Our Sunday Globe wasn't out front. I called and within 15 minutes someone dropped one off, that's service!
I spent yesterday working on the front yard (man, am I sore now). I weeded the whole thing, moved a bunch of plants, and threw a way a few dead/ugly ones the former homeowners put there. After all was said and done it looked much neater and there was space for a couple of bushes. I grabbed a small spruce and 2 small holly bushes from Home Depot, planted, laid down landscaper's cloth and remulched the whole thing (phew). For not a lot of money and a bit of elbow grease its looking very nice, and should be easier to maintain. Now we just need to get some mason's cement and repair some of the bricks that have broken off the edging wall (next weekend).
We also picked up the wood for the den shelves and while I did the landscaping Brian measured, cut, sanded and stained them. They were left to dry/get the smell out overnight and we'll put them up in the den tonight. Whoot! The place will look more like a library :)
I love weekends - free time is the best. We hit The Crypt in Everett last night and it was spooky as usual, with a little better music mix, some more friends/people, and a small performance. The organizers are really trying to make the place work; the two performers walked around to every patron asking what they thought of the performance and if they had any suggestions for the place. I told them they had to have a halloween party (given the crazy decorations) and that Voltaire had to play there.
Today will bring putting up the shelves, visiting gram, playing with Leia buns, and veging while I stir sauce for hours. Man, I didn't know that 13 lbs of tomatoes added up cost wise so fast! Now, once canned how long can they sit? They aren't vacum sealed like the store stuff (we're putting sausage in too) . . .
