THURSDAY

So midday I headed over to walk the shar peis for Leofwyna (She's house/dog sitting for a week for a friend from work who's on vacation) and without this break for them it would have been fourteen hours.  That's a long time for dogs to wait I think.  These are big, good natured animals and we take a five block walk around the block (don't ask, it's just a wierd block).  Then later in the afternoon I got the entire lawn mowed since the weather prediction says it'll be even warmer Friday and may rain.  I also pulled the rest of the radishes.  I had to throw a bunch of them on the compost as they'd gone to seed and/or gone woody.  Way past time to seed more.

FRIDAY

Leofwyna borrowed Mike's pickup and we loaded stuff to take to the dump... the old entertainment center, a broken down upholstered rocker and footstool, the old broken down wet vac, several old landscape timbers, a couple concrete lumps, a pile of big branches and some old carpeting.  Good riddance.  After a breather she went back into the garage setting up for the rummage and I weedwhacked between the raised beds and then cut back the overgrowth 'in' the raised beds.  The backyard is looking rather more civilized right now and I'm thoroughly worn out.
