Sounded good to me. Instead...it's snowing. Again.</p><p>It's a good day to put yardwork on hold--actually that's not even an option since the weather gods clearly are not favoring gardeners. </p><p>Still, I can and did plan my next project. Since the chickens are no more, and there will clearly not be any more if the HOA has its way, their chicken coop can be moved out of the run and repurposed. After measuring it, I found it fits nicely in an unused space that has way too much shade and cedar duff to be useful for plants. The coop will become a mini-storage shed. It's a good place to stash pots and soil and frequently-used fertilizers. In the winter, I can fit garden hoses, BBQ tools and tools out of the elements.</p><p>I'm thrilled I constructed it as a modular coop. The roof, coop and base are all separate units so it will be relatively easy to move.<br /></p><p>My huge old common lilac tree broke in the Sierra Cement snowfall a few months ago. As soon as it's blossomed, it's getting replaced by a much prettier lilac named Agincourt Beauty. I just repotted it into a roomy five-gallon pot and it's funny to think of this little twelve-inch lilac replacing a twelve foot tree. What a change that will be!<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuTMH3AmJ-yeDvwPA9GUAwwqJXK0oZvqcVi7-okvvbkQP8gqXzq64HzanipU7Rw2ct2z-flaYs_SszdTUwqUO_AZMuJvVf-odfidy1dNIP4TwnXZn4Dg4xwCSnppUoiXg1cbDGArDptb2g-do1fQdd2NR9kzFhMEHH6ulqZmpPdZ8aP5cdNw/s4032/PXL_20230321_163326250.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuTMH3AmJ-yeDvwPA9GUAwwqJXK0oZvqcVi7-okvvbkQP8gqXzq64HzanipU7Rw2ct2z-flaYs_SszdTUwqUO_AZMuJvVf-odfidy1dNIP4TwnXZn4Dg4xwCSnppUoiXg1cbDGArDptb2g-do1fQdd2NR9kzFhMEHH6ulqZmpPdZ8aP5cdNw/s320/PXL_20230321_163326250.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>When the lilac branch broke, it also took down part of a honeysuckle plant that shaded the chickens, provided cover from hawks and kept at least part of the run free of snow. I gave it a hard pruning--it might stay or it might not. The run previously was used for vegetables and that's my plan again. There was too much shade from the cherry tree which is almost completely dead and slated for removal soon as well as from the lilac tree. There should be plenty of hot sun again and I intend to take advantage of it for pole beans and sunflowers. </p><p>The Sensation lilac (fourth from the left) is calling my name--I love picotee flowers. Where to put it though? I'm pondering the possibilities. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDaYJ-80twCVSygmHZ6KBs5wHQ09sbgRdt-ZlNUrAWvCcalTInmDSYD9h36vByqGUvSXsLaPjf1dYk3_q_IWKB8tebvR_US__iGrue8uNx-3xQgtmETYq5n1Xy-n2t96wsiKoU1eRzjFWXEb-7l-2PdbGWrY18sXUA4eZF3gxto3nXDbv5ag/s4032/PXL_20230319_225627862.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDaYJ-80twCVSygmHZ6KBs5wHQ09sbgRdt-ZlNUrAWvCcalTInmDSYD9h36vByqGUvSXsLaPjf1dYk3_q_IWKB8tebvR_US__iGrue8uNx-3xQgtmETYq5n1Xy-n2t96wsiKoU1eRzjFWXEb-7l-2PdbGWrY18sXUA4eZF3gxto3nXDbv5ag/s320/PXL_20230319_225627862.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p>Gardens need to be updated every so often.

