This morning my sweet son-in-law (hence forward to be called 'just' my son) went up to our firearm instructor's range so I could try out a Springfield XD9. I'm looking to return my SCCY and replace it with something more reliable. I'm just in love. I must own one. Soon. Shoots like a dream!

| Raine wanted to shoot his new firearm while I was checking out the XD9. I just love quality time with my kids! |
 |
| LOVE this little baby! |
 |
| I'm a pretty darn good shot. |
A quick lunch and a stop at Home Depot for another big, expensive pot and citrus soil to plant my new little blood orange tree! I also bought a bunch of different product to try to make soil cubes so I can get my seedlings started.
While I was planting my orange tree, I threw my onion sets into a bucket of water to hydrate a bit. As soon as the orange was rehomed, I got busy getting the onions into the ground. I had 3 varieties for that garden, and there are three neat 25-ish foot rows of onionlings that I need to water tomorrow!

| Planted in a neat row, and put to bed with a little straw on top! |

Day wasn't done, yet! QUACK, QUACK, hollered my ducks. They wanted fresh water, so I complied. They aren't quite as spooked now that I convinced Kern to stop picking them up, and they even stood nearby and watched while I filled their pool. They are big (just over 8 weeks) now, and when the sun shines on the black ducks, you catch flashes of blue and green. Beautiful!

| I haven't figured out how to add a video yet, but you get a glimpse at least! |

After all that excitement, I decided to try to make some soil cubes. I'm anxious to get some seeds started. I followed the 'recipe' in the directions, but they are iffy at best. I think I'll just make a bunch of paper pots like I have in previous years. I need to find some newspapers...
