WE'RE GETTING SATELLITE TV!!

Andy finally broke down and ordered satellite TV. He wanted all the holes put in and wires run before we paint any of the bedrooms, so it is being installed today.

This past Saturday we worked on laying out the vegetable garden up by the barn wellhouse. Andy put up boards, then tilled in some manure, and then leveled the ground. I have a compost pile started, so by planting time we should have some good organics to mix in. I bought seed potatoes, red onions, and garlic to plant, even though it is still early -- best to buy them when the stores have good stock on hand. I have also bought a couple of blueberry plants and rasberry plants and have scoped out what I think is a good sunny place to plant them south of the house.

The weather today is sunny and warm -- will hit 68 degrees -- but its very windy. We had a power outage overnight, but the electricity was back on by 8:30 a.m. An electrical outage affects us more seriously here in an all-electric home, because it affects the water pump from the well-- so we not only don't have light, but also no water when the electricity is out!
