It warmed up to 55* fairly quickly, and everyone but Amber headed outside. We are having a tea party in a bit, and she stayed in to prepare the snacks and tea. Our kitchen table is still covered with grow lights and seeds, so we are going to wing it in the living room. I LOVE having tea parties with my family, even dressing up in whatever theme they come up with. The menu includes: ham scones, chip dip, dressed eggs, cheese, healthy peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies, and herbal tea.
I went into the garden and put the rest of my big bag of peat moss on my raised beds. I ran out, so I picked up a few rocks and sticks and tidied things up a bit. One of our beds that we used repurposed wood on needs some work, so we will have to get to that before we plant.
Jeff showed Jessie and Josh how to install a new radiator cap on the Dodge truck Jessie is currently driving, and how to fill it up with fluid. He then showed them how to air up a tire with his air pump. They moved on to other work projects and Jeff spray painted some of the window frames he will be installing in his greenhouse tomorrow.
I am so glad that he can finally make some faster progress on it, because I have PLANTS I want to put in there when it's done!
Jeff and I have to run to town for greenhouse supplies later, so we will probably squeeze in a wee inexpensive date while we are out.
Before I post next Saturday, my son, Joshua, will have turned 14 (on Thursday). He wants to celebrate next weekend by eating at an all-you-can-eat pizza buffet. He also wanted to delay his birthday breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes until next Saturday so his daddy can have some. That's my thoughtful boy.
I think that about wraps up our day. We have colder weather coming back Wednesday, so we are going to revel in the sun and warmth while we can!! I may try to squeeze in starting some more lettuce seeds before our tea party begins.
Have a wonderful weekend!
