date morning

Despite the fact that Brian and I are always together due to work, it seems like we never get to do anything fun. So, we’re jumping on the “date night” bandwagon and are trying to schedule some non-work related activities into our lives. The first of these happened Saturday morning, when we went to a muzzleloading gun show at Old Bedford Village.

Date night has only one rule, and that is no talking about work. And, it doesn’t have to happen at night (hey, we’re old and tired by 10pm). We were fairly successful at this on our first attempt.

quick project

Our office kitchen had a long table in it. We had printers and other office-related things on it. The table was made of plastic and started to bow over time. To remedy this, we bought a couple of base kitchen cabinets and got them assembled and installed over the weekend. Only the trim remains for the project (isn’t that always the case?). Unfortunately, since so much time has passed since we originally did the kitchen, we were not able to get matching cabinets or countertop. Still, the new stuff doesn’t look bad and it’s in the same vein as the originals.

back in business

I was notified that my sidecar was ready to be picked up today, so Brian and I took a trip to Salix to get it. I had it painted at Gary’s Custom Painting and they did a great job! I can’t believe how good it looks. Now, I just need a nice day so I can put it back on the frame.

garden kick off

It was kind of nice this week, so I got a few things planted in the garden–namely, peas and onions. There’s a lot of work to do out there as the warm winter didn’t do much to kill off the weeds. But, I guess that’s going to have to wait for a bit as the near term forecast doesn’t look all that great.

I started planting stuff inside, too, and will be doing more of that in the coming weeks. So far, just peppers and fennel, but I’m due to plant tomatoes this weekend. Spring is here!

bad start

It’s still only March and the gardening season is already off to a bad start. I was outside the other day and saw that most of my garlic didn’t make it through the winter. I’m actually blaming the mild temperatures on this one as they grew a lot more than they should have over the winter. I think the blizzard did them in as the tops were rotted. This is a big disappointment.
