unicorndukeCover crops are getting in the ground this week. I am going to crack garlic tonight and plant it tomorrow as soon as I get the rototiller on the tractor and get the ground prepared. Better late than never. Probably.
I went to the local spinning/weaving guild yesterday. I got there a little after 1pm, but will make it for 1 next time. It runs from 1-5pm which is a great amount of time. It was primarily spinners, although a bunch of folks were knitting and crocheting. It was great to chat with people, very casual and nice to talk with folks who know spinning so well. Some people were even working on fleeces! I brought my supported spindles and worked on my cotton spinning which was fun to chat about. I didn't stay super long, had to get back but it was overall good. There was an actual guild meeting in there, casually run but fun. I'll go back again.
I came home early to run the giant bushel gourd down the road to a neighbor who is going to dry it out and save the seeds for us to split before it got dark. It will be below 20F tonight so everything needs to be cleaned up and put away.
Then, I badgered my parents into tagging a room for the move. I had to ask three times but they got up and we did it. We are doing a system of using four different colors of painters tape to tag items in a room, purple is staying here at the farm house/farm, yellow is going to parents' new house, green is traveling with parents to whichever house they end up in and blue is to get rid of the item. Then I write on the painters tape details of what the item is, what room it is going to and any other info needed. So we got one room done, my future office and then I moved some things to their proper location (AC unit to basement, server to upstairs bedroom, office supplies onto the shelf that is staying), stacked some other things up and staged a few things that will go to new house near the front door. Progress! I made a sheet of what colors go with what tapes so they know. I'm just going to wander around tagging things as we go since some stuff is easy.
I am taking my truck to the garage later for an oil change and new tires. Probably time to stop driving around on the spare. It's been years since the last new tires, so I figured it was a good time to get that all handled before Thursday's trip. I'm falling down on arranging things for the trip, I still haven't confirmed where I'm sleeping, but oh well.
