Misc. (again)
Jun. 14th, 2006 02:22 pmI like my backpack, but it would be even better to have one that didn't make my back get all sweaty when I walk in the summer.
I screened my knuckle; it hurt. Not recommended.
It was a nuisance to get everything off the porch, but with a good side effect: I finally got rid of the plastic bin I never should've used to grow stuff in (years ago), now falling to pieces. Four garbage bags later and it's gone (amazing how heavy wet dirt is). The bin had been clearish plastic; it was fascinating to see how moss grew down the inside of the bin, since it was able to get light (not as much air, though, which is why I was surprised to find it there). The other benefit is that I should put things out again in a better configuration, transplanting the flower seedlings, acquiring the missing elements (mint, nasturtiums, replacement rosemary), and having a more usable evening outdoor room. Ideally, I should get self-watering containters, and a bunch of windowboxes that can hang off the railing. In the meantime, if I can't put everything out before Shabbat, dinner is likely to be on the porch.
Peeve: boil-in-bag foods that say they're 2.5 servings, especially when one bag is small enough to be a single meal.
Acquired: a new lighting fixture to go above the dining room table. Installation to happen only after the plantly kitchen invasion is over.
Note to self: need to get a replacement bulb for one of the recessed lights, and figure out what kind of bulb to get for the over-stove light. ("Overstove" sounds like a Borrower name.)
Flour retrieval mission accomplished. I now have self-rising flour. What do I do with that?
I'm glad today is my produce infusion; all I had left by yesterday morning was salad stuff, which has now been consumed in the name of breakfast.
It's interesting to hear workmen scraping the house while I'm inside. It makes me much more aware of house-skin I live in. Also, all I could think as they power-washed the porch was "it's like a spa for your... porch".
