Frank still thinks I’m nuts, but I worked my tail off today putting in that new bed where the lilacs I planted aren’t going to make it. I think it is probably twenty feet long, and it entailed much digging up of sod and dirt, hauling of much crap, and generally hard, physical labor. I

I hate it when I travel in October, and somehow it seems to happen every year. I’ve been gone for nine days, and I missed my favorite season! Peak has come and gone while I’ve been out in California and Texas. And of course, the weather is so rainy and wet that we are constantly

Whew, it’s hot out there. I am not, however, complaining. We’ve had so much rain (almost 8 inches so far this month alone) that I haven’t been able to really do much in the garden, so I’ll take hot over hot and raining any day. We went out into the garden pretty early this morning,

We were outside every possible minute today, trying to get things ready for the garden tour. I’m slowly feeling like I’m getting it under control, though. There are still lots of iris in bloom, with the Siberian ones just coming out. There are a bunch of these in the shallow parts of the pond’s waterfall,

We finished the compost bins today. We made pretty quick progress, actually. From bags of coffee grounds to finished compost bin, hopefully brewing away, in two days. And the best part, according to my Yankee Husband, is that we didn't spend a penny. All made from scraps in his wood pile, which never seem to get any smaller. I layered the coffee grounds with alternating layers of leaves and wood ash, and Frank hauled over some of our mulch pile with some dirt, to try to jump start it. I feel like I need to add something else, but I'm not sure what. We only half filled one bin, though the temptation to get some more from the coffee shop is very strong. Maybe next week.

So, I’ve been meaning to take notes about the status of the lawn. Overall, I’m telling myself that it’s not too bad for the one year old it is. But really, it looks like it’s only one year old. Just before we cut it, it might be called lush looking, in a few spots. But
