Hil, feel better. The weird ups and downs of the weather are reminding me of where all of my aches and pains are.

I went to PT this morning, and TCG is currently at a day long conference for work. Not our funnest Saturday ever, but I'm currently waiting for him to come home so that we can find some zeppole for St Joseph's Day, which will hopefully be much more fun.

Just spent an hour digging up what will be a flower bed. Yanking out weeds is surprisingly therapeutic.

Also, using my mom's old tools. That made me happy. I'm planting daffodils and irises, which she liked. I planted some of her lilies here last year, and they're already starting to come up.

Sounds lovely, Zenkitty.

Nice, Zenkitty.

Hey, I just updated my resume and I think it needs serious pruning. It's over three pages. Anyone up for taking a look?

RIP, Knut the polar Bear

Yay for re-bedding mom's flowers. What a perfectly lovely symbol of rebirth, growth, and the flowering of hope. I got a big delivery of dirt yesterday (friend's parents were in town with the tacoma so we took advantage of the "haul your own" mega discount - $20 for a truckload of 4way topsoil, compost, mulch and sand!) so my new mini beds (recycled deep drawers) are full and the dents in my front yard from the new sewer and waters lines are all filled in with some leftover for enriching. Imma gonna plant so many pretty bulbs this fall!!!!

Ye gods how i love repurposed drawers for mini raised beds. they are perfect for sprawling squashes (cuz the vines can totally sprawl on the concrete, not taking up valuable dirt real estate, making the fruits easier to pluck) and super easy to turn/till/add compost....plus they are just light enough to drag if for some reason i wanted to. which i don't. I need to hit the liquor store, see if they have some of those wooden champagne boxes for greens. i love growing my own veggies!

RIP, Knut the polar Bear

Aww, that's sad.

Zepolle, has been achieved along with a yummy cappuccino.

Aww, poor Knut.
