rebeccmeisterSaturday morning, we put our main docks in. There were many uncertainties, but everything worked out really smoothly!
After that all wrapped up, I spent some additional time at the boathouse tidying a few things up and repositioning Petrichor where she lived last year. The spot where she lived for the winter was NOT ideal, it was slightly too exposed to the rain and snow and she filled with water.
In the afternoon I managed grocery shopping and then made a big batch of cheesy polenta to go with black beans and other things. It will never not be funny to cook polenta for humans to eat, after that year where I spent months cooking polenta for ants to eat.
Sunday was a Day of Many Small Chores. I fixed my safety donut so it can go back on my bike. I whipped the ends of two pieces of rope so they can go be Petrichor's ropes. I harvested worm dirt out of the worm bin. I FINALLY finished sanding the next set of oars and put primer on them. I put buttons back on a shirt. Then I cooked English Pea Pancakes with Colorful Vegetable Saute.
The cats enjoyed lots of catio time after I finally figured out where George had been squeezing out. Shortly before I had to bring them in for the day today, I went out and observed George up on the wood ledge above the catio door. He is clearly looking for other devious ways to get out. Thankfully when he gets out he never goes far, and he often flops over and shows me his belly.
I'm leading a safety briefing at rowing practice tomorrow, so I'd better get up and make it happen. After that it will be a Day of More Grading.
