Between doctor’s visits, rehab, and packing seeds for folks, this week has just flown by. Will got the shelving unit built and installed on our enclosed, unheated back porch. Then he and Dara sorted through our bulk boxes, bags, and containers of seeds, placing them on appropriate shelves, getting the mess off of the floor. What an improvement!<\/p>\n

The new shelves are getting filled and look much nicer!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Although we still have a few boxes on the floor, now they’re neatly tucked under the shelving unit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Usually, habaneros and many other species of hot peppers take weeks to germinate. Mine came up in a week! Holy cow, that took us by surprise. One day nothing, and the next, several leggy seedlings peeked up at us from the flats. Will quickly got one of our plastic greenhouses down out of the storage barn loft and put it in the south-facing windows in the living room. Then we placed the flats in the top shelves, in full sun where they also get plenty of heat, both from the windows and wood stove. We still have a few which haven’t germinated, so they need to keep very warm.<\/p>\n

I was shocked to see seedling hot peppers and habaneros up in a week’s time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today, while Dara and Sherri were here, packing seeds, David called from work. Granddaughter, Delilah, had climbed up to the kitchen sink, grabbed a knife and cut her finger. He understood from what Elizabeth had said when she called him, that she’d cut her hand and there was blood everywhere! I jumped in the car (my first driving since surgery), tore over to the house, climbed two sets of stairs, and found them in the bathroom. Yes, there was quite a bit of spotty blood on the floor. But thankfully, when I took the washcloth from Elizabeth and peeked at the injury, it was her finger, not her hand. She had about an inch long cut, which was a little deep and seeping blood steadily. I took over putting pressure on the finger via the washcloth while Elizabeth got Melanie and herself ready to head for the ER when David got home. They took her in, and the cut was glued shut. A cheese stick and iPad movie and she’s much better. Thank God! Wow, what a day. Even if it was over 45 degrees out, with sun. I hardly noticed. — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
