Good morning everyone!

Coffee is ready and breakfast is too...



I've got a day of conference calls today (my poor ears), and am looking forward to this evening (when Scoote and I may head out to the movies). Hope you're able to relax some Zimmy....you've had a busy, busy time lately.

Anyone making early plans for the weekend yet?

After pulling the cats off the top of the fence (again) and filling the hole Grayson dug underneath it (again), I'm thinking that I'm just going to really hunker down and finish as much as I physically can of this yard project.

We're pounding in edging, laying down compost to improve the soil around the plantings along the fence, layering cardboard (to kill the grass and weeds and also make a discouraging "kitty digging" barrier for a little while anyway), then covering with a thick layer of mulch. The goal is to end up with a weed-free, maintenance-free, much prettier area along the edge of the yard...which will also improve the plants as well by composting and retaining some of the moisture with the mulch. We managed to do one corner so far, but it's hot and sweaty work for sure.

I've been speaking to Rooster every night while he's in DC. The conference is going well, but he's tired from the long days. When we spoke last night he was distracted by the laughing and talking that he was participating in with his group...so that's a good thing. He did say that he wanted more time in the museums then they got though...so we might be making a family trip back to do some more leisurely museum visits.

Hope you all have a great day!
