Got 3 loads of topsoil in this morning. Then ordered 8 pallets of grass. Then went to Lowe's and ordered carpet for both the kid's rooms. The wife is gonna run me broke.

Did the weekly shopping & topped off the gas tank of Mrs. Ranch's Jeep @ $4.30/gal. I guess that until this nonsense if over, I'll just top off every time I go somewhere...

Seasoned up a pork sirloin roast with cracked pepper & ground rosemary. I'll roast it in the oven along with carrots, potatoes, onions & celery.

Moved 3 loads of dirt today. Used the big tractor to get it from the front of the property to the back. Then the small tractor to put it in place. Got lots of sod showing up tomorrow, I’m on the clock. Hired 2 HS boys to help on Saturday. Rain looks to be in the forecast, so that is good.

Sod is going down. 4 pallets empty and 4 to go.

 

[w_r_ranch]

Cut the grass ahead of the rain.

Cleaned/refilled the wasp traps.

 

[wolffman]

Sod is done. I’ll give it a B- job. I was in a rush. Planted 13 new bamboo plants and fertilized the existing ones.

 

[Titus Bass]

Looks good..............

The lightning woke me up at 0200 hrs. We have received 0.31" of rain since midnight.

Made a lemon cake with lemon frosting for our neighbors.

Cleaned 6 of the 7 ceiling fans. Also cleaned the oscillating fan in the garage,

Special trip to town for cigarettes... they're another 'supply chain' issue for whatever reason.

Removed the left side bucket cylinder on the tractor for rebuild (it suddenly started leaking).

Pruned a 'Spirea' in the back, aka pop's, flowerbed in preparation for moving it to another bed. This bed had a number of fatalities from the big freeze so we are redoing it.

 

[w_r_ranch]

Watered the pots on the back porch.

Refilled the redbird feeders.

 

[wolffman]

Fertilized the grass before the supposed rains. Today was a bust.

 

[w_r_ranch]

Here as well... Forecast was for 1.86", we got 0.01".

 

[w_r_ranch]

Woohoo, we got another 0.06" of rain!!!

Made hamburger buns for our burgers tonight & tomorrow.

 

[Titus Bass]

We had a little over 1.5" and some serious winds.

Made 'Pagnotta' bread this morning. This country-style sourdough bread made with durum wheat dough, natural yeast, water & salt is traditionally prepared in the Sicilian provinces of Enna & Catania. Peasant food at it's finest..

Watered the garden, asparagus, flowerbeds & all the trees/lirope sice we didn't receive much rain.

Reinstalled the left side bucket cylinder on the tractor after rebuilding it. Ops check good.

Did the weekly shopping & topped off the fuel tank.

Seasoned up a couple of chicken breasts that I'll put on the smoker later.

Brought up some potatoes & cleaned them for Mrs. Ranch as she's fixing to make potato salad this weekend.

Harvested the first 5 tomatoes. Mrs. Ranch is going to make cucumber/onion/tomato salad as a side dish for tonight's supper.

That salad looks good........

It's easy to make. Simply slice/add equal amounts of tomato, onions & cucumbers to a bowl. Add:

• 2 Tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons of white vinegar
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons of sugar
• 1 /1/3 cup of water

Stir it all together, adjust to your taste & then refrigerate if for at least 2 hours.

Watered the garden, asparagus, flowerbeds, porch pots & the trees/lirope in the backyard.

Put out 2 rolls of hay for the cattle.

Shred along the frontage road as the county is useless at maintaining their right-of-way.

Ordered 2 more cases of ammo (special Memorial Day pricing).

Harvested bell peppers & a bowl of cherry tomatoes. Tomorrow we'll make stuffed peppers, then freeze & vacuum pack for later.
