Catching up....
Apr. 3rd, 2016 08:04 pmEaster service went pretty well. DB was indeed working, and was thus unable to sing with us. SR "couldn't find the keys" to J's car, and so did not come to church. (Mind, the keys have been in the same place for the last 20 years.)
At FCB rehearsal on Monday, I was short a couple of pieces of music -- one of the board members had borrowed them to make copies for another band that needed them, and then they forgot to bring the originals back! Fortunately, we only rehearsed one of them, and I was able to borrow a tuba part for that one.
The daffodils in the NW bed began blooming on Wednesday, so of course it snowed. We got about 3inches yesterday/last night, and while the precipitation from the next clipper is going to miss us, we're still going to get the cold weather, so I don't know how well they're going to do. I have a daffodil (from our church) and DB brought home an Easter lily that I will need to find places for in the garden, but not until after this round of cold weather is done. I don't plan on keeping them in pots in the garage until June, but I also don't want to plant them when they're still predicting 20F(-7C) lows. The mixed small bulbs in the side garden are blooming despite the snow and cold. The peonies are just poking through, while the bleeding hearts are springing up. I really need to move a couple of the volunteers, as they're getting big enough to shift the stones defining the bed.
Some critter, I suspect raccoon or cranky woodchuck, ripped one of the flip-down perches off the suet feeder. That's a minor problem. The bigger problem is that it also broke the closing/hanging chain, so I need to fix that before I can put it back out.
J brought me a double barrelled compost tumbler. I will like that much better than the pile that needs to be turned.
