altivoWell, theoretically. Left work late, nearly 1 pm. Drove to Marengo to deposit my paycheck from last week that I've been carrying around since Monday with no opportunity to get rid of it. Once again the gas station next to the bank had the lowest price I've seen anywhere in more than a week or two: $3.99. Harvard stations are at $4.19. This time, however, I remembered to go on to the bank after filling the tank. Remembered to transfer money to the farm account too so that the cost of a month's worth of Simon's arthritis medicine will be covered. $81 for 60 pills. Gah! But if it makes him feel better, I can pay it.
It was sunny today. A tiny miracle. The sun lasted from sunrise to almost sunset before the clouds moved in. Tess got to go out for an hour while I cleaned stalls. Gary got to take Red for a long walk in the pastures, complete with distractions from the piles of apples Tess just left out there. ;P
A month ago I ordered some compact blueberry bushes that are supposed to do well in containers. It so happens that we have three large, fairly nice terra cotta colored containers that our neighbor gave us before she moved out (to be replaced by the uncouth Brits.) Gary planted the three bushes in the containers, and we can give one to his mom for her birthday. To my surprise, these dwarf bushes may even produce a few berries the first year. They have flower buds just starting to open.
Gary had to sing in church tonight of course, so dinner was delayed but everyone survived the wait. I tend to think of holy week as hellish week now, what with all the church services he has to do. Every day now through Monday, though Saturday is the really long one.
Possible rain tonight, more rain tomorrow, about ten minutes of sunshine on Saturday then more rain, with thunderstorms (possibly severe) on Saturday night and Sunday. Great entertainment if you can just stay indoors. Not so nice when there are animals needing care and garden chores piling up. Bah, humbug, I say.
