Spread mulch under the tomatoes & pepper plants ahead of the incoming cold front.

Started cleaning the tables in the greenhouse & relocating them elsewhere so I can start demolishing it.

Made blueberry/chocolate chip blonde bars for our desserts.

The cold front arrived about 1420 hrs, we're down to 59 degrees... It started raining around 1800 hrs & we have received 0.87" thus far!!!

Moved the 4-shelf unit out of the greenhouse to the service porch & then took down the 2 pipes that held the hanging baskets. I'm about ready to start the demolition.

Mixed a wheelbarrow worth of my garden dirt & refilled 4 - 2 gallon pots. Then filled up another planter & finished top-dressing the crape myrtles.

Put out another roll of hay for the cattle.

Replaced the 10 LED bulbs for the master bath vanities. They were expensive & only lasted 3 yrs. To say that we 're very disappointed is an understatment...

Finally got another court date 5/12/26, the first one was canceled because her lawyer was sick. I think these lawyers drag crap out as the money stacks up. I am $20,000 in and haven;t even been to court yet. So much for justice in out justice system.........Just keep me in your prayers......
