I dug the 2nd swale today for my garden and it was much easier since it hasn’t rained in a couple of days. As I was working, a guy stopped by to give me unsolicited advice. He had just finished his degree in Agricultural Science and seemed to assume that I know nothing about gardens. I’m pretty sure he thought my swales and berms were meant to keep out chickens or something. I tried explaining how the water is routed around the garden and given a chance to seep into the ground but he only seemed to understand a little. When he left he said he would come by again sometime to advise me. Um, thanks buddy.
We have a water shortage right now, which doesn’t make sense because it rained heavily on Monday. Luckily I should be able to last a few days on what water I have and not have to wait 30 min to fill up part of a bucket at our trickling pipe.
There is a printer in the computer room that I tested today. It printed! I find it amazing that I am out in the middle of nowhere and can print…at least from Word, still can’t get it to print our PCV contact sheet from Excel…
Uma made cinnamon rolls yesterday and offered me some. I biked over there for a double treat of delicious rolls and good conversation. So glad I have my bike to make the trip easier/faster and for a taste of home.
For some reason the electricity wasn’t working right tonight (weak so only some lights outside work) and a bat flew in the house. Outside, I’m pretty sure I saw an owl land on the roof of my choo but it flew off as I went to grab my glasses. I’d never seen a wild owl before (through no fault of Snapper’s) so I’m pretty stoked.
