Ladders

Cleaned the neighbor's ladder of most of the paint I got all over it. She's sold the house, and wants to take her ladder back. I feel bad I was so messy, but it's a deep character flaw in me. I'm not naturally tidy, and I tend to call "good enough" fairly easily. But with something borrowed, I can't do much more than apologize and offer compensation. Neighbor scoffed, but I did show willing.

This afternoon, I pulled more plastic netted sod out, from under the layers of fall's leaves. Rather fun. And we have a lot more alive under there this year, assortment of worms and caterpillars, which is all good. A lot less plastic. I managed to refrain from laying down sunflower seeds, but the afternoon is young. I may yet plant, whatever the risks.

Planning on attacking weeds vigorously, and have already done so.


And we will need our own ladder, have it picked up already.


Happier for digging in the dirt. More Deep Holes!

I call 'good enough' more easily than my wife does which occasionally results in a point of conflict.

I have no plastic to pull out of my yard.

This past weekend I trimmed rather aggressively a crab-apple tree in my front yard.

We're getting more snow over the coming days, so my time for planting is still quite a ways off.
