I’ve been putting it off far too long, but the yardwork has to be done sometime. I think I can take a day out to deal with this:
That started out as eight cubic yards of mulch — I think I moved one yard before I thought to take a picture.
Yep, that’s a snow shovel you see there. Like Alton Brown, I love a multi-tasker.
Now if I can just get through the day without being heat-stricken, falling over, throwing up, or roaching my back again, I’ll be set… and the backyard will look better than it ever has.

Marching instructions:
- Grab the nearest book.
- Open the book to page 23.
- Find the fifth sentence.
- Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
OK, sure:
“She swung broad on the slackening ebb, and Captain Aubrey moved over to the starboard rail, his telescope still trained on Portsmouth.”
Patrick O’Brien, “The Ionian Mission” – eighth in the Aubrey/Maturin series of novels. “Master and Commander” was the first of the series, “The Far Side of the World” the tenth.
