I fully intended to spend another hour or so painting the front steps this morning, but waking up and finding myself with nowhere I had to go felt so good after being out of the house by 8:00 am three mornings this past week I was overcome with inertia and let myself enjoy having nothing to do.
Not that I did nothing; there's always watering to do, which takes an hour and a half, and will do so until I either get myself a cup of white vinegar and a toothbrush and scrub all the minerals off the holes in the irrigation system they're plugging up or pay someone to completely redo the irrigation system, which is the way it's been for about two years.
There were plants I bought on Friday to put in and shade cloth to wrap around the ones I put in yesterday, rocks to gather to construct what I've decided will replace the bit of the rock wall that caved in last year, many weeds to attempt to pull and much pondering over what to do with the *upper garden* I had enclosed two - three? - years ago, but by staying home and staying off the Internet I managed to avoid the spending lots of money trap and all I bought was another year's subscription to astrodienst, which is the main engine behind my being able to write this sometimes less-than-fascinating blog.
