The weather was lovely. It was about 16*. Very sunny. Slightly blowy.
We Skyped Grandma and Grandad and Moo this morning. The weather there is rubbish. Lots of rain, flooding, cold. Moo has put the heating on all day - so it must be cold.
Huffle finished his raised beds. We deliberated long and hard over where they were going and finally decided on a nice sunny spot. We started digging and removing the grass.
We found lots and lots of metal strips and wires. We have no idea what it was we found. The boys were hoping it was a treasure chest but it wasn't!
We planted one of our forsythias, the trilliums are under the trees and one is even flowering. I am hoping I haven't put it where the football is always kicked. We planted our new Comfrey, near the raised beds and the compost bin.
Huffle's new grasses went in.
Our clematis to climb over the barn (whoops there is another dandelion, will get Smallest to pick that tomorrow).
The boys earnt some money. Small did some digging and Smallest picked the Dandelions. We told him he could have 1c per flower (to stop them spreading). He picked 28.The soil was drying out so quickly. Once we have filled it we are planting peas here. We have placed the other bed and covered it over to kill the grass. We are hoping that will be easier.
More football was played. Lots of fighting happened today until we got to the point where we had to split the boys up again. Smallest has been particularly bad tempered.
Both have now had showers. I am off to have mine - got to be clean for my new job tomorrow!
