It's a beautiful spring Sunday afternoon -- a hint of chilliness still in the air, with tomorrow's temperatures (forecast at 80) hinting at a summer to come.
Good weekend for some yardwork.
Besides the exercise we clearly got, I find that yardwork is incredibly satisfying. It's not always clear right away that a lot of work has been done, but something about digging in the dirt, erasing the dead leaves and detritus of a rather tough winter, is good for the mind.
We hit Home Depot yesterday to buy fertilizer, some patching materials, a little potting soil, and a few extra things along the way ... like a small fire pit. Might have to reward ourselves tomorrow with some good wine and a little heat after what will surely be a long day at work.
Three new experiences for Bich:
1. We fertilized a yard!
2. Brooke used a hedge trimmer! (Really, I shouldn't be allowed to play with power tools -- I might have had a little too much fun with it.)
3. We planted herbs! Rich straightened the sagging flower boxes and I refreshed the soil, and now we have two fresh boxes of cilantro and rosemary -- two of my favorite herbs. Looking forward to some well-seasoned steaks and fresh salsa.
