A Day at the Office
Mar. 22nd, 2009 03:24 pmIn which I am reminded that March is schizophrenic.
Got here this morning, a bright, sunny day, if a bit chilly. Headed straight up to the greenhouse before the hill had a chance to thaw and turn into a mudslide. Made my way to the back, where the potting table is, and saw a dark shape fall from the ceiling...? strange... Somehow my brain translated it into "bird", which it was. A little sparrow, probably flew in yesterday afternoon, and ended up spending the night. I knew there was no chance of catching it, so I opened up the upper windows and small doors, and eventually it found its way out.
Plants plants plants for many many hours... I wear gloves now to protect my hands when I mix soil and fill pots; the soil-expander water-holder stuff we use destroys my nails, and is generally icky.
Sun went away, and high winds picked up about an hour ago, and a look outside revealed a minor blizzard passing by... Bah. All over and done in 15-20 minutes, I think. I just had to listen to the snapping of the poly on the outside of the greenhouse as the wind took it. Sunny again now. Fluffy white clouds sprinkled here and there...
We have daffodils coming up just outside the office, and my mechanic has tulips poking through the mulch on Wednesday. Spring is officially here. :)
