My accomplishments, let me show them you

Spent more time than was wise outside today. Mostly to get away from whiny child. But also because I was thiiiiiiiiiiiis close to being finished.

And you know what? I finished!!!!

Well, I finished the first stage. Still a lot of hard work to do amending the soil (icky clay), but the hard, gritty work of derooting and otherwise weeding the back is done!

Here, let me show you!

( Pics! )

Right. So, after Irene passes and the soil dries out to manageable levels, I will plant all of the lovely ferns and astilbe I have (should they survive), and in a few years, I will have a lovely garden back there! Whee!

But now, I need a shower. I smell like a laborer. For good reason. ;-)

Updated Shelter early...

just in case we do lose power here.

So chapter 16 is now up on Ashwinder and TPP.

No snippets from here on out. Too spoilery.

Cheers!
