     Yesterday was a pleasant day.  It was bill paying day.  Instead of being thankful I had money to pay the bills I was frustrated at being inside.  There was some other paperwork that needed done too.  Bekah spent too much time on hold trying to get the WIC app to work.  The WIC office apologized explaining the company given the WIC contract was the only company the state would approve.  She said many vendors were having problems. Why does the state insist that the WIC program use a company that seems unable to provide the service contracted for?

    Jay dug some garlic as the tips were browning.  The heads were nice but I think he is going to wait  a bit to dig more.  There are lots of little cucumbers but they are not getting large fast enough to keep up with the demand.  He is hoping today's pick will be larger.  There were quite a few nursery customers.  Even though it is very warm people are taking advantage of the moisture to plant.   Doug mowed.  Will he get it baled?  It doesn't have to be as dry to round bale it.  Some sunbeams are breaking through the clouds.  Some sun and a breeze would be helpful.  The lawns need to be mowed again.

     May God be with you on this day, Sally
