So this is weird. I was just out trying to reclaim a garden bed from the grass that's overtaking it. And I dug up a pill bottle filled with quarters. The latest quarter is dated 2011 and I moved in here in 2007. It's definitely not mine. [link]

It makes me want to simultaneously dig up the rest of the garden, and complete the last 10% of the fence to my backyard so no more weirdos wander in to bury their money.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I love it. Was it definitely buried, or maybe someone just lost their laundry money and it made its way under some dirt? Anyway, finders keepers.

Also, did anyone else read the Rainbow-Cake Recipe comment saga? Someone did a meta-analysis of the comments on a recipe. hilarious! [link]

And then the comments on that article devolve as fast! [link]

Jesse, as usual, I read the article but not the comments. Hilarious that his devolve too.

Sue, the gardener who used to be the gardener at this house before we moved in has apparently been letting himself in the backyard via the gate to pick fruit off the trees.

So I relate to your garden confusion.

WTF people? No trespassing.

Dang, Kat, that is creepy and weird. Also, you are up very early for a Sunday! I am awake but want to go back to sleep. But suspect my sister and BIL are awake and don't want to make them wait for me. Being on the Internet for the past 20 minutes hasn't helped me feel more awake though n

You're so bourgeois, Kat. Nature is for the people! I'm sure he just doesn't recognize your "gates" and "fences."

I have breakfasted and put in a load of laundry! Today is a better day.

It was buried, but not very deeply. I was using an edger to cut away some of the sod there and it was at least a couple of inches under the surface. It's a garden bed that I dug out, but I've kind of neglected the last few years. So if it was put there 3 years ago, it may have been overtaken by grasses and dirt.

But, my yard has two completely fenced yards and it's 90% fenced in itself. That garden bed abuts city owned land but it's 20 feet to my fence and a fairly steep incline from the sidewalk, so it rarely actually has people on it.

WTF people? No trespassing.

Seriously people. And if you're going to bury money in my yard, leave much larger amounts!

Jesse, I'm so sorry about your dad.

All I find is shells, chip bags, fossilized dog poop and old magnetic fridge letters.

Motivating to start cleaning. WIshing the caffeine would kick in. Manage to get in a fitful sleep-in, but slow to get moving. (When in my life did 9:30 become sleeping in?)

Our wings are not tired.

When in my life did 9:30 become sleeping in?

Seriously! I was unable to sleep part of the night and was determined to sleep in to make up for lost time. 6:30 had to feed the dog as she doesn't get the whole sleep in thing. Went back to bed but still couldn't force myself to stay longer than 8. Wish I was a nap person.
