I’ve been plugging away with gardening tasks after work this past week. I laid out a second bed, which is going to be for herbs and pollinators. (Eventually, this will be all one long bed, but baby steps to that.) And then, I’m rather ridiculously proud that I set this up all by myself. The […]
These are the hexipuffs I got out of the Knitpicks Palette yarn – I am now officially depleted of those extras. (Don’t have a problem with the yarn, I just had a lot of it in incomplete amounts. My stash page in Ravelry looks noticeably shorter now.) In the spirit of using more stash –
The contents of the shrubbery next to the driveway became a little clearer over the course of the week. There are at least three distinct chokecherries, and today revealed a dogwood of the Swida persuasion. The cherries will be easy to keep – they’re in pretty distinct chunks.

This has been my project for several afternoons when it’s been nice after work – a corral for the leaf pile. I had to actually get it together, which I did around the larger left pile we had in the back corner, and then shift the rest of the pile into it, and close it
The latest home improvement project was one that I did not have to pay for, or execute. It involves this Norway maple right next to our driveway (and the neighbor’s driveway – those are their cars in the picture). And have I mentioned that’s where our power lines come over to the house from the
This is an interesting book. It follows Ivy – the non magic twin. Her sister Tabitha is the magic one, who basically left the family when they were young, and in whose shadow Ivy has since lived. Ivy is now a PI, and is called to the school where Tabitha teaches to investigate a murder.

It was nice after work on Thursday, so I went out at the end of my workday to tackle the shrubbery beside of driveway. (I started out working on my leaf corral, but the pile was too wet to completely move, so that’s only about half way done.) This little section is overrun with multiflora
