We had somewhere between 5 and 7 inches of rain last weekend, so this is the weekend coming up to begin digging. Soil was hard as concrete most of the winter. Our drought isn't over, but for gardeners, we can take a shot at moving things around now.

My neighbors have mowed on both sides of me now, so my tall weeds in the area we consider "lawn" are conspicuous. I need to dig a few holes and place some largish (5-10 pound) limestone rocks as markers flush with the lawn level so I can mow over them but still see the boundaries that the Invisible Fence broadcasts for my dogs. There have been little plastic flags on wires but those can't stay now that mowing season is here.

Allergies are in high gear, but I'm drugging them into submission and hope to have a successful weekend outside. I also found a great rocking chair at the curb in another neighborhood yesterday. It's in the garage, but needs to be reglued, sanded, and finished for my front porch or a garage sale, whichever appeals to me.
