transplanting the turnips

and new homeowners insurance
oye
we got a HUGE increase in our homeowners, without a claim!!!!
so, i am now looking for new homeowners insurance
i called state farm, and a friend suggested call aarp which i will do as soon as i get off the phone
meanwhile i am behind

*** it is now like 9 hours later, i have called aarp and signed up......AND got our insurance changed so we're saving 300 a year.......
i was told years and years ago that it pays to switch insurance companies every three years........and you know what, i think that is good advise.

now the mail today brought us a mosquito net for the umbrella on the deck
the new yarn i ordered
and that letter from our now FORMER insurance company
the ducks were put out late so they are going to stay out there later......
malcom is pissy
he'll have to stay pissy cause he's not getting a woman in with him

btw, tuesday night we harvested the first of the baby spinach from the garden........ it was to die for!
oh MAN was that good, now if only i remembered which variety i put out there
oye
next will be lettuces.......and it's time to plant the cuc's

this weekend we are to talk to the stone mason supply to do maintance on the deck, put in at least two new raised beds in the garden, and finish doing the mildew treatment on the front
then i will be painting ( all this in time for the RAIN that's to come this week right?)
i have the trim on the studio to do yet

now it's friday, blogger has been insane for a it.....i think since the 11th or so.
this week for me has sort of drifted by
i have been doing dishes, and a lot of research, dealing with phone calls for bernie's stress test that's coming up and then doing insurance stuff
not the least of my issues this week has been picking my next knitting project........
and i finally DID, its' called 'forget me not shawlette'
and i think i am going to do it in the dream in color starry......(flamingo pie)
i need 125 size 6 beads for it as well.......
mmmm i think i can do that no?
i expect that by the time it's time to sit in the waiting room for bernie, i will be down to the easiest part of this shawl..........and the end as well.
if i finish it before i plan on starting the matching hat
(my motto from now on is the hat is going to match the shawl/cowl/scarf so i don't look like a bag lady)

meanwhile i continue to transplant the turnips and am about to start to seed the cucumbers
i have to hill up the leeks too
oye

bernie got his mosquito netting for the umbrella......oh man...... i will have to tell you all about it another day......when i have the strength to face it
needless to say it was a great theory....... but slightly less then great in practice
can i have an OYE?

right now looking out the studio windows my world is very very green looking
that particular shade of spring green that speaks of lush rainfall, and happy plants
now THAT green i love!
but it's time for me to get the duckies in.............
so my chicklets i bid you adieu
until next time
