It's one day BEFORE my birthday :~)

and I am at work, as usual for a weekday. Waiting for my samples to hydrate so I can begin to macerate them & "get this show on the road".

I dug up the potato bed last night - yes, in the rain, but I had no choice. I HAVE to get those "guys" into the ground. I'll cut starts tonight & plant them on Thursday when I get home from work. That gives them time to dry on the cut surface and invite less "fungal friends" to the party. I can see a few peas emerging from the ground and my cole starts - in the greenhouse - need to be transplanted, so I'll take them home tonight. I'm going to have 'tP' help me put up my hoop house and get the tomatoes and peppers protected as I put them out, too. We may (or may not) get some garden goodies this year.

On the "boy am I dumb" front, I did get a note from the passport expiditers that they had my stuff and it was "in the works" - so I'm keeping my fingers crossed & doing some praying, too.

Still working on the Estelle and the SFS socks. Have not gotten the shawl blocked yet, but plan that for the weekend when I can make sure "the cat" does not find it. I also have succumbed to the "startitis" bug and cast-on a pair of those "toe-up, top-down" socks that Rue & Erin developed http://knitcents.blogspot.com/2011/04/ep-64-i-love-oly.html .

"Startitis?" Is that what you call the yen to start something new instead of finish what you've got going? I have that bad . . .

You're a much more organized gardener than I. I just hope for the best. Some years no matter how hard we try there's just not much we can do.
