Whoa...

Sorry for the lag. I've been really busy. We got in some time with family from afar this weekend, and I wasn't even able to get all of the small new weeds out of the garden: * * * I will point out that if you're a supporting member of WorldCon this year: Sasquan, the Hugo voting packet is now out. I've got a fair bit of reading to do, since I'd only read a couple of the contenders. My recommendation? Ignore the controversy, read the works, vote for what's good and well-written. ALSO, You can now pay your voting…

More gardening

One solution to the weeds that come up between the garden raised beds - turn the weeds green side down: Yup, it was more gardening this weekend. It's the important time of year for the yard - taking care that the plants get a good start does more for the garden than any work I do a month or two from now. I also mowed the lawns, and weeded out the garden beds themselves. That plus a number of hours working remotely ate the whole weekend. Oh, and we're solidly into the 80's with much higher humidity. Just lovely. *…

Mostly yard

Yup. This weekend, it was mostly yard work. Yesterday, while Marcia and LindaRose did a yard sale (which doesn't involve selling yards at all, oddly), I took the small gas tiller up the street, and tilled garden beds for a neighbor who just had back surgery and wasn't up to the task, yet. Then I hauled it back down here, and tilled some leaf compost into the one bed that needed more attention than just a shovel could provide. Thereafter, I headed over to Collins Nursery over at Woodcliff Road and Old Annapolis Road. It's a small, family-owned and operated…

De-broken WP; Yardwork

Well, sometime last week, one of the changes that I made while working with "responsive" Wordpress themes and site links broke the site. Not the part you see, but the administrative and posting functionality. Sadly, I've been busy enough that I didn't catch this until last night late. So I just fixed it, and I'm taking a few minutes to catch up. * * * Over the weekend, I washed the car, planted flowers front and back, and planted about half of the expected veggies. More on that later, but here's the Box of Pain (aka - peppers): * *…

Yard, Themes

This weekend, I was working in the yard. The garden beds, they are ready for plants: That, along with mowing the lawns, twice, and cleaning out all of the front flower beds, took up most of Friday and Saturday. Sunday was rest (or its best friend, immobility). * * * Theme update: The theme, it is currently a bit hideous, but now mobile friendly, due to changes in how Google search results will be ranked. Here's a useful link on the topic from Digital Trends. Expect more work on this over the coming days. * * * Tech. Sgt. Anthony…
