another week passes...
Sep. 12th, 2025 10:46 amthree things version
garden - cleared the grass & chicory out of the overgrown bed where I want to put the hardy hibiscus that we missed in the spring; today I need to go out with a fork and get more of the roots out (and annoy the ant colony that's set up camp there). Watered the helianthus (perennial "sunflower") in the new bed. Today I need to go water the painted nettle that I'm going to move tomorrow, and water the space where it's going. We've had very little rain since early August, so things are very dry. Should also plan on moving the strawberries this weekend, but they also need to be watered before I move them
bands - two rehearsals this week. LCCB is in a different location for now (the space we usually use is under renovation), and it's very different. It's much smaller, the access is less good, and there is a building problem with the lighting, such that there's very little light in the room. During the school day, it's not such an issue, as there's windows around three sides of the room, but at night it's very dark. Apparently, people are complaining about the space. Bad Form, people, Bad Form. Yes, it's not what we usually have, but it's what we've got. *you* find somewhere for the band to rehearse. Farmington is in the usual place. BM, YA, and I made up a new layout last week. The bass clarinet player has been wondering if we could set up so that zie can hear the bsaxes better, so we tried something new. Worst case, Maestro hates it and has us change it back. unfortunately, it now means that I'm in the middle of the band which will make getting to my seat harder.
work - BC is discovering how much election work DC did. Ballots should be in next week, so I get to build a test deck/spreadsheet so that we can do the accuracy test before we send ballots out. And start stuffing envelopes. We did get the ballot mailing envelopes - ordered a *lot*, because they're not gonna change and they'll only get more expensive and we know there's at least two elections next year.
