About that time our local BiMart was clearing out seasonal merchandise and I bought two fleece throws. During all the removal of “stuff” from the house last year, I’ve managed to keep them. I’ve not figured out how to get one to her, but now that Covid Panic is winding down I can work on that.

Momma bear looks a little thin after the winter and having 3 cubs; but the spring feeding season has begun. If you use a search phrase “fat polar bears” there are many photos of bears after the feeding season, some are cute and others you likely don’t want a 3 year old to see. <\/p>\n

And here at home:
\nWe had just 3 pruners this week, and I didn\u2019t go on Friday. Next week Cameron will not be home until Thursday. The cold and cloudy weather has kept the vines from having the buds open so there has not been damage there. We have not seen regional reports except that fruit growers are concerned.
\nFriday I went for lunch with the CWU scholarship lunch group of which Nancy was a long time participant. The University has not quite dropped all of the Covid Panic restriction. So there are a few masks to be seen on campus. In the Ellensburg stores many employees are using masks but only a very small number of shoppers. I saw a driver with a mask on, but didn\u2019t see if there were passengers. Apparently the Seattle and other Puget Sound residents are still very much wearing masks. We\u2019ve got a rural versus urban thing going on.<\/p>\n

I have worked a couple of hours dismantling the in-shed room. This recovers 2x4s and 3\/8s inch plywood, and cans of nails. I need to re-establish the electricity in the shed. I need a dozen screw on wire caps to cover the (now) disconnected wires to plugs and lights. Then the main circuit breaker can be reinstalled, and I\u2019ll have internal power. I can use plug-in lights until an \u201cidea\u201d clicks for internal lights.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m gathering wood for burning. I didn\u2019t expect to be burning this long into spring. There is lots of wood, but not a suitable length for the stove. Some just has to be cut the right length, about 15\u201d to 16\u201d. Some has to be split. I\u2019m gathering pre-cut trees for future use. And I need to cut, split, and stack that. A hot & dry summer will, I hope, get it sufficiently dry. There is plenty of dead wood I can use, but wonder if that will be enough for a long winter. I\u2019ll work on that when I get the newly fallen trees processed. \"\"<\/p>\n

The price of generic gasoline has stabilized at $4.40 per gallon.<\/p>\n
