Dave bought me a container garden and seeds for Mother’s Day, so I went ahead and planted all my vegetable seeds. We have no room to keep them indoors, so the covered containers are sitting out in the yard right now. Dave is going to build me a couple of raised garden beds to transplant them to. It’s easier to control the quality of the soil that way. We placed an ad on CraigsList looking for cedar fence boards, and a woman called to tell us she had a whole bunch for free, if Dave would just haul them away. They’re not new, but not damaged either, so now we’ll have a free cedar fence, and extra boards to build the garden beds.
That’s a real blessing, since we found out our stimulus check (part of which was originally going towards fence materials) will be delayed for at least another month. When we filed online with TurboTax, it asked us if we wanted the fees taken out of our refund, and we checked “yes”. That one choice means that our direct deposit came through TurboTax, not the IRS. So instead of getting a direct deposit in May, we have to wait for a paper check in July. It’s amazing the impact that one seemingly meaningless, little choice can make!
