Well now I am debating whether I should get any new varieties this year as I have a LOT of carry overs from last year and there is no way I/we will eat them all but I hate to throw them away.
I threw away some last year for the first time ever that I can remember but that was just a dozen or so marble size and these are not marble size.
I should go out and do some garden work today but it is only 37 degrees at noon hour and I just do not have the oomph to do so.

On a sad or at least life biting one in the buttocks, several gents I knew well have died: I found out one gent who was my go to place for garden equip. died of the Corona Virus two weeks ago; over thirty plus years I would go to his shop three to four times a year and beyond business just sit a BS for several hours about snowmobiles and life in general.
The day before I found out he had the Virus, I was going to go to his shop and check on a new snow-blower, and BS

When I told my Cousin at home Wayne had died, he thought I meant a gent that I graduated with and I found out that , that Wayne had died also.
This got me to looking at obits online to find his , which was not there, but I found out his older brother had died the day before Christmas and his one sister had also died earlier plus, I found out that a dude I went to Vo-Tech with, whose ex-wife I still saw fairly often, had died earlier this year..

I am not one to read obits in the paper, but when I do, and there is no reason I do, I just decide to do it, there is usually some one I knew quite well ,at some point in life, listed.
I had 9 living cousins for decades, the past ten years have reduced that to 4, only one in good health and he is the only one older than me now.
Que sera , sera. Shrug!
