Exuberance Abounds

sidhefire came down from WA today and we had a mighty fine time! She brought a couple of plants, a packet of nasturtium seeds, a dozen colorful fresh laid eggs from her chix, a great soul catcher made by ulesegisa, and a delightful willingness to help out. Again w/the balance: we wandered down Hawthorne Blvd to lunch at BridgePort AleHouse, poking our heads into Powell's Home & Garden Bookstore (w/out too much damage) on the way back, then got down to brass tacks. A mess of books now reside properly in shelves rather than boxes. A bunch o' boxes of camping etc. gear now live in the basement, where they belong. I've got floor space in the living room. I'm so pleased that a whole bunch of my old cardboard boxes will live on in better things as they wing their way up to WA to become part of sustainable agricultural practices (wet ground, lay out cardboard, top w/bark mulch, let worms do their thing...make grass go away and make good growable area for other stuff as desired and clean ground cover otherwise). We drove up and around Mt Tabor Park then dined at Hoda's then sat in the living room w/tea, chatting and making plans and having a fine ole time. Wheee!

EDIT: Topping it all off, today was a gloriously warm day w/sunshine and clouds dotting the sky to keep it interesting!

What a beautiful day. ^__^ Mine was gloriously warm and sunshiney too.

I didn't know that about cardboard boxes. Finds that fascinating.

Yeah, I read about the cardboard trick a couple years ago. It's the only thing that prevented my garden area from being ENTIRELY overrun with weeds for the past year. It's brilliantly simple!

Yes, THANK YOU, I KNEW I'd seen it done somewhere but had forgotten where 'til just now.

That's my job, keeping other people sane. ;P

Yay! for good friends helping out. Your move sounds like it is turning out to be a wonderful choice. I love the re-use of the cardboard boxes!
