My day started with a 4 mile run, followed by a couple hours of gardening, followed by an hour of shopping. Next up are two batches of banana bread to get rid of the nasty spotted brown bananas sitting on my counter, and then K and I will have homemade mac-n-cheese for dinner.The gardening included watering my seeded lawn as well as the new sod. And for the first time today I actually mowed the new sod. Wow – it looks just terrific. I am so glad I went ahead and got this taken care of and very glad I listened to my friend who suggested going with sod so that it’s all finished up nicely and in one fell swoop.
I also planted a bunch of Asian lilies, one of my favorite flowers. It looks like I may have over-bought when I bought 150 mixed bulbs. I have maybe 50 more to plant and am not quite sure where to put them. Typical. My eyes are bigger than my stomach…or than the size of my flower gardens. This will be next weekend’s project.
Finally, I moved my woodpile. The garden crew had moved it right next to the house, which was fine as a temporary stopping point. However, when the critter guy was here yesterday (placing six bait boxes for the mice around the perimeter of my house) he suggested it be moved – it’s a friendly home to too many things (not just critters, but of course termites as well).
Jake, by the way, has been my shadow today. What a guy.
