1. When we had our yard landscaped a few years ago, we left a large spot on the northeast area of the back yard (northwest side of the house) unfinished, on purpose, and today I turned the dirt in that spot over and over and broke up clumps and worked new soil into it and put new soil on top of it and prepared a new garden spot.
2. I went to the nursery and bought another low lying flowering shrub to add to the one I bought yesterday and bought some good sized perennials, including more black-eyed Susans, and put them all in the new garden spot. At the very least, it's going to make looking out the northwest living room windows and out of the Deke's window much more pleasant. There's more to do in this area, but I'm off to a pretty good start.
3. Not long ago, the Oakshire brewing company built a public house across the street from the Wandering Goat and the Troxstar and I strolled down there this evening. The place was packed and people from Harmony (they provide medical support at big events) were having a party and we found two stools at the bar and I enjoyed a pint of Reclamation Lager and a pint of Strawberry Farm, a farmhouse ale. The strawberry taste was not all dominant. It wasn't a fruity tasting beer. Solid farmhouse ale. The Reclamation, which they call a pilsner, was very good, too.
