The Grass Grows
We are in the thick of grass-cutting season. This will last until about July, after which it gets hot and the grass goes dormant. I had to cut the grass in the garden again yesterday. If I don’t keep it trimmed out there, I find it too hard to work—rather like having to have a clean kitchen in order to cook.
The strawberries are coming on beautifully. However, I spotted a turkey on a reconnaissance mission in the garden yesterday afternoon. That may become an issue. I am not interested in sharing the bounty with the neighborhood wildlife, and the turkeys seem to be particularly fond of berries.
I started running my hose lines, too, although the final layout will depend on where I put plants. Everything is on schedule. The plant sale is this Saturday and I will be glad to have that over and done with.

I made more flying geese for the BU jacket:
The first batch of flying geese went into making the Sawtooth Stars. This second batch will be used as fillers for smaller areas. They range in size from 1-1/2" wide to 3" wide. I may not have time to work on the jacket again until after the plant sale, but I’m trying to do a little bit every day. Slow and steady wins the race.

QuickBooks sent me an e-mail this morning claiming to have fixed the problem I was having with payroll. I tried it again and got the same error message, so I’ll have to call them AGAIN and let them know they missed the mark. If this continues much longer, I am going to demand a refund of my first month’s payment for the payroll module. At the moment, it’s useless to me.

I’m trying not to rush time, but I already find myself looking forward to the fall. I think I just don’t like the frantic pace of summer here in Montana. The season is so short that everything has to be crammed into a couple of months. I like cooler weather, too. And I get to spend more time with the husband during the winter. Our 35th wedding anniversary was yesterday. We’ll go on date night soon to celebrate.
Who knew it would be such an adventure?
