It's a beautiful morning. I had laundry out on the line all through all that rain, so I brought in half of it and ran it through a spin cycle. It's done now, so I'll go hang it out and bring in the rest to spin ( Read more... )

I am hot and sweaty and probably seriously grubby and happy.

1. Start load of laundry
   
2. Take Adam's new weed-slasher and knock back the weeds
   
3. Mow the lawn - Not all of it, but all of it that I'm going to do today
   
4. Rake the dog yard
   
5. Finish clearing off the patio

My hands are dirty. I just pulled weeds and vines and brambles, moved the chicken run over to the newly-cleared area, helped Adam stack newly cut and split firewood, and moved a bunch of as-yet-uncut logs to the staging area. Tomorrow I shall pull more weeds and vines and brambles, and the chickens shall be helping me reclaim currently- ( Read more... )

Today is the sort of early summer day one dreams of in the dead of winter. I spent nearly an hour this morning just sitting in my garden and listening to the breeze. I pulled a few weeds, harvested a bit of mint and petted Lily, but mainly I just sat and enjoyed my garden. Yes, I see lots of weeds (mainly grass), but I see a lot more flowers, ( Read more... )

*yawn* I didn't really have a Shavuot, per se. I more like had a heatwave with David at home. Festive meals? Bleep that, it's too hot. You vill eat salad, and you vill like it ( Read more... )

Good morning all. Feels like it's going to be a scorcher today. I might still do some digging in the garden, but I might just focus on tidying up inside instead. I do need to get everything watered, though, cos I didn't water yesterday ( Read more... )

It's Spring. It's morning. It's a beautiful day. Yay ( Read more... )

I did some digging. The bed is a bit over half done, and I really need to find myself some mroe rocks for the edge. I have lots & lots of small ones, but not enough big ones. I wonder if I got a set of these, would I be strong enough to use them? That'd be one way of getting rocks the size I want ( Read more... )

I'm out digging the bed that is going to be my bush bean and melon/squash bed. I also finally heard back from the plastic surgeon. My surgery date is tentatively set for 7 August at 7:30 AM, and I need to be at the hospital at 6:00 AM. Which hospital? Oops. Forgot to ask, so I'm trying to call them back. The phone's busy, though ( Read more... )
