A TIME TO PLANT

All is well here, having fun and getting plenty of exercise.  The days are mostly sunny now and getting up to 20 in the afternoons but down to 5 to 7 degrees at night.  Spring is on the way!!

Not many projects left to do for this year.  We built a box with a lid to cover the water pipes coming up from the ground.  This will protect them from the sun and the frost as well as looking tidier.

We’ve been on the lookout for cactus cuttings to plant in a couple of areas of our lot and picked up 4 of them from a maintenance worker at the dumpsters.  We had to leave them for 2 weeks to “heal” over the cut ends and then planted them about a foot deep in the ground.  It will take a while to determine if they are putting out roots, might have to wait until the fall to see what’s happening.

We have friends from home coming for a short visit and then back to the routine.  Won’t be long before the go to our Grand Forks home countdown begins!
