Yeah, I gave up on cutting and started sorting my seeds - just can't leave the dirt alone! Wall thingy :gig You crack me up! It's a mini quilt for their wall! He likes green - added some green stained glass panels to their kitchen window - so I thought this would go nicely, because it will have a lot of green. I just need to buckle down and do it, instead of wandering off to play in the dirt :lol:

:yuckyuck

Well, I did a good job driving, I am so proud of myself :lol: Came up on THREE tractors on the roads, so it must be Spring!

I would suppose it is NOT a good sign when your doc takes one look at your 'problem area' and says "We need to get you in to a specialist, pronto." Pronto...really? I didn't know anyone used that word anymore! So, test results in 3-5, and get to meet the guy doc in 3 weeks. Yippee.

I stopped by Lowe's on my way home, bought grow lights and a mini greenhouse (I bet I could squeeze in there if I really wanted to, and took lessons in the ancient art of body folding :D ) Well, DS and I slapped that puppy together in no time. Then he helped me carry my flats to the kitchen table, and I planted seeds like a mad woman!! Now, I have a strange glow radiating from my back room! :bun :bun Grow, babies, grow!! :lol:

Today I had to pester the hubster at work. I HATE to do that, as it always freaks him out, but I was nice and waited until lunch. I found a pole barn on CL for my sweet girl and her future mate, 14' deep, 24-28' wide (guess he doesn't own a tape measure :p ). Hay loft, with part of the width being a lean to that screams MILK PARLOR. Sorry, if it screamed it, I had to scream too :D I emailed the guy, he emailed back and said come take a look, see if I want to disassemble it or not - that's when it hit me. Look for what, exactly? What am I supposed to be looking for? So, called hubby. He's going to find a wi-fi spot, take a gander, then call and let me know what I'm supposed to be looking at/for/whatever :p We priced a small 14 x 20 shed type barn the other day - they wanted 2 1/2 times what this guys wants, just for materials - so, I thought it was worth a look. The fact that the guy who will have to do all the work spends 5/6/7 days a week on the complete opposite side of the state? Detail, just a minor detail :lol:

Hubby said it's a no go :( He looked at the picture's on CL, calculated based on the height of the man door (??huh??) and determined the thing is 20 feet tall, with gambrel trusses that must be special permitted to get them home (based on height/length. Oh sure, the old height/length thing. I knew that. not :p ). Long story short, he thinks, with lost wages for him to get it down, gas, permits, etc. , it would be cheaper to buy something new. :tongue What a stinky bummer!

Mini greenhouse? :woot
I know! I'm am so geeked about it!! It's sitting in my back room, all foggy looking and warm (which IS what I want, right? :p ). Someday, probably when I build it myself (which would probably resemble something like the Weasley house on HP!), I will have a walk in, sit down and HIDE kinda greenhouse (like somebody else on here ;) ). But for now, I am SO EXCITED to just have one, period!!

Honestly, I went into Lowe's planning to get some grow lights, so I could rig something up and motivate myself to start my seeds. They had this thing all set up just inside the door, with a grow light in it and a bunch of little plants growing like mad. Then, I saw the sign that said it was $29.98 for a limited time, and snatched one up!! My guess is, they were trying to stay competitive with Menards, which is located right behind them, because Dh constantly lectures me about the fact that Lowe's DOES NOT run sales ("Look what's in Lowes sale flyer this week!" "It is just a flyer. Lowe's DOES NOT RUN SALES." :tongue ) I don't care why, I'm just glad they did and I snagged me one! :lol:
