The time change has made our schedule more normal--now we are going to bed about 10 and waking up about 6. Last night, I went out and looked at the plants after supper, while it was still light. It is raining already this morning, which will be great for them. And give my sore shoulders a break. Potatoes, beets, radishes, chard are just coming up. Other things are growing so well--enough rain and warm sun--that you can practically see their progress from one day to the next. When I am not working in the garden, I am re-reading gardening books and thinking about the chores that need to be done next.

Yesterday morning, I got 7 eggs from Nancy's chickens in addition to my 3. Gave them fresh water and some more food. Let mine out for a while in the morning while I was clearing a patch to transplant the onions into.

After lunch (the last of the Gypsy Soup), we headed to town. I was scheduled to meet with Heather at 1. We talked about the bike ride fundraiser and I did some work on that. I need to go by the Georgia Cycle Shop and talk to a man there to get some questions answered. The registration info sheet and form are ready to distribute. Ray picked me up again before 5 and we went home, opened the windows, let the chickens out, enjoyed the evening.

Made omelettes, using 4 of Nancy's eggs--bright orange and tasty--and some bits of broccoli from the side shoots of the wintered-over plants, plus onions and mushrooms. Ate them with leftover rice. I love to feel like I am using every little bit of food we have left hanging around.

For some reason, our satellite company, DISH Network, said we got a year of STARZ free as a good customer bonus. No catch, they'll even turn it off at the end of a year. Last night, we saw the new Alice in Wonderland, no commercials. It was quite fun. And I stayed awake until it was over.
