Memorial Day—in Coats

Saturday was croquet, but it rained so hard at one point that we had to take a porch break. And you know how fanatic we are about croquet in all weathers. On Sunday, we try to get a little more work done on the pad. Rick cuts and spreads the metal while Buddy supervises.
Very nice! It's about ready to pour cement into, if the weather ever allows.
Dean brought us even more fava beans, which I made into hummus.
 By Monday, we're back to doing what we do best.
 But is the weather back to normal? Not even. Notice the coats in the above photo. It barely gets up to 60 degrees by midday.
At least it wasn't windy, which was a nice change! It's been windy most days for the last 3-4 weeks, which gets really tiresome. But we felt safe burning a fire and took advantage of the opportunity to burn up some old rotten trellis wood... and stay warm!
We also proceeded with the weeding around the shed. We got the porch area all weeded up, then we spread newspaper and put down fresh chips.
I put in the zucchini starts (in a hill at 7a)

And tucked the sweet peppers in between the onion rows in row 4a.
