Weekend catch up

 Back on Friday I did a thing.  I made a delightfully awkward video of myself showing off my seedlings!


I loaded the video up on Saturday.  If you've viewed it already -- Thank you! 

This entire weekend had mostly nice weather.  Thank goodness! 

I'm looking at things in my Facebook memories over the last several years and see that it's not unusual to have snow on the ground at this time of year.  I think I'm in denial about it.  However, the area I live in usually doesn't have feet and feet of snow on the ground at this time of year.

The snow is starting to recede.  It makes my little heart happy to see patches of shingles on our roof. We've had a few snow flurry storms over the weekend and today. Not enough to stick around. 

Anywho ... enough about the snow, right? 

Saturday I had a lovely and leisurely morning.  In the afternoon we ran to town and took care of errands. 

I was cruising around Menard's and spotted their bags of onion sets, asparagus, and strawberry roots. 

Yup, you guessed it, I came home with a 10 pack of strawberry roots. I'm going to give those a try. 

Sunday I spent the morning up potting seedlings and my tomato plants.  


I used a pair of embroidery scissors for thinning, and a small pampered chef spatula for cutting the soil blocks apart.  You know, the appropriate tools for the job.  (I'm so funny)

Last week my husband picked up a second 4 shelf greenhouse for me and these plants are in there for now, until I can start having stuff outside. 

Sunday afternoon we went to a local feed store and picked up some BABIES! 

I'm mamma to 10 more cornish cross birds and 5 barred rock chicks. 


As you can hear, my Furby June was NOT happy at this invasion of *her* home. 

She caterwauled for most of four hours. 

My husband said Furby was doing her best to let us know what a horrible mistake we made. 

When I was looking at my Facebook Records I saw that *today* is the one-year anniversary of when we brought chicks home last year, and Furby was just as miffed last year. Hilarious!

I moved Furby's tote over by my husband, since she now seems to be a daddy's girl.  She still wasn't happy and continued to vocalize.

In a last ditch effort, my husband put on a song we know Furby likes. 


It did the trick. 

In the evenings this weekend I worked on my blanket. I was mindful of how fast I was crocheting and how long I was working on the blanket.  Sunday I was happily crocheting on it, thinking how I was almost done with the section I was on, and would be done with working a seven double-crochet shell.  

How disappointed I was when I realized I wasn't as far along as I thought.  I still have a whole side to go! 


After I finish this row I will have ten rows left! I haven't read ahead on the pattern so I don't know what the last bit includes. 

This weekend I discovered a new-to-me Youtube channel, and I LOVE it! It's called Sprout. It's all gardening shows. 

I also found Gardener's World on my Britbox subscription. 

Yeah, I might be a wee bit obsessed.  I'm a bit burned out on the few regular Youtube channels I've been watchings, and seeing all these beautiful gardens is hitting the spot!
