Yesterday was get the really hard stuff done day. I planted the beginnings of the garden - I have to wait til payday to get the rest of what I need to finish, but it's looking good so far. Tomatoes (3 kinds) sweet peppers (2 kinds), butter nut squash, Japanese eggplant, Italian parsley, basil, lavender, thyme, oregano. The lavender and perennial herbs I am going to use in a plan to disguise the small mound of shale from the dry well adventure. I'm going to dig out holes in the mound and fill them with good soil - like containers, and plant the herbs there. Maybe add a water feature. The thyme I am hoping will creep & cover the mound.
After the garden, I cut the grass - completely shocking Bill. Call it an anniversary present. I just wanted the yard to look good. The kids romped and turned their paws green. I then finally got the huge amount of laundry under control.
Today is get my study in order and get crafty day. My study tends to be used as a storage place and now needs some order. Then I can finally get the doggy donation vests I promised someone 2 months ago finished. My knitting group meets tonight too.
After getting all of this responsible stuff done, I am hoping the rest of the week can be utter relaxation, working out, and maybe a few doggy hiking trips.
Beats going to work.

Well, here in my yard, it is mostly clay & rock, so rosemary has not done so well, because it likes drainage too. No drainage in this yard. It fact, we had to put a dry well in last year to help the water absorb into the ground. I love culinary herbs and anything edible. I am on a hunt now for nasturtiums - pretty and yummy. gotta get some greens too.
Whoa....green pawed Siberians. That's an interesting combo!
