Today’s adventures at home included:
- Buying two “Obama” shortbread cookies at Quack’s to cast L’s and my votes in the Retail Bakers of America’s cookie poll (current results: Obama leads 67-33 locally, 57-43 nationally)
- Assembling and filling an outdoor log rack
- Sealing up a couple of holes in the walls and skirting where I believe rats have been getting in
- Buying some crocus bulbs to plant down the borders of the front walk
- Buying trowels and a dibbler to try to root up the grass that’s invaded my rose bed
- Finding my other, better respirator
- Having a dinner date for tomorrow cancel due to an unexpected work call
- Wheezing due to all the mold I stirred up moving and stacking the logs without the respirator
Today’s adventures did not include:
- Sharpening the chain-saw blade
- Cutting up the enormous dead branch that fell off the Burkett pecan in the back yard, week before last
- Planting anything
- Weeding anything
- Chopping down the now-dead Roundupped bamboo, so I can spray the next section of it
- Building a fire in the chiminea (because I don’t have a chiminea, although I very much wish I did)
