Noisy around here.

We're having the HVAC ducts cleaned.

They needed it.

It's a time-consuming process (what with the large number of ducts), and quite loud, which is not conducive to productivity, nor to much else.

But, I can't really wander off and do yard stuff.  Maybe I should go read on the back deck.

Meanwhile, some of the seeds I so recently planted in the un-irrigated zone of the Victory Garden are starting to sprout.  Unfortunately, so are a heck of a lot of weed seeds.  This'll call for some hoe work once the intended plants are recognizable.  (There are two largish patches I neglected to tag.  I think one is Oregon Sugarpod II peas and the other is soybeans.  The probably-soybeans are starting to come up.  I planted those... Monday?  That's some pretty quick results.)

 

Addendum:  Apparently this is National Dog Bite Awareness Week.  Do they have awareness weeks for cat scratches and chicken pecks?

 

Update:  Took a long time, but they finally finished.  The cats are still in hiding.  (The chicks and the pigeon thought it was all good fun.)

And, today's postal parcel included a kilo of mung beans, supposedly sproutable.  Guess I'll plant a patch of those, and put the remainder in the pantry.

"National Dog Bite Awareness Week"? Where did you find that out? I'm curious...

It was in the daily e-mail from the USPS, along with the usual pictures of the day's expected mail.
