Well, I'm beat- and really outta shape. But I got a lot accomplished and love it.

This weekend I:

Faux finished and installed a small decorative shelf in the guest bath
Did a metric ton of laundry- getting ready to put winter stuff away.
Installed an overhead light fixture in my sewing room. (This was quite comical because my step stool isn't quite tall enough...)
Installed curtain tieback hooks in two bedrooms.
Purchased and loaded (no help from Home Depot employees grrr) transported and unloaded 920 lbs of hummus/manure, peat moss, sand and soil. This took two trips.
Purchased, loaded (with the help of the local lumber yard employees *yaaay*), transported, unloaded, and moved to the backyard 32 cinderblocks. Again two trips.
Primed and painted said cinderblocks a strange shade of green.
Planted my shade bulbs in their pots: astilbe, VA bluebells, and a shrubby poppy.
Made fun of Doughboy. (The footers are now seven blocks tall...)
Vacuumed and did floors.
Made a cheesecake, a batch of yogurt dough, and cooked 5 lbs of hamburger.

Am gonna sleep well tonite. Uploading pictures of the garden's progress and Doughboy's engineering monstrosity will have to wait for another day.

Hey, take that back. What'd I ever say bad about you!
