jennlkIt's still too dry to weed -- the weeds break off at ground level. I can cut back things, so that's what I've been doing. And moving plants -- when well watered before and after moving, they do OK. I thought I'd gotten the painted nettle moved, but when I cleared out the dead stems of perennials in that bed, I found another clump lurking. So now that one's moved to the other side of the front door where it will be seen. My mother sent me "a plant" for my birthday (a gift card to Lowe's), so I'll be going there this weekend to see what they have that I want. And if there's nothing there now, I can wait 'til spring.
Ballots have started coming in. The database was being very slow yesterday, so it took about 3 times longer than it should have to get the ballots accepted there. (ACK! I just realised I've been missing a step in the 'in-house' tracking. I can catch up quickly, as it's still early.) BC did the first run of staffing phone calls yesterday while I was fighting the database and then prepping for Saturday's shred party. There's three elections worth of stuff that can be shredded, but it all had to be unbagged, and there are a few things that need to be held longer that needed to be separated.
I did a dumb thing Monday at rehearsal, and left a part of my sax in my Farmington music bag (where I had left it after Sunday's concert...). I got to rehearsal on Tuesday, and didn't have all the bits I needed! Fortunately, we're rehearsing in a middle school bandroom *with* the director of that middle school band. I begged the use of a BariSax for the evening (apologizing for making him work!), and played a dented 1980s Bundy for the night. It was fine. Some people noticed that the sound wasn't as good.
Sunday's FCB concert went quite well, for a parking lot concert. Weather was terrific, if a bit warm. A smaller than usual audience was appreciative. (It's been so warm that people are not thinking "oh, this'd be a good day to go to the cider mill".) I was very tired when I got home.
OH! Go Get 'Em Tigers! (whew!)
