We went to Target today and MAC DID NOT MELT DOWN!
If only I could go to Target and not melt down.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

“Not dead yet!”
Ankle also seems to be surviving. I walked around and was on my feet for about an hour afterwards, making dinner, but after sitting for awhile, when I went to stand back up, it told me to fuck off. So I currently have it elevated and downed a bunch of ibu.
Lewis basically said that if I had broken my ankle, it would definitely win as the dumbest injury I've ever suffered and this is considering I've suffered my share or really dumb injuries.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We spent the day spreading 40 bags of cedar mulch over our back area and putting soil and compost in the raised planter (with a break to run to BK for lunch and Lowe's for more mulch). We are going to actually PLANT things tomorrow, as we are both too damn tired to do anything more tonight. Looks and smells good, though!

Exciting Scrappy! I love making beds and planting. I am hoping to make twi raised beds this summer.
Speaking of which, I accidentally weeded some phlox out this afternoon. It was only in my second bed that I realized it was something I planted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Gardening is hard work, but it's satisfying in so many ways. It gives you instant gratification when you finish a job like planting a plant or weeding, happiness when you watch a flower go from bud to bloom, and long term inspiration as you see plants grow and change over years. That nature shit is cool!

Eating from your own garden is great too. Though I suspect that I should really have my soil tested for lead. I guess most of the soil here is high in lead?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty sure what we learned when trying to grow stuff in my childhood was that anything that grew above the ground was OK (tomatoes, herbs), and stuff underground just didn't grow (carrots), which was a good thing anyway.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
When I was a gardener, I also got to feel like I was in Little House on the Prairie. I once fought to save my poor little lettuces from hail by covering them with a shower curtain and bricks. And I yelled at rabbits!

Because books.
Garv grew some delicious tomatoes last year, and he's done pretty well with herbs. My favorite thing was the fruit trees we had in Florida when I was in middle school, though. Walking outside to pluck a mango or a lemon was just awesome.
