The weather here has been absolutely glorious for the last several days.

The porch is mostly painted, and it now has flower boxes and hanging planters all planted with golden pansies. The garden is partially dug and planted, and the seedlings that came up are doing very well. I found some landscape cloth that is way heavier, comes in vastly larger rolls, has an 8 year (I think) guaranteed lifespan, and is waaaayyy cheaper than any other hardware cloth I've found so far (yay!). The acupuncture allergy treatments have been helping a lot and I'm having what may be the last one this afternoon. The repair costs of one of our cars have begun to exceed its value so we decided to replace it, but we didn't have to spend anywhere near as much on a replacement car as we thought we would, and we didn't have to incur debt to do it (yippie!).
