With Sally in NM this was just a boys trip (Tender and I). We received rain on Thursday morning so I decided to come the short cut. Didn't see one vehicle, but did meet a horse party of about 20 of all ages. The road was in pretty good shape -- I was able to drive the entire length in second gear and never had to use 4WD.
Garden
The rain gauge had almost an inch in it, so I didn't have to water. There was lots of bok choy, but some little white fuzzy worm was helping itself to it. Tender also likes it. I also picked some beautiful orange bell peppers, a bit of lettuce, and small container of cherry tomatoes. Plus I did some weeding in there.
Mowing
The grass had really grown, with the recent rains. I mowed the upper level Saturday. Sunday morning it was raining lightly and I was regretting not doing it all the day before, but it cleared by late morning. The grass was still wet, but I got the rest of it knocked out in the afternoon.
Cursed Weed Eaters
I determined the Poulan is not getting fuel, but didn't have an allen wrench to get it apart. The brush whacker had a badly fouled plug. I finally got it to run briefly, but then couldn't get it re-started. Did what I could with the little John Deere.
Kitchen
I made black berry muffins Saturday night, and a double batch of pesto Sunday morning while it was raining. I froze the pesto in muffin tins, and then popped them out, wrapped 'em in plastic, and left them in the freezer for a winter treat.
Wood
Loaded the truck with wood, and that was the weekend.
