The garden is finally done. Well, mostly done, there’s still
some leftover dirt that has to be cleaned up, and a big pile of rocks
that has to go somewhere, but the garden itself is finished. Yesterday
we put in the edging, the rest of the dirt, and the manure, and made a
little rock-garden to put the pots of cucumbers on, and today I planted
all the seeds.
I’m pretty happy with how it came out. It took quite a bit of work,
and its not quite straight, but its still nice. Hopefully things will
actually grow in it. The stray cats that we have certainly enjoy it,
they either play in the dirt, or with the string that we have marking
the rows. We want to find something to put out in it to keep the
animals away. Supposedly things like chimes, or a pinwheel, will work
fairly well for some animals, but we haven’t found anything we liked.
We spent quite a while the last couple days out shopping, looking for
something to use and just for other general stuff. I got a 40lb set of
weights for dumbells, so I can move up from the dinky weights we had
around the house. That should hold me until I am sick of doing it. If I
get to the point that I can do all my exercises with 20 pounds in each
hand, I’ll be happy. There’s no reason to aim for more than that.
We’ve also been trying to find stuff for Easter. I’m not sure what
we’re going to do, if anything, other than eat ham and eggs. We still
haven’t put away the Christmas decorations yet, they’re on the couch in
the living room. At least the tree is gone finally.
Not much else new here. I just finished my daily exercise routine,
and tomorrow is my day off. It’s always weird to not do it when I do it
the other 6 days each week. I feel like there’s something else I should
be doing. I haven’t lost any weight this week, or even gained a little,
because I didn’t do as much exercises as I usually do (since I spent
the time gardening) and ate much more than I usually do. We’re counting
it as a holiday week though, since Easter is coming, and will do better
next week.
