“Remoted – Hybrid” – Day 741 (Sunday) – spring

Spring planting to plan.

The first day of spring had some of the best features of spring – like sunshine and blue skies. The sunshine inspired this year’s first opening of the sun roof during the drive from dance class. A stop at Family Dollar for trash bags yielded a bonus planter of lavender seeds and a bag of hollyhock bulbs. 

The map on the hollyhock says to plant from April to June. Knowing the wild mood swings of New England weather which have included a snow day school cancellation in May when I was in high school and the heartache of planting things too early, there will be a wait until at least the middle of the recommended timeframe. The lavender packaging hasn’t been explored for the instructions yet, but it's a planter that can be started indoors.

There were efforts to be out in the yard during the afternoon, but by the time I went outside to harvest the ever-replenishing poop, it was breezy and the wind kept delivering a face full of hair. Tossing the hair out of my face was not effective. I was too lazy to go inside for a hair elastic. I was cold. The poop harvest went as quickly as possible to get back inside.

It’s a miracle I don’t have whiplash from all the hair tossing. In addition to the wind related tossing, there is the constant tossing of the bangs out of my eyes all day for the six or seven weeks when they are suddenly too long be fore my next scheduled hair salon appointment.

While inside, Winston slept and I watched hours of programming. After something on Apple, it was over to Netflix for show titles that are already forgotten that rolled into Bad Vegan which rolled into Gilmore Girls until it is blessedly time for bed, where hours will likely be spent searching for articles about flower bed preparation.
