Another good day to work out side. I brought a wheel barrowful of manure up and put it in the small flower gardens in the grove. Then I put the vica major that Norman took out of the rock garden next to the house into the gardens in the grove. I watered them well and now hope they take root. It would help the iris in those gardens retain water. It is hard to water those gardens so they have to fend for themselves when it get dry. I also made four loaves of bread this morning. I will freeze three loaves and then I won’t have to make bread again until next week. Tomorrow we go to Murfreesboro for Norman’s shot in his eye. We will stop in McMinnville on the way home and get a few items then take the rest of the day off. Have a good day.
