I cleared the weeds and carried pails of rocks to cover the area. I also brought a bunch of red bricks to use as border or decoration. The area is about 6 feet long and up to 3 feet deep. I would like to say I have moved all the cement blocks here but I haven't. Only one so far. I also have 2 bags of dirt by the front door. Jose brought it yesterday. I pulled the main plants I want to use.
And
I also want to include some flowers for color.
This is the planter the cactus came from with the beautiful big flower so I want to use a couple shoots from this. Considering the number of plants, 20 blocks may not be enough. I do have a few more in front of my porch.
It's Wednesday and I should be reporting on my sewing ladies but I cancelled today. I haven't had any quiet, alone time in a while and this has been a busy week. Except for connecting with Ziomara either here or in Cartago so I can give her the hat, I don't have any event scheduled until Tuesday when my busy days start again. There won't be anything Thursday as it is a holiday, Independence Day. That will give me time to play with my planter and get something baked. That is if I don't get lost in the soccer field. You would not believe how long the grass is. Gerardo was showing a young man around today so I don't know if that was about mowing or spraying or what. They keep everything organic and don't use any chemicals.
Michael's just had a 4 hour, 40% off, online only sale so I ordered a bunch more yarn. I can just see the airline wondering why my suitcase only weights 10 pounds. I also put in the order for Heather to bring 30 pounds of yuca flour with me. No jelly or coffee this trip.
I will have to include a quick trip to Brainerd for a new birth certificate and to St. Paul to the Secretary of State. Hopefully I can do it all in 2 days so I have the weekend to pack up a bunch of suitcases for me and Heather and Kent.
I think I have everything I need to make meatloaf for dinner. First I think I will carry more rocks.
