Well, I am not usually a morning person. short of getting my kids on the school bus, I am not an active morning person. I prefer late evenings. But this morning I got up, and went outside. The sun was coming up. It was cold but still unbearably nice. Kids were already on the buses, My other half was still asleep, My dog wanted to play, and brings me a soccer ball. So I kick it about for her a bit, highly amused at watching her bring it back.
Deciding I REALLY should get my son's strawberries into the ground, i locate the spot next to the back porch that gets the most sun. And start moving rocks, as i scrape back the accumulated fall leaves, I find to my surprise a patch of catnip, still green even after the winter snow. After plucking several sprigs I decide that the strawberries will have to be planted elsewhere.. Now I actually have to dig.. But at least my cats are happy.
Continuing my morning adventures, I start hauling junk out to the trash to be picked up today, As I do this my thoughts linger on the dishwasher, I have been waiting for people to haul to the curb for me. Making my way to the wear it sits, i look it over and decide that the heavy plastic wash bin is just to nice a item to waste. (not only am I lazy, I am cheap!) it's square(ish), deep, and has built in spill over holes . Collecting a drill, a mallet, and a pair of pliers, I have decided to take apart the outer metal frame and convert it into a planter. I will let you know how this works out.
