May 2nd Ramblings

This afternoon I found myself at home ... with no one else home.   Jillian was still out with Chris.   Jonathan had gone golfing and I had just driven Jacob to John's house to work on a project.

I didn't have anywhere to go in particular but ended up at Home Depot because I remember seeing some beautiful hanging baskets ... but that was in either the north end of Calgary or in Edmonton.    Well there weren't any nice hanging baskets there today ... too bad.   But I did have a look around and bought some coconut husk  mulch that I had read about in a gardening magazine (I think).   It's good for the environment and I'll use it like peat moss ... peat moss depletes the peat bogs and that isn't good.    So I'll see how this works out.   I also bought 2 tomato plants.  I have to say that smelling all the plants at the HD greenhouse put in a really good mood.   I could have stayed and smelled the air all afternoon.

Once I got home I grabbed the ladder and went of the search for my little green house.  And I did find it.    I was worried I wouldn't find it but there it was in the rafters.    I set it up.   It wasn't an easy task but I figured it out okay after a little swearing, etc.   So now my little tomato plants are inside and so is the tray of seeds I planted a while ago.

And about those seeds.    When we had the crazy wind a few days ago the whole seed tray was blown off the planter and ended up on it's side half dumped out.    To say I was disappointed is an understatement.   I scooped up what I could and haven't seen much growth at all ... so I figure most of the seeds were lost.     Bummer.   I wish I would have had my little greenhouse set up earlier then this wouldn't have happened. 

Then I went to work this evening.    I didn't have the best evening ... it was sort of stressful.  I worked with Margot and Irene at the FMC/ACH site.    Yvonne, Sherry and Jodie were at RGH/PLC.   It could have been a better night but it just wasn't much fun at all and the time just dragged and dragged.   I'm working tomorrow morning over at FMC/ACH and I'm dreading it already ... gosh I dislike that site with a passion!!
