Ollie and I spent the entire day together just enjoying life and doing a little gardening. After a late breakfast, I went to the hardware store to buy garden soil for my new planter. On Cape Cod, St. Patrick’s Day if the traditional day to plant peas, so Ollie restrung the pea and bean tower,
carried the bags of garden oil from the car to the front of the house, and then planted the seeds.
We stopped for lunch, and he helped me get something done that I have been working on for two weeks. I got the growing flats ready days ago, but I had not planted the seeds. We took the flats outside where Ollie meticulously put the tiny seeds in each cell and then brought them back inside. I still need to get the grow lights up, but I have a few days as the light is not needed until the little plants emerge.
Heather left early this morning to take Sam and his friend Sebastian to a soccer game west of Boston and then she drove them into Boston to the Gardens to watch the Falmouth High School girl’s hockey team play in the State semi-finals. Jonah took the student bus from the high school to the game. They were not going to get home until after 6 pm, so Ollie spent the day with me. Jed stopped by early in the day to check-in and we decided on a plan for dinner. I picked up the meat at Wicked & Wood while I was out getting the garden soil and later in the day, he dropped off the red cabbage so that I could fix coleslaw. And we gathered at their house once everyone was home. Heather and Jed added mac and cheese for our version of a quick and easy St. Patrick’s Day dinner.
