I'm entering a new decade taking on the challenge of moving from Maryland after living there 46 years and learning about my new home here in New England in the Live Free or Die state - New Hampshire. Join me as a write this new chapter of my life.

Planting

 I spent a couple of hours outside on Monday. Temperatures were conducive to yard work-I cleaned up three flower beds. 


I also started some more milk jug greenhouses with sunflowers, marigolds, cosmos, basil and a second seeding of cilantro. Of the six I started in February only one shows sprouts. Not sure which it is. 

In my raised bed I added compost and planted two kinds of snow peas and two kinds of lettuce. 

Rain in our forecast for the rest of the week but maybe next week I’ll get out again when granddaughters 3 and 4 are here. 

I’m hoping to see more sprouts once I return from travels in April. 

Today ...

 is our 52nd Wedding Anniversary. No real celebrating to be done.  I feel like the whole weekend was a celebration: Friday dinner at friends, Saturday No Kings Day and another dinner out, Sunday attending the play The Children and light supper afterward at Panera.  I think I'm making soup tonight.

There's a great article in local paper about our rally

Sharing this photo from that article.  Mandy the woman in the middle is our pastor.
