The rain stopped but it's still quite wet out.  And as it's forecast to be cloudy all day it will probably stay that way.  I hope to get out and work in the garden a bit today and plant more of the seedlings.

There is something eating a few of the plants.  Not sure what but I am going to put some aluminum foil around those plants to see if that will stop whatever is eating them.

I would like to put down some more of the landscape fabric but if it's too wet, that may wait until later.

I am getting to the end of planting seedlings.  And at this point, I do not think I will plant any more seeds until later.  Once the planting is done, then it will be working to keep pests off.

In the house, I want to take down the specific Easter Decorations like the egg/basket tree  and a few other things...just leaving summer things out to brighten up the rooms.

I repotted all the house plants and they are doing well, so they are ready to go outside on the patio shelves.  

I managed to make time to do some weaving on the loom I made using embroidery floss.  I like the way it is turning out.  I am using all six strands of the floss for weaving.  You will notice that I began the weaving with four sticks to get things started.  I do not plan on keeping the sticks in the weaving creation, only as a way to start the weaving.

I think if I make another loom like this, I will use six layers of cardboard on the long sides.  Using only four allows for a bit of bending.  Not a lot, just more than I would like.

So do you have any plans for the weekend?  Ours will be a quiet one with family stopping by on Sunday.  It looks like a cloudy weekend but rain is absent from the forecast.  Might be a good time to take in a farmer's market or see if there's a spring event close by.

Be sure to take some time for yourself this weekend.  Talk with you next week...
