So since the dishwasher is out of play...

... I spent the day gardening. I removed the old bark from the flower bed out front and started digging holes to plant flowers. Ugh. Disaster. Turns out that at some point in the past a tenant had ornamental rocks in the flower bed out front, then at some *later* point soil got put on top of the ornamental rocks, then bark got put on top of the soil... so anyhow, ended up moving a lot of dirt around to get most of the rocks out. But I got about half the flowers planted today and fresh bark spread amongst them, it looks good, a lot better than tired old bark with weeds growing inbetween, hopefully will be able to finish planting the rest later.

Off to go grocery shopping...

  1. I'd be careful. Your bourgeois life-style may be corrupting you.

  2. I am imminently corruptible, for the appropriate sums of money. Heck, at work they even pay me enough to write software on *Microsoft* platforms, despite me being, err, a Linux penguin!

  4. JzB, I ran out of daylight, and haven't seen daylight since due to things at work. So you'll just have to use your imagination and imagine yellow marigold-like flowers approximately 1 inch across on stalks around 8 inches tall, placed 10 inches part with a spray of green leaves, in a setting of redwood bark.
