So the last two days have been pretty busy!  Yesterday was a brutal bike ride into work, it was about 35 degrees...COLD.  After I warmed up I pulled up some Scott's Broom around the office and worked on cleaning up an old shed.  While tearing poison oak off of it, which had been treated and killed already, I discovered a yellow jacket's nest.  I got some bee spray and took care of it, but it was quite a surprise!  Still, the shed had another surprise in store!  A snake had wrapped itself around a metal pump which had crushed him some how.  So this snake was lying down and scared me half to death, but it was actually dead.  Anyways, I then transplanted a bunch of lupines and worked for a little bit on moving some fragaria.  Matt and I hauled some tree branches to a local wood chipping place, and then I did some stuff on the computer.  I left a little early and biked about 9 miles to the frisbee field.  I played with the University of Oregon which was tons of fun.  After frisbee I went over to Lili, my little cousin's house, for her birthday.  We rolled sushi, ate cheesecake, and watched some of the debate.  Today the bike ride was a lot warmer.  I trimmed apple trees for the first portion of the day.  I then helped Matt and Jason unload corn seed.  A full ton I think.  After lunch I worked on pulling up the Fragaria and wrapping them in wet newspaper so they would keep for about a month before being planted.  I am baby sitting Henry (two year old I am staying with) tonight and taking of work tomorrow so I will be able to get a little more settled in.
