- bathroom renovation continues, although with breaks. K is down for medical reasons, so J has been spending time with her. He took Tuesday off from work to work on the bathroom since he spent about a hour on it over the weekend. The toilet is stored in the garage, the supply plumbing for the new tub is in, the new fan timer is installed, half of the subfloor is down, the OSB backing for the tub surround is installed.
- spring flowers continue to appear. Sunday morning there were a bunch of reticulated irises blooming, surprising me as they'd been half-inch stubs Saturday morning. There's a yellow one in the bunch - one of the 'hazards' of planting mixed colors is that you're never sure what will come up. The giant crocuses in the side garden have bloomed and have already started to fade - they don't last as long as the early ones, and it's been windy. There are daffodil buds in the mass garden. I have raked branches under the willow tree three times this spring. (also raked under the cottonwoods in the side yard and the birch tree in the backyard.) I need to go pull leaves and algae blobs out of the pond before they sink. I have raked leaves out of most of the gardens. I can't do anything else in the gardens until the ground warms up further, and we get rain. We're supposed to get rain tonight. We really need it - we've gotten maybe a tenth of an inch of rain since January or so....
- heard back from the LCB section leader. They want me on bari for the summer. So I have printed out the music, and will start working on it. The director posted links to click-tracks/etc for us to 'play along' with so we can get an idea of how he wants things to go. Rehearsals start in June, outside.
