jennlknot very hard right now, but they tell us that it will continue for the next 12 hours or so. OTOH, it really hasn't rained since last week, and J and his band of helpers got the shed framed and sheathed before the rain started. This weekend, we get to shingle and paint and wait for it to settle enough to put the floor down.
I have ushered two UMS concerts since I last wrote -- a string quartet concert at Rackham Auditorium, and a solo pianist at Hill Auditorium, both very good. Now the UMS season is done. I missed most of the spring concerts due to my own performance schedule. The one concert that I was available to usher was cancelled by the performers. (OK, there were some shows that I had little-to-no interest in, and they'd have to actually pay me to usher.)
I have been working in the garden the last few days, and my right thumb hurts halfway up the forearm. I know why, and I also know that there's nothing to be done for it, other than to not weed. Which really isn't an option.
The neighbor's chickens have been wallowing in my strawberry bed. As long as that's all they do, and they continue to do it at the end where the plants died over the winter, I guess I'm OK with it. The chickens aren't supposed to get out, but they have three kids under 10, and one or more of them cannot/cannot remember to latch the chicken door.
