First warm day of the year
Saturday, March 1st, 2008 09:57 pmLast night in the shower I designed the new bathroom vanity. So this morning we arose at a reasonable hour for a Saturday (9 instead of the usual 11) and trotted over to the steelyard. I found the pieces of twisted, rusty steel I wanted, save a small odd bit for a knob, and scratched the head of a giant rotty dog.
We hit up a few asian markets to find seeds and pocky and to do my homework.
Home Depot is lacking in gazebo and stone pot departments.
The goal for the day was prepping the garden and cleaning the front yard. We demolished parts of the gazebo. We hauled last years compost pile onto the garden then watered and black-plasticed the whole 16x30 plot until late April. My sister got her driver's license last week (HORRAY) so she drove over to "help." She usually gets in the way. John gave her a sledge hammer and they went to town on the brick BBQ pit. Teenagers need destructive physical labor to tire them out and prevent moodyness. I moved the woodpile, cleaned the front yard and gathered leaves for the compost pile.
We retired to a Chinese restaurant, then saw Juno.
