Nature is a good pruner

When we got to the island with the airboat there was still snow and many big branches strewn across the ground. Mr. Love raised the cottage and fished while I trecked around the island with a shovel and a bucket, transplanting little pine trees that would otherwise die as soon as the water levels came up. I also got to prep my beds and add Potassium to my surprisingly Alcalin soil. With all the pine trees, I was sure I was dealing with an acidic ph. But hey that is good. Also, I finally believe I have a good idea where all my plants are going to go... for that I'm gonna need a lot more earth. ;)

Tipititop the Peregrins are back and so are the Squirrels and Chipmunk.  I feel more adventurous now that my back is getting better. Of course some movements are straining but it's nice to tie in my renewed sense of activity with physical therapy. This way I can be set straight and fluid ready to start working out again... and hopefully get to do the long awaited pile of laundry.

The Cucs and Sun Flowers seedlings are getting big already. We won't go back until 2 weekends. I hope I don't lose any on the trip up. I'll just have to put together the cold frame and hope they don't get too big.

I miss my little black car. Implementing a workflow software at the office is exciting. Now that I received my Vitamix, I'm putting together recipes for next week's juicing and pure cleanse.
