Snowy April 16

Arlene went to the endodontist for a root canal today. I went to the CVS to fill her antibiotic prescription, and to Whole Foods to get her some yoghurt and bananas, and potatoes and codfish to make fish chowder for low-chewing dinner. The weather forecast had predicted rain today and snow for farther west and …

Started Duo Yiddish course

Yesterday I saw that Duolingo has announced a Yiddish course. I signed up for it today. My father’s parents were native speakers of Yiddish. My father knew a fair bit of it, but I don’t think he was ever fluent in it. He didn’t speak much of it around the house. On the other hand, …

Back in Whole Foods

In the next step of emerging from the pandemic, I went food shopping at Whole Foods. In what some people call “the before times”, Arlene would go shopping there three or more times per week, buying what she wanted for that day’s meals. During the pandemic we have had virtually all of our food delivered, …

Snow Peas are in

I planted my snow peas today. It was a sunny day with temperature around fifty, but very windy. It took me a while until I decided that it wasn’t going to get nicer and I ought to get on with the planting. I put in four double rows of snow peas (some netting for them …

Working on statistics

I also watched a few you tube videos about grafting apple trees. Maybe it will work! My vegetable patch is now all turned over; a bit more raking and it will be ready for planting snow peas. Near the beginning of the pandemic I started working on a web site to look at some of …

Spaded garden

I turned over more of my vegetable plot today. It’s about 3/4 ready to plant with snow peas, of which I think I have four varieties. I’ll say more (which varieties are in which rows, for instance) when I plant ’em, which could be as early as tomorrow but probably won’t. The dark area in …

Back to Cold Spring

A couple of weeks ago we set out to walk around Cold Spring Park. It’s just two miles from here, and probably less than a mile around, and sometimes has good birds. We gave up on that walk because there was an icy spot at a hilly part of the trail. It’s been warm enough …
