Jim,

Yep starting to get quite pleasant for the morning walks. Starting to get antsy for spring gardening what you got on the planning to do list garden wise this year?

Just waiting for a nursery to come online with the 2021 catalogue-seems that they're doing inventory and things are delayed. I have a trip there in the spring 800km round trip-with a trailer to be picking up trees for friends and the 120 4yr old blueberry bushes in 3 gallon pots. They don't ship the larger pots-only bare root stock. Now I need to find an enclosed trailer near me so I can do this drive one fine day when the shovel can be put into the ground time.
Besides that Bill it seems almost stressful thinking about doing the gardens when there's other priority irons in the fire.

More than likely I'll plant more to supplement the chickens this coming winter as they go through bags of feed like a hour glass.
I was thinking of using the 3 gallon pots I get from the blueberries to plant kale in, then when winter hits I can move them in doors then just put one at a time in the barn for them to ravage.

We'll do the lettuce and daily greens in the small garden by the house. Then it will a thought process what to put in the berry patch area and what to put in the main garden.
The rows in the berry patch are 160ft long (leaves a 20Ft buffer on the ends for mowing) so the pumpkins and squash will go in one of the end rows where they can run wild. (rows are 20ft apart)

Bill I'm a 11 o'clock start type guy-if I have to complete it by noon. I plan it, work it out different ways-then in the last hour I just do it.

I was in marriage counselling and was asked:

"She says you never buy her flowers?"

Tell you the truth counsellor, I never knew she sold flowers....

I woulda said, "No....I prefer daisies. They don't hurt as much when she throws them at me."

On the menu tonight smoked salmon on a bagel with cream cheese. I put together a hearty salad and make some guacamole on the side.

Gmorn, sandhill cranes are showing up. They are in the dinosaur fossil record. I heard them all night. They do there mating dance ritual here. If there are ten, there are ten thousand, lots and lots. Long and lean, light grey, with stick legs and a couple red feathers slicked back over there heads. They face off than spread wings, bend or bow to one another than spring up in air 3-4 feet. Over and over, the whole field will be all hot and bothered, so to speak. They have a funny call too. Say “hot coco” now leave out the “ hot” and the first “co”, roll that second “co” around in back of throat, lots of tremolo, a rolling cluck. They can really ride the wind current, before long the sky will be full of them circling around and around from just taking off to about as high as you can see. Nebraska is about the only state without a hunting season. They don’t eat that great anyways. Have a great weekend!

Good morning Rook, ARC, Jim and Fat.

The signs the spring is on the horizon Fat. I can see how some dances came from the SandHill mating rituals.

Query: Why would you be interested in a machine that can't see a quarter at 4" unless you remove 4-5 nails from a foot around it, before it would pick it up?
Or have I read that review wrong?

If that was correct-it would exclude just about every home site that has the concentration of iron.
Just off the top of my head I can think of many sites where I have dug out many nails out of the same hole as the keeper, yet the machine still punches through the mask of iron.
Just my early brain not yet on #2 nectar.....
