I woke up in the wee hours of the morning several days ago, shivering uncontrollably and I wasn't cold. It was very strange. Turns out I'd come down
with a virus or something and I was sick most of last week. Maybe it was the swine flu. 
Didn't feel like bothering with a weekly thread. I'm feeling much better now.
Still working on the garden and the porch. I got behind on the work I wanted to do while I was sick. We had to get a new car (new for us) because the transmission on the old car died and it would cost more to fix it than the car is worth.. Arch (as always) found a really great deal, so we're back in business.
The weather here's been glorious the last week or so. I wish I hadn't been sick during the best weather of the year, but I still enjoyed it a lot. We've got flower boxes and hanging planters on the front porch now, with golden pansies and creeping thyme in them. The lettuces, spring onions, sugar snap peas, and swiss chard are up in the garden beds. The stuff that I planted in cups looks like it will be ready for transplanting soon. I still need to prepare several more beds and maybe start some more seeds in cups.
