- Monday, 5/11: Turned On Electric Fence
- Mary heard the deep buzzing sound of the wing beats of a ruby-throated hummingbird when she took the tomato starts outside. She knows that distinct sound from past years of hummingbirds flying nearby. It was the first of the season.
- Mary started cutting garlic scapes. She cut four. More to come
- Mary weeded half of the strawberry plants in the near garden.
- A couple days ago, gnats started appearing. They really love me. Mary says she doesn't notice them until I show up next to her outside. I'm wearing a headnet, now.
- I checked all fence posts in the near garden. I thought they would be loose, but they were solid. I replaced one gate wire that was rusty. I then pulled the 11 electric fence wires tight, cutting off lengths of excess wire in each case. I plugged in the electric fencer unit, made a couple small adjustments, and saw the unit go to full strength.
- I watched Game 4 of the Avalanche/Wild playoff series. Colorado won 5-2. They now lead the series three games to one. I rooted for the losing team, again!
