    Mesclun – 1st haircut

    Friday morning was very busy. I got my post up, prepped for freezing the chicken stock, got chores and breakfast done and got a shower, made my lunch, and got the milk order in. I even got the dishwasher unloaded before my ride to exercise class came at 9:10AM.

    While I was doing that, my general helper had arrived at 8AM and she packed up the chicken stock, washed up the roaster, and gave the mesclun its first haircut. I took half of the haircut with me as part of my lunch.

    Walla Walla onions are finally up and doing well

    She was going to feed the seedlings, and then do some housecleaning, mostly vacuuming cobwebs.

    After class I read until it was time for the lunch. After lunch there were 3 TED talks:

    Cloud Appreciation Society
    My journey to thank all the people responsible for my morning coffee
    Why we laugh

    I had seen the Laughter one before, and the other 2 were pretty cool. Lots of unusual clouds and an interesting tour of his gratitude for coffee. I was home by 1PM.

    This is what the kitchen looked like. I took one look and said “I’ll deal with it tomorrow” and went and took a nap.

    It had gotten cloudy and was getting colder so the only thing I did was keep the stoves going.

    On Saturday it’s to rain all day and be cold. I hope to get a large chunk of the filing done in the office. I’m really sick of the mess. My brother and I plan to make some sort of soup or chowder from the remaining asparagus. And I have to clean up the kitchen.
