Later this morning I'm planning on a cleanup fried rice because they are cooked veggies in the fridge with bacon on the side, pot.of hot tea.

I did win 3 card games of 21 this evening.

3. Did you have much damage from the winds last Thur/Fri?

Friday is recycling pickup day & the wind blew the bin over. A plastic bag danced & swirled in front of the living room window for at least an hour to the cats fascination.

This winter has been fierce

4. The high winds from the other day

blew a lot of dead tree branches from my soft maple trees. Today I plan to get out my little tractor, and then drive around picking up tree branches. I already have a good pile of tree branches, and this will make my pile larger. Eventually I'm going to have to get my gas powered wood chipper out, and turn this pile into mulch for my garden this summer.

LOL, I can picture your cats looking out the window at a plastic bag.

5. It was the best outside cat toy ever!

6. Cats and plastic bag

I can see how that would fascinate them. It has me thinking about blowing a plastic bag around for my cat with the hairdryer.

As far as the winds go, you sure aren’t the only one. You should see my bamboo forest: so many poles were broken. It’s going to be a huge job to have them cut and pulled out of the forest. Fortunately it’s spring and people want bamboo poles for building trellises for their gardens. I will put a notice on craigslist and most of them will disappear from a stack I’ll have put at the end of the private road.

Avocado toast on 9 seed whole wheat. Cherry tomatoes with garlic, olive oil, and basil. Kombucha.

7. Those bamboo poles would be helpful

in the garden. Hammered into the ground next to my tomato cages, might keep them from blowing over.

8. The ones about an inch wide

Are good for that. I also like to use those heavy steel rods – – can’t think of the name – – because they are heavy and are more easily driven into the ground.

Tomato cages are the way to go, as opposed to mere staking.
