Got up EARLY on a day off, went to help a friend do some heavy labor on his newly purchased rehab home.

spent 1 hour trimming back a WAY overgrown red-leaf barberry bush.

bled from said barberry

dug a 5 foot by 8 foot by 2 foot drainage ditch, hauled the dirt away

hauled gravel to fill it back in, filled in and leveled.

Placed paving stones over the gravel

mowed

dug up an overgrown flower bed

all that and I managed NOT to be the guy that stepped on the rusted nail


Home now and freshly showered, looking forward to the supper my roomie is cooking!


Tomorrow? pj's ... all day long!
