Well hello there. It's Sunday. It's morning. It's time for an update. This week was a busy one for me and I am understandably both tired and sore.
I spent a lot of time this week on the deck garden. Last Sunday, due to critter carnage, I moved the entire garden worth of pots inside. About half of the pots went into the garage and the other half went into the sunroom. The potato pots are huge, so we're talking probably 30-40 pounds each, but I did it. (Hubs' back is toast right now, so I've been doing stuff myself rather than have him lift and carry.) I also thinned the carrots.
My new greenhouse arrived. It's a beaut. Not a large enclosure at roughly 5x5x6.5, but large enough. Hubs helped me put that sucker together on Friday and I populated it with all the plants that can handle full sun. Not that the deck gets a whole lot of full sun, but enough that it would probably kill my redbuds. Then to further discourage the critter, I put blocks all the way around it - each block sitting on the edge of the plastic greenhouse cover. This will also give the greenhouse some stability in the wind, so yay. The three mornings since I put the greenhouse together have been carnage free, so yay to that, too. (I haven't taken any pics yet, so if you want to see the greenhouse I bought, click the link. It's still on sale as of this morning, if you want one, too.)
When I ordered the greenhouse, I also ordered a game camera. That arrived on Friday, but I haven't put it out yet. I did set it up and managed to take several pictures of my hands. It's not the wifi kind, so I'll have to take it down and plug it into the computer if I want to see the pics, but I'm okay with that.
I've been feeding the deer all week, so Hubs can rest his back. The deer are getting fat pregnant. I always feel so bad for them, waddling around the yard. Judging by the size of their bellies, they might drop fawns earlier this year. We'll see.
Friday, I went grocery shopping. Wallyworld was a zoo. Anyway, while I was there, they had a bunch of beef marked down, so I ended up getting a London Broil. I'd never cooked one of those, but it was cheap and cheap beef is hard to find. I took half of that and threw it in the crockpot with spaghetti sauce and mushrooms, and we had my version of steak pizziola last night for dinner. Yummers.
I did some marketing this week. Not a huge amount of books moved, but eh, it's better than nothing. The start of a new month makes my KDP dashboard look so depressing with it zeroes across the board. Having numbers there, even if they're small, helps. Not sure what will be on the Marketing Monday rota tomorrow.
And since I started this over an hour ago and it's been sitting here forgotten as I scroll through X and FB, I think I'm probably done. Have a great day and a wonderful week. :hugs:
