Saturday was the "lost" day - had been out drinking late the night before. So, I spent the day sorting through old billing statements and things to prepare for "tax time". I need to get that done soon. Friends call about oysters and beers for dinner, so off I went.
Sunday was a little different. Left the house at 11 a.m. to buy a $5 machete (with nylon sheath, no less). Two hours later, I get home with the machete and some other garden tools, a dining table and chairs (I need to assemble), 10 bags of bark nugget mulch, two rolls of landscaping fabric, 8 shrubs, and 50 lbs of "starter soil" for the shrubs.
I don't have anywhere prepared for said shrubbery and only recenlty came up with an idea of where to put them. They'll go in the front of the house where some other bushes and evergreens are already located. The evergreens are being moved to the back, side of the house to be used as a screen of the view of my neighbor's yard. So there's some holes to dig.
I unloaded the truck, went in and ate lunch and watched the race, and took a short nap (during the race, of course). Then, I cleaned out all the pine straw from out front. I went around to dig the new holes for the evergreens and began a mining expedition since the original gravel driveway used to be on that side of the house. I did get all three holes dug. I then went on a general big rock hunt. Rocks between the size of a fist, and the size of my head. I have quite the collection of these large rocks now. By then, it was getting dark, so I went inside and assembled the table and chairs.
Never did use the machete. *And* I never got around to having my Saturday night bonfire, either. Got home too late, and probably a little too drunk.
