I know I’m not alone in thinking, who needs April Fools, when every day is like waking up to the biggest fools joke in history, only it’s reality.  Hard act to follow.

Speaking of waking up, I normally sleep through 6AM, but here I am up and writing.  Like, it’s April, fool, time to wake up with the birds and get ready to garden.

We’re supposed to get another one of those big storms tomorrow; maybe it will be another April fools joke.  There’s no telling around here.

Yesterday I introduced OtoCat to E’s aquarium, but didn’t tell him.  I’m waiting to see how long it will take him to notice the new little catfish.

I did lots of gardeny stuff yesterday.  I planted some hardened-off veg and herb plants, and brought some more outside.  I’m excited to see last year’s asparagus coming back.  Also all the ferns are unfurling!

I continued to hoe around the outside of the veg garden.  In a couple of weeks (after frost-free date) I’ll be able to start direct-sowing the rest of the flower and veg seeds, and harden off more seedlings.  And start some more indoors.  A never-ending cycle.
