May 2022

 May finally started to warm up ever so slightly, and we got our spring rains, (if wasn't much, about 1/2 of our normal rainfall).

Dave and I got the garden beds plowed, and we amended the soil.  But we still let it set for a couple more weeks, (it was still to cold to plant, and we even got a couple of small skiffs of snow), then the 3rd week, we starting planting.  This year, I had to fight off the birds.  I would plant seeds and the next day I would have to chase the birds out of the garden, (they were picking the seeds out of the ground and eating them).  I replanted 3 times. It was still rather cold, so the seeds took much longer to germinate.  I didn't put my tomato starts in the ground for another 4 weeks. 

The 20th, I had to serve on Jury duty.  I spent 5 hours on line with answering questions to attorneys and the judge, then we let go at the end of voir dire.  Afterwards I looked up on line what the case was about - it would have been pretty interesting.  A couple was sueing the company and the owners for poor installation and construction of the garage and driveway, and the special rubber like covering they ordered to make the garage easy to clean.  Dave and I are still working at Honey Bake Ham and I've surprised them that I don't use the recipe cards to make the different salads.  The customers comment on how good the salads are.  We enjoy seeing people and talking to them.  It's nice to get our of the house, but a little exhausting with our other chores.

Here's hoping all our friends and family enjoy the upcomming summer.
