patable2010WEDNESDAY
Yardwork this afternoon, leveling and sifting an old compost pile thus clearing the area in the back yard where we'll be moving perennials and tulips to as we empty the front flower beds. As neither of us are doing well at weeding on the level these will be reseeded to grass. I called Joe Howard and he came over with his son and took those iris he wanted; nearly half of 'em. We've passed the word in the barony to clear out any iris they want this week. Only the Thyme and peonies will stay in the front corner. Daffadils and windflowers will be allowed to naturalize through the grass.
Leofwyna talked with Marty about the apple tree coming out this fall. He suggests we rent a chipper to chip the branches and he'll take the logs and half the chips for doing the work. That would give us enough apple wood chips for the front around the yew bushes. He'll also cut out that last fence post we can't shift. Sounds like a good idea.
Tonight was the third ocarina A&S night for glazing our instruments. I chose green with a brown-red belly for mine. Talked with Gerald about picking up the concrete blocks asap and he thinks he'll be able to get them in the morning. Afterward Leofwyna and I went with Natalya and Sarafina for supper at Noodles. I really enjoyed the Mushroom stroganoff noodles with braised beef. I think Sarafina will be a fine addition to our barony... she's got a young family, two sons, and is interested in cooking.
Naturally I finished off the evening breaking down a few more sample books. The end is in sight for this process; some time during the next few days.
