Spiders looking for new home

Mmmmm Greg made pancakes for breakfast, I'm distracted, he makes a great ranch cook....sadly he isn't quite as good at washing up ! Yesterday,sisterTrish and I went to work on the greenhouse up by the house to prerare it for the Spring. Usually, clearing the greenhouse ready for Spring planting happens in Spring !!! Not being the greatest gardener in the world, infact, being a terrible and very reluctant gardener anything remotely related gardening is bottom of my list of priorities. The greenhouse had been home to a lovely tidy row of cherry tomatoes on each side, lovingly planted by Greg ( not me !!) fertilized and nutured with care. Ok.......a bucket of poo from Gregs manure pile which IS lovingly tended was chucked in and we tried hard to remember to water them is more like the truth. If they had produced anything like the beautiful crop of cherry tomatoes on the wrapping maybe there would have been more enthusiasm but the tomatoes gleaned off the very healthy plants were sparce to say the least. Trish attacks any chore with enthusiasm and glee....she dived into the train wreck that had been our greenhouse and in seconds tomato vines were flying out the door and Trish, armed with trowel and broom was sweeping like a woman posessed. The job was done in no time, spiders disposessed of their Winter accomodation evacuated as she swept and Trish emerged victorious in a matter of minutes, covered in tomato vine shreds, cobwebs and mud....."that was easier than I had expected". Please don't go home Trish ! Jodie arrived home after her weekly trip to Seattle for her glass blowing course, just in time for 2nd shift down at the barn. After her bike ride to Bremmerton, strangely, the staircase here at the house challenged her ! I I'm sure the hill here at the house would have started.... ..and terminated my bike ride, never mind a trip to Bremmerton. Oh, mild and dry today, what mischief can we get up to !. I'm going to go and get ready for the barn, I had a late start. Take care, enjoy the sunbreaks. M
