I had my optometry appointment today and ordered new glasses.

It stopped raining long enough we could get the yard mowed and some trees trimmed.
 

April 11, 2026

We bought our seed potatoes today- russet, yukon gold, and red chieftain.

April 9, 2026

I'm using a calender to plan out what needs to be planted each week.
 

April 8, 2026

The yard will need mowed soon.
 

April 7, 2026

Grocery shopping.

April 5, 2026

Some of the candy that's left.
 

April 4, 2026

Got the greenhouse set up.
 

April 3, 2026

The bigger plants in this tray are cabbage, kale, and collards.
 

April 2, 2026

The windstorm a couple weeks ago knocked down this tree and lots of branches in the woods.

Easter aisle at the grocery store.
 

March 31, 2026

My basil has huge leaves.
 

March 30, 2026

I mixed up a second batch of seed starter mix. So far the plants seem to like it, and I like that there aren't sticks, dust, and big clumps in it.
 

March 29, 2026

Got the front yard rolled. It's still rather bumpy.

Storms rolled through this evening. 
 

March 25, 2026

My basil is growing well so far.
 

March 24, 2026

Quite a few of my daffodil flowers are bent over- I'm guessing from one of the snow storms we had.
 

March 23, 2026

I had my annual mammogram today. They had these wipes in the changing room.

March 22, 2026

I've started fives trays of herbs and flowers so far.
 

March 21, 2026

We went out to eat this afternoon.
 

March 20, 2026

My husband is interested in learning blacksmithing and is making a knife.
 

March 19, 2026

 

March 18, 2026

Should have daffodils soon.

March 16, 2026

We washed cars yesterday because it was warm. Today it's cold again.
 

March 15, 2026

The snow drops I dug up from mom's is blooming.
 

March 14, 2026

Our maple syrup harvest this year. I lined them up in batches, first on the left and last on the right.
 

March 13, 2026

It's been very windy today. It knocked down a bird feeder. It looked fuzzy outside for a bit, we think it was dust blowing in from somewhere. And now our west-facing windows are extremely dirty.
 

March 12, 2026

Some of the seeds I ordered. Hopefully I will lots of flowers this summer.
 

March 11, 2026

Tractor Supply has peeps. They don't just look cute, they sound cute too.
 

March 10, 2026

We pulled the taps today. It's gotten warm and the sap was spoiled (and had lots of bugs). We've got enough syrup for a couple years, though, so it's been a good year.
 

March 9, 2026

The yard is turning green. 
 

March 8, 2026

The garlic is coming up nicely.
 

March 7, 2026

We're still making syrup. This was about 20 some gallons of sap.
 

March 6, 2026

 

March 5, 2026

I got more boiling done today- this was 14 gallons of sap and ended up with 2.5 pints of syrup.
 

March 4, 2026

We filled up our containers and had to make a second trip. 
 

March 3, 2026

Both the female and male red-bellied woodpeckers showed up today.
 

March 2, 2026

Two of the bottles I got yesterday. The syrup is still a nice golden color.
 

March 1, 2026

Boiling sap makes a lot of dirty dishes.
 

February 28, 2026

Today seems to have been the prime day for sap production. We got quite a lot and filled the 4 new 7 gallon containers we bought, and then some.
 

February 27, 2026

My son and husband have been 3D printing a robot that will be about 36" tall. It has a lot of pieces.
 

February 26, 2026

Today we got about as much sap as yesterday. We're running out of stuff to store it into. We also got a tractor out, with brand new chains for the back tires.
 

February 25, 2026

We gathered sap today. We got about 15 gallons of sap, and there will be more for the weekend boiling.
 

February 24, 2026

We went shopping. I like to park far from other people.
