@cmajuscula my office mates are largely vaccinated, but I know for certain that some of the remaining unvaxxed are also not masking even though policy says they should. I have to meet with someone from IT who traveled here on a plane so he's a risk for sure. Air flow comes in from our labs and circulates through the offices; dust is abundant but our spaces are generally large and open so that helps. Hopefully, I can drop off the laptop and leave the area until the new one is ready to be tested.

@Knitpurrl Thank you :) N95 will be on the entire time.

Good morning everyone. Given the news headlines I've seen this morning, it looks like today might be a hard and frustrating day for some. Personally, I have to go in to the office for the first time in months. It's a risk I wish I didn't have to take. #coffee #maskup #breathe #vote

@alleygata maybe a chinese tallow tree?

@XanHart We've already moved two of those with a gorilla cart and 5 gallon buckets this year :) Two was enough...

@XanHart my back hurts just looking at that pile

Good morning beautiful people. Let the Monday morning coffee flow be strong and uninterrupted. Eid Mubarak

@GrandmaJ oh yes. I can't tell you how many peanuts I have sprouting in my lawn.

@GrandmaJ My neighbor feeds them and every so often they get brave and venture into our yard. If they happen to make it into the back yard with the dogs....well....it's not good for them.

@jds_again she is also of the opinion that fertilizer spikes make great dog treats...her horribly smelly gas would indicate otherwise. 🤢

@jds_again Thank you :) My dog is determined to do some gardening of her own...we have different ideas of what it means to garden 😂

@GrandmaJ thank you! we work hard to make it our oasis because we spend most of our time at home and don't travel. Doggo somehow decided this was the year to terrorize the garden. She's never had much interest before. Thankfully, the fences seem to be working so far although I'm sure she could get over them if she was determined.

And for those of you who have followed the dog drama....the fences and the reason for the fences #gardening

@Jeber Last year our melons took over the entire patio. I am hoping the squash is a similar experience; I love spaghetti squash.

The spaghetti squash is doing great #gardening

@GrandmaJ the six on the right are peppers, some bell pepper and some other varieties from some seeds a friend sent me. The two back left are eggplant and they are slow growing this year for sure. The left middle is acorn squash. The rest are my replacement beans because my dog destroyed the last batch.

@emilystlstl I'm starting over on my beans because the dog destroyed them; thankfully they are easy to germinate. And I have this one overachiever tomato....

@Auzinste thank you! Our weather is just now starting to cooperate although we've been getting a lot of windy storms that are a bit brutal for the smaller plants.

The seedlings are coming along nicely. First I couldn't get any peppers; now I have six + 4 more not yet in soil....not sure where I'm going to put them all. #gardening
