I feel like grilling this evening - it's a pretty day out - so I have a couple of things thawing for later and I'm going to clean up the back patio, make it look more inviting. I've also been trying different week-killing approaches back there, I poured boiling water with vinegar on some weeds in the cracks of bricks and seem to have killed them. I'll give it another test this afternoon in a couple of other spots as well. The garden is stirring from the winter torpor - more weeds, and my raised beds need attention. I ate a serving of asparagus from my garden for dinner last night. :)

The usual chores await, and the shopping list is growing long. I conducted some online comparisons of chipper/shredders for the yard this morning, looking for positive reports of the more affordable models. That would save me time and effort in a number of ways in the yard.

A couple of more eBay items about to end, one will go in the recycle bin if it doesn't sell, the other, I'll probably relist, possibly lower the price. I have more to list here in my ongoing online garage sale.
