I wonder if that’s why I haven’t seen any orioles? My friend, Jeri, has had them for three days now and she lives 2\u00bd miles north of us. I freshened up my oranges, mixed new “juice,” but no orange birds. Boo hoo. Maybe tomorrow? We do have rose-breasted grosbeaks and goldfinches though and that’s a plus. I even saw a hummingbird zip by today.<\/p>\n

I’m sure when our weather breaks it will be suddenly summer with hot temperatures to contend with. It’s the way it usually goes.<\/p>\n

Will’s been working on the barn and digging a ditch for a drainage pipe from our washer and rinse tub to go underground so the graywater won’t flow against our rock wall and under the house. Yesterday I got the wrong fittings and had to go back this morning for 45 degree elbows … not 90s. Oops! We dug the ditch with the handy furrow plow that Will made last year. I man the four wheeler, pulling the plow, and Will holds it in place. Our four wheeler is old and has no brakes and runs roughly. So it’s a picnic trying to go fast enough downhill to dig yet slow enough that I don’t run away with him. And we had to make many trips down the strip, making the furrow deeper and deeper. It’s a wonder we’re still talking!<\/p>\n

Just a reminder: We still are running our little seed business and still have everything listed. If you need a list, just e-mail me and I’ll send it to you. — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
