Sunday

Gardened the past two days. Today I'm taking it easy.

Put down bricks in place of the ugly stepping stones outside of the wooden gate. This morning I was surprised to see how much of the sand had washed out due to War and Cor's excessive watering. Have to address that issue.

Transplanted five rose bushes. Two rose bushes came from one plant that I had to split to extract from its spot. It had grown around a big root.

What else? Nothing much else. Warm today. 

I have a few other garden projects but I would like a day off.

Was going to make BLTs for lunch but discovered that we used the pound of bacon I thought I had on hand. Oh well. Maybe chicken sandwiches.

Friday, another sunny day. The kids had this week off.

Richard Darr delivered $200 worth of firewood, Flynn and I stacked that. Got that all cleaned up. Bribed the kids with lunch at McDonald's if they'd go to the good local nursery in Poway so I could buy some amendment.

I want to overseed the lawn, I've had the seed for a long time, but wanted to put down Kellogg's Topper with it. And water it like crazy. 

There are a couple of patches in the lawn that could be softer and more level, too.

The other day I planted the new lemon tree after transplanting the old dwarf lemon tree.

It's been warm, as warm as spring, so why not work in the garden?

Left a message for Laddie Blazek about properly wiring the fountain. Is the fountain level? I may end up re-leveling it.

Time to go back outside. Work until I'm thoroughly exhausted. I ought to clean the barbecue, too, I was going to grill some hot dogs for dinner tonight.

Good day to be alive.

Hot day in February

Monday afternoon.

Received an enormous check on Friday, deposited it today. Money is no longer screamingly tight.

Looking at a Nissan Titan again. A huge pyramid to hide in. The Prius is not too manly.

Cassidy was playing at a friend's house after school. I picked Flynn up at 3:15 on my own.

Awfully hot today. And yesterday. No rain in sight. This is winter?

Not happy about the heat.

Why would I want to swap my Prius for a giant truck? Does that make any sense? Does it have to make sense? I never go anywhere, anyway. Perhaps I should have just held on to the VW. Or the Santa Fe.

A giant truck? I couldn't park it in the garage, it's too big to fit in the garage.
