Yes
it is. Time for me to start getting things together for the annual
ride of Rancheros Visitadores. This year it happens on May 1st
for me when I go over the mountain to mow the spot where we park our
RV’s and work for the next 10 days.
I
have been working on possible menus based on a food list I turned in
a few weeks ago. I only have 3 of us to cook for but I still need to
do some planning to make it all work.
I
also need to replace the batteries in my truck. Two are required
because it is a diesel. The last time I had the truck serviced they
cautioned me that the batteries at 7 years old were beginning to
fail. The last thing I want is to have dead batteries while on the
road.
I
purchased two new batteries at Costco today for $99 each and gulped
at the price but spread over 7 years I guess that’s not to bad.
So
what else have I been doing you might ask? Well, I am still pulling
weeds but not everyday as I am down to a few small areas in the yard.
However, the ground is starting to dry out so the weeds are harder to
pull but I need to get them out before they go to seed. Why don’t I
just use a weed killer like Roundup you might ask? Well, I have a lot
of small lizards running around the yard and I don’t want to kill
them so I pull the weeds.
I
also planted a small garden area. Even with our water shortage I
decided that a few fresh vegetables are worth the extra water. I
planted zucchini, yellow squash, a couple of tomato plants and
cucumbers. Yet to be planted are some pole beans. We love fresh
beans.
My
boysenberries are starting to bloom so I have lots of bees working
the blossoms right now. Hopefully we will get a nice crop of berries.
Clyda makes jelly and syrup from what we get and maybe a few cobblers
also.
Clyda
is still doing physical therapy at least one day a week at the clinic
plus walking and lots of exercises at home. She is doing well. Time
will help complete the her healing.
