The weekend arrives. Not that that’s any different for me than any other day. It’s been sort of restful after yesterday.<\/p>\n
Wherein I did some minor modifications for CellarWebAds<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0make it slightly more efficient. And then, since\u00a0it was nice outside, I grabbed my boots and the weed whacker and cut down some of \u00a0the weeds on the empty back lot in the back yard. Cut down about a four-foot wide swath, in which the weeds are growing very nicely. Then some trimming work around the edges of the lawn, and started mowing the front yard. I got the front and sides done by lunchtime, so took a break to wander off to the golden arches (they have my favorite orange drink there).<\/p>\n By the time I made it through the road construction area back to the house, there were some dark clouds to the east that were rumbling a bit. I started on the back yard mowing, and mowed while hearing the rumble of thunder as the storm grew a bit closer. I finished the back yard, and sat on the covered back patio, and about ten minutes after finishing, it started raining with a bit of small hail. I enjoyed watching that for a bit until it started to get a bit too cool.<\/p>\n I also worked on the garden area on Thursday. We went to a local nursery and grabbed some more tomato, cucumber, and strawberry plants (which were cheaper and better than the ones I previously got at the local big-box store). The tomatoes and cucumbers I planted a couple of weeks ago didn’t survive the cold weather; I planted them a bit too soon, and didn’t get the plastic tent over them fast enough. So I removed the dead plants and planted the new ones.<\/p>\n The strawberries I planted a couple of weeks ago were just fine, though, so added nine more plants to that area. Then I fashioned some chicken wire to protect the berries from the local winged marauders. The weather is turning warmer, so I have good hopes for plants that grow.<\/p>\n Today has been sort of low-key. Some more work on CellarWebAds, a minor tweak to FoodieFeeds<\/a>\u00a0(a site for food blogs; the recipe for Strawberry Shortcake Cookies looks quite interesting), and some work on a new project.\u00a0 And a new digital background for this place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The weekend arrives.
