Sorry for the radio silence last couple days. I've been living the high life. Well, not that anybody'd notice, but to me, it's been bliss. Quiet, slow, pleasant. Visits from friends and neighbors, good food, lots of comic work. And the weather's been ideal, a mix of rain and sun with temperatures around 75-80F during the day and 50-60F at night, what we Michiganders call "good sleeping weather".
The patio's almost done. The waterfall's done, and the rest of the backyard just needs a little more landscaping and plants planted. Katya's going to use the remaining bluestone to make a stepping stone walkway into the sideyard, which will be gorgeous.
The peppers seem to be recovering from their pillbug attacks, so the d.e. must be working, at least to some extent. The tomatoes continue to surprise the heck out of me. They're putting out flowers and are all pushing five feet tall. Go maters go.
Not much else to report. I like boring, though. Too much of the excitement I've had in the last few years has been negative; I'll take boring over that any day.
Just had to say i thoroughly agree with the boring comment! i love the days with nothing to do but play with the cats and clean the apartment and, gods forbid, sit with a good book for a few hours!
