Sunday/Monday
Jun. 30th, 2014 01:48 pmSunday:
Finished planting Iris and most of the Daffodils. Decided what space I have left in the area I cleared I want to save for moving some Iris that I plunked down by the north door when we moved, and there they are still. Iris are pretty tough, as long as you don't drown them.
Dug out an area by the new rhubarb -- this is near the brook area, and quite chock full of stones about 1-3" below the surface. Also some oddments. Last time I was digging down there, I found a pale green plastic hairbrush...yesterday I found a rusted-over door latch, the back of an alarm clock, and a large serving spoon. L is trying to recover the door latch, the clock back will likely go into metal recycling, and the spoon is quite serviceable.
Planted a few fiddlehead ferns.
***
Made Waldorf salad, with soy-free mayo, sans nuts. That's how I make it for family gatherings because my MIL can't have nuts, niece E is allergic to soy, so we're used to it.
***
We have confirmation from the apple trees on how we should orient the grove. L had suggested a spot near where we'd been considering, but we were still meditating on some of the details. North gate has been offered. Now we're just waiting on a clear night, to get the directions properly sited.
***
Uh, some other stuff happened too, but I'm too tired to remember.
Monday:
More laundry hung up -- I don't have a large set-up, so laundry happens most sunny days.
Pot of Sweet William and Daffodils and one Motherwort now planted by the rhubarb.
The Waldorf Salad is pretty tasty; next time I might sprinkle sliced almonds on top just before serving, but it's all gone now, so next time...
Hm. Going to go look about outside, and see what I have the energy to work on next.
