We finally got a weekend with everyone healthy.
After a trip to Home Depot we went home and started on the back yard. AB rented a rototiller and amended and broke up our soil. Leif and I planted four planters/baskets in the back. And it was HOT.
99F.
Sunday we planted some more ground cover under the fruit trees - something I have been meaning to do for a few years now. I just so happened to find the type I wanted while shopping Saturday.
We planted the garden... three tomato plants, three broccoli plants, six or so peppers of different varieties (something came over AB, peppers suck in our garden, always have) and Leif planted his little packet of carrots by dumping the entire contents of one packet into his little 12" trough.
We will thin.
We also planted six beautiful pumpkin seeds. We will also thin here. Probably down to two plants eventually.
Two more planters out front. Then a foray into the sprinkler with the kids.
And just to drive it home a little harder? I had not a scrap of dirty laundry in my house for a whole two hours.
And now?
Now I am ready to collapse.