So fast, so easy. But we still made short comments, at least. Then heart icons on Instagram and Tik Tok appearred. Is it just me or does typing a comment on those platforms seem a bit too pushy/unneeded/intrusive/over-personal? </p><p>Blogs, however, don't have a cute little icon to quickly show I like/care/etc. </p><p>I'm now guilty of reading a blog and sometimes not commenting. I got spoiled. Putting my thoughts into words takes time compared with clicking a convenient little icon. <br /></p><p>Anyway, I just checked my Comments Setting and realized I'd been getting comments but had not approved them. Mostly because I never saw them. Might be the system never gave me a heads up via email. Or it might have been something I did wrong. (Not likely since I'm sooooo tech savy,)</p><p>I sincerely apologize to everyone who commented during my March Binge of Posts. When I checked my Stats, I was thrilled to not only see I had readers, but that some had commented!!! And I never knew and never acknowledged you.<br /></p><p>Suffice it to say that I reset my Comments and they will just appear after the post (and I'll delete the spam as needed.) Because I love anyone who is willing to spend a little of their time to make me feel pretty wonderful and connected through our common interests. </p><p>Now I need to figure out how to respond to your kind comments. Our give-and-take is a simple thing, but is really the essence of who we are!<br /></p><p>I know have some technical learning/updating to do. Blogger changed enough things since I was posting regularly--in a previous decade--that I need to relearn their system. I'm grateful that adding photos got easier after their last iteration. I never had a problem changing my banner from season to season or as the mood struck me, and that's a priority for me now. The current truck and simple font is a lot different from what I'd prefer. It does the trick, but I accept the challenge to upgrade my skills.</p><p>In random news, Lilypad Pond has been ice-free for a grand total of two days now. Apparently Lila thinks it is warm enough to wade in. Sheesh.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNwHto0bZ0PYoeQzQ9luNfsEjEEiNVKjs7lkNrKArDGvo7MxvkzuzBIcOhT0sHuD4VuZaS5MwHBK8SprYucUh9mVW2-UVk5EQ08YxjsHEniJbu2z0klIvmvJcRkqwstqgsK2mmhuazhCmBvwD8lGV2MKotuOILRv6H3ASuxKw4p6fNO5HpyQ/s2868/PXL_20230316_183750849.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1575" data-original-width="2868" height="176" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNwHto0bZ0PYoeQzQ9luNfsEjEEiNVKjs7lkNrKArDGvo7MxvkzuzBIcOhT0sHuD4VuZaS5MwHBK8SprYucUh9mVW2-UVk5EQ08YxjsHEniJbu2z0klIvmvJcRkqwstqgsK2mmhuazhCmBvwD8lGV2MKotuOILRv6H3ASuxKw4p6fNO5HpyQ/s320/PXL_20230316_183750849.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><br /></p>pogoniphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18446029045815991673noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24107493.post-1207626723203471532023-03-15T17:02:00.003-07:002023-03-15T17:02:41.476-07:00Teensy Teaser:<p> Yesterday was a good day on the bunny front.

Even so, a little grumbling is okay. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfmS2m-xdcGzNsqFs25as3AS5t51Pfloh5SESE8gdwPAYaF_3YrxtXTF4bRVnaWlQptwgtk0hDFzHqG63OLZBF0cSupvuSuyK1PfeY2_VEg-EJ4rC_rX52_M0nyJPbD-0mAqG6DkuqN0bZOzvGmt6eHCE16QDwoWe7N_YKHQeihfOEPG0bzQ/s4032/PXL_20230307_162512805.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfmS2m-xdcGzNsqFs25as3AS5t51Pfloh5SESE8gdwPAYaF_3YrxtXTF4bRVnaWlQptwgtk0hDFzHqG63OLZBF0cSupvuSuyK1PfeY2_VEg-EJ4rC_rX52_M0nyJPbD-0mAqG6DkuqN0bZOzvGmt6eHCE16QDwoWe7N_YKHQeihfOEPG0bzQ/s320/PXL_20230307_162512805.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>Side note: I just love having the morning sunshine in my living room again!<br /><p></p><p>My number one key to resetting my internal clock is to change my eating habits to reflect the new time displayed on my clocks. Not so much my breakfast or lunch, but definitely dinner. It feels a little strange to eat an hour earlier at first, but give me three days and I no longer notice the difference. I am ruled by my stomach. Totally.<br /></p><p>If you aren't the type to jump into the cold pool and would rather inch in gradually, you can anticipate the time switch by Springing Ahead by fifteen minutes a day. So this Thursday, I'll be trying to eat and sleep fifteen minutes earlier. Friday, thirty minutes earlier. Saturday, forty-five minutes. So a fifteen minute change on Sunday won't feel so monumental. Can't hurt, right?!</p><p>The last thing I recommend is to climb into bed whether you feel like it or not. If you aren't tired enough, then do sometime soothing that will make you sleepy. Read a boring book. Take a warm bath before putting on your jammies. Listen to soothing music. No smartphones, tablets or laptops. This is the only time I feel like I have to be disciplined about my activity, because changing my bedtime to an earlier hour is hard for me. It's helpful going to bed at the usual "time" regardless of what my head is telling me. </p><p>One way or another, we'll all soon be waking, eating and sleeping on our new schedule without a second thought. <br /></p>pogoniphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18446029045815991673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24107493.post-84560944124801121792023-03-06T17:47:00.002-08:002023-03-06T17:47:23.128-08:00I Might Be The Only One<p> I enjoy Springing Ahead and Falling Backwards. </p><p>I don't at all mind "losing" an hour of sleep so that my clock time matches the sunshine that has started to flood our east-facing bedroom. If I'm gonna be awake anyway, I'm much happier to hit the ground running at seven instead of six in the morning. </p><p>Getting up in the cool of a summer day that has the potential to go triple digits is another reason I'm thrilled with daylight savings time.</p><p>It may have been a few years (okay, decades) since I had little ones who, like chickens, woke with the sunrise. I liked my kids a whole lot better when my clock radio said it was only six-fifteen instead of a dreadful five-fifteen.</p><p>I don't think I'm losing anything. Especially since I know I'll regain that hour of sleep next Fall when the days are getting way too short.</p><p>With snow falling and accumulating on an almost daily basis--still!--I'm also ready for any hope of Spring.<br /></p>pogoniphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18446029045815991673noreply@blogger.com0
