the weeds were taking up some of the available water.
Still no repair of floor in kiln room and it is feeling essential as I would like to get back to visit with R. The pots are dry; time to get firing. Tried plan B (with extension cord R made) and may have blown a fuse and cannot get the box open. Will try again tomorrow. Looking for a solution!
Couple hot days ahead. Will open house in a bit to cool night air; get it as cool as possible then close it up in the morning before it starts to warm. Realize that I can do that - leave the doors open - out here on this dead end road with no traffic. Just hook the screen doors. No worries! Wish I could in QC.
Our very healthy resident wood chuck was just outside nibbling away. Got up on raised bed with no problem, not to nibble but to get a better view of who was watching him(?)!
