What else?

 Norton won't let me sign in to Onedrive to down load my photos from my phone.

Our Retirment guys didn't think about those of us that work when they set up a webinar for noon so didn't make arrangements for it to be recorded nor is it written so the information gets out those that are working. They are working on it. Can you tell their ages  of not thinking of it. I've told classmates that they need to complain instead of tagging us asking what it was about.

Daughter 4 got a new job that pays more and has health insurance AND only had 1 more payment on her car. One son is finishing high school and looking for full time work. Right now he is working 10 hrs a week after school (would like more but he doesn't get his license until 18) The older son got himself fired and then after NOT looking for work, got himself threatened to be put out by MOM. HE can go mooch off his friends as she put it. She'll help if he was looking but sitting home playing video games doesn't float with her.

Daughter 3 is still employed, two oldest are working odd jobs, the youngest 2 are still in school. Daughter 3 doesn't let her kids work during school year except for their dad until 18 when they start driving.

Daughter 2 is working 2 jobs. Could lose the main one as she is last hired at school. Her boys are all working for their dad for  jobs and fencing and some landscaping. At least they are all working and getting their bills paid. Daughter 2 figures she is going to have to do something as a couple of them are moving out and she's have to add those bills to her own bills. 

Daughter 1 has cut off the family and several life time friends including her late father family since we all turned her in for selling her pain meds and drinking on her medication. We have tried everything to get her help but you can't force them to get help if they don't want it. We just pray for her like crazy.

Son 2 is having sever pain in his feet and legs and throat. VA has tried meds, therapy etc. Sending him for more testing. He is military so worried about his job. Best would be, he doesn't get fired, worst would be he sells his house and moves home with us until he rebuilds.

Son 1 is working steady but said orders were down for the company he works for.

We have been hit week after week with below 30 freezes. Even with asparagus covered 100 ft by 4 ft. IT froze. We crossed our fingers that the crown is still okay and it at least grows ferns or we  will be replanting asparagus and waiting 2 years to start harvesting again. THANKFUL I harvested enough for freezer to go 18 months. I have enough to go through the year if I am careful.

My potatoes should have been planted last week in grow bags, glad I didn't as they would have froze. 

I didn't plant my golden raspberries as soon as they came in on Saturday night. Glad I didn't do that either. 

It has made it very clear that it's going to be a very hard year. 

 

Growing asparagus... ours just froze

 Plant in the early spring at correct depth, and wait 2 years before picking.  Do not fertilize until following year. DO NOT use manure. 

I will be doing this next spring, several 20 degree temps back to back has froze the entire 100 ft by 4 ft row.  The Amish that put it in orginally can't remember what variety he planted.

We have another round of freezing this weekend. Usually will only get a light frost this time of year that a good cover will take care of. 

We are hoping after this comes through that it stays warm and MAYBE fingers crossed, that it didn't kill the "crowns" and only the asparagus. SIGH. 

This is why I can/freeze/dry enough food for at least 18 months if not 2 years.
