Another productive day yesterday. Jeri came over and photographed a whole bunch o' stuff that Tom intends to eBay. (She should really put "photo stylist" on her resume -- some things like a small crystal souvenir "vase" or something was very, very tricky to shoot without reflections or glare.)

After she left I cut more brush -- up behind the rock garden and then down to the back of the back flower bed. Then, when I thought I was too zonked to do anything more, I raked four huge piles of leaves up from around my hammock "room" under the hemlocks. Later today, if it doesn't rain, I'll transfer each pile to a tarp and drag the leaves to some place more convenient for them to decompose.

The hammock just got put up this weekend. It was a birthday present from Tom two or three years ago to replace the one that finally rotted away after 15 years of use. But I didn't really have any time to use this one until this spring!
