This and That

In between all of the sewer chaos, travels, readings and end of school prep, we're getting the garden ready.  We had a load of compost dropped in our driveway to split with our neighbor and the boys helped load the wheelbarrow.  As of this afternoon, the driveway is empty again!  Tim is disappointed he won't have a big pile of dirt to poke at with big sticks anymore.





This afternoon, Steve and I ran rope up to the eaves to grow hops.  The purpose is to shade the south side of the house (particularly Joe's window), but I'm thinking Steve is really planning to trade home grown hops for good home brewed beer.


Batsy was puzzled by Steve being on the roof.  She could hear him, but it took her a while to find him. 

Two days of school left for the boys and four for Steve.  Summer, here we come!

  1. The yard and house are looking great. I especially liked the Batsy photo and story.

  2. First real day without smoke, but I can see it on the horizon....

    You know what they say, "I like poetry, wlaks on the beach and poking dead things with sticks."

  3. We all know these hops are the beginning of something good!
