End of February already?

Having another week of "wintery" weather. Nothing like New England, sure, but for here, it's been a cold one. Kale got hit hard and won't be edible this spring. Glad I'm converting the garden to perennial fruits, much less work. I think. I planted a fig tree a couple of weeks ago, defying the odds, and may have lost. Oh well, I'll try again when it really is spring, and once established it'll be able to withstand this kind of chill. Many neighbors have full size trees that produce very well. Love fresh figs!

Work: may have a full time framing position coming up later this spring. Have been invited to apply/interview by the store manager. Okay, benefits, doing what I know, sounds good to me. Only drawback would be driving out of town. I'm spoiled by being able to walk to work at both of my part time jobs I have now. But I'd better grow up sooner or later, and get real with this employment thing!

I miss my grandboy! Had a wonderful visit with him and the family in January. Wish they didn't live on the other side of the continent. I considered the possibility of moving back to the east coast, but with the higher cost of living and my income record, I doubt if I could qualify for another mortgage back there, so I'd be going back to renting, which is pricey too... Gonna just do what I can here and make more trips. Hoping for another one maybe this fall, see the trees turn color (they do here too, but not as intense or with such variety.) By then, the new grandboy-to-come Ahvi will be a few months old, and Efren will be that much older and more amazing.
