Made pretty good progress the past few days getting the soil amended. Digging it in inch by inch. Bag after bag of chicken manure. Bought a means-business claw tool to cultivate the soil. Breaking up clods of earth and hunks of clay. Overall the soil is not so bad. I had wanted to amend it inch by inch when we laid the sod.
Do it right. I look forward to having a lawn to walk barefoot on this summer.
Drinking absinthe. Mixed some extract with some vodka and sugar. Drizzled ice-cold water over a sugar cube very slowly into half a glass of the liquor. Interesting effect so far. Mental acuity. Verbal dexterity.
Built a fire in the fireplace. Put away the foam mat I kneel on and the cultivator and the trimmers and the rake and the fork. Wait for the soil to dry out a bit again and then get back to work.
Monday or Tuesday or next weekend. Get it done eventually.
