On April Fools’ Day we had a snowstorm that amounted to a whole lot of nothing around our parts and melted away by late Saturday, allowing us to get out and do some work in the yard.\u00a0 Well, I worked on the yard, J worked on our (new to us) John Deere trailer in the yard.\u00a0 Last night he was talking about a harrow he saw on Craig’s List or some other list serve that looked intriguing\u00a0and all I could think was, “If the Con Com doesn’t allow us to build a new shed I am going to sob in the middle of their meeting.”\u00a0 We really just need a place to store the stuff where it won’t be exposed to the elements, requiring more repair and rust removal.\u00a0 I really don’t have a problem with any of the John Deere stuff, as is evidenced by my recent purchase of fruit snacks for my 30-something husband:<\/p>\n

“Wired” magazine’s April 2011 edition had an article recently about cobranding and labelled these snacks as an “Awesomely Awful Frankenbrand.”\u00a0 The snippet makes fun of the idea of grape-flavored gummy pigs.\u00a0 For the record, I have yet to see any grape-flavored pigs in those packets.\u00a0 But I only eat the orange ones anyway.\u00a0 You can read the whole article<\/a>\u00a0on their website (it’s short.)<\/p>\n

In other news, the eggplants and peppers are due for transplantation to larger containers this week (photos coming soon), we planted the tomatoes on Saturday (Sungold and Early Girl), and the strawberry seeds have gone missing in the freezer.\u00a0 I don’t relish emptying the entire freezer out to find them, but today marks 5 weeks, so tonight’s post-meeting\/post-dinner project is freezer organization\/strawberry seed retrieval.\u00a0 My life is so full.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
