headway made

we ran through the bramble and we ran through the bushes.

we ran (can't remember the lyrics here) where a rabbit couldn't go...

We got so much accomplished today! We took Josie to the dog park where she played with Dexter, some labradoodle. We then went to Fred Meyers and got three large teracotta pots and came home to do yard work. Kev mowed while I planted our tomatoes in the pots. We had to do them out front and the soil there is soooo bad that we opted to plant them in containers. Jenn, my dear friend who gave me the starts, said that tomatoes can do well in containers. I laid about an inch and a half of tiny pebbles in the bottom to ensure proper drainage and then used a nice top soil/potting mix.

Then we moved to the backyard. Kev mowed it while I ran to the good ol store to get yard debris bags and gloves. We had gotten some amazing ones from my parents a few Xmas's ago, but they are somewhere in our front "storage" closet and well, they can't be found at the moment.

We attacked the bramble vine with a vengeance! We chopped the wood into smaller pieces (perhaps some of you remember the wood pile we made after we chopped down part of our cherry tree...ummm, about two years ago?). Yeah, we're a little on the slow side. Not any longer though. We made HUGE headway into that project and then we decided we had run out of steam and since we have a party we are heading to shortly, we figured we'd clean up, make potato salad and rest a bit...

Speaking of the taters. The timer is a dingin'!
