Catonsville, Thursday July 4
Well, the weekend was a good and productive one. The Fourth was kind of blown by the work situation, but we made the most of the rest of the weekend and had a good time. There are updates on the planters- lots of good news and good luck there, and there is joy in Mudville. Jen and I happened on a massive sale of dirt at Home Depot (and those of you who garden know how frickin’ expensive dirt is) where they had pallet loads selling for $10. Pallets covered with bags of dirt. So we bought about 800 lbs. of dirt and hauled it home. Finished are the two square planters and the front circle planter; long with the dirt I bought about $80 worth of pretty flowers and herbs and we put them all in on Sunday, through clouds of yellow smoke from the Canadian forest fires.
