Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the Middle of a Wisconsin winter part 2

Well no roof here. Raining again. We saw a deer acting odd out in the field beyond the pasture. Walking in circles and looking lost. Turns out she was giving birth. Hopefully the fawn stays out of the hay field if we ever get around to cutting it. Looks like a lot of poor quality hay for first cutting. It's going to seed, or as my husband says it heading out. That's farmers lingo. I guess I don't need to water the garden boxes today.

The Korean lilac has been blooming. I always forget how bad that stinks. I'm not a fan of the lilac smell. Don't know why I planted one except husband likes it.

There are some huge lilacs that have been on the property much longer than I have. The smell reminds me of home: there was a beautiful lilac bush at the end of the driveway at my folks'.

Sorry no roofing is getting done. No mowing here today, either. But pretty cool about the doe and fawn.

I heard ferocious growling under the ramp a little while ago. Don't know who made the kill but while four kittens slept, the two orange ones split a mouse -- one got the head and the other got, and intended to KEEP, everything else. Tiny, cute, fuzzy killers!

The mom probably brought it back for them to practice on. Should be great mousers. Ours were well taught by their mum.

I rather suspected it was Calypso's kill.

On the other hand, I've heard Calypso growl when the youngsters try to horn in on her cat food. Maybe she'd rather toss them a little mousy and save the "good" (as in, I spend too much money on it) stuff for herself?

I didn't feel like working yesterday. but I went out to the shop anyway,. as long as I was out there, I put the guard back onto the miter saw. as long as the guard was on, I set up stop for the lengths of the slats. as long as the length was set, I might as well saw all the slats. I had only about half of the holes drilled for the bolts, so I finished the rest of the holes. the slats are all finished.
I made a batch of sloppy Joes. I actually followed the recipe. no tweaking. they turned out great.
Eye Dr,. appt at 10 AM today..
I retired two doctors. now I have a new one.
I saw her once, so far. She is not much for chit chatting like the last one was. all business.
We watched an eagle hopping around in the hay field. looked like he was trying to catch something.

Sounds like the same method I use to get things done. I tell myself I don't feel like doing much, so I will just do ONE thing. Which leads to another and another.

Trying to get outdoor work done before guests arrive Friday. Rain showers are slowing me down.

Good luck with the eye doctor. I'm overdue for an appointment.
