Weekend Updates

Pie




The photo speaks for itself.  It was delicious.  I had berries left over from Palm Sunday. Yes, I even made little flowers for the top instead of lattice.  You know me, it's about presentation.

Fridge



Out free outside refrigeration ended (thanks goodness!).  Drinks were no longer cold-cold.  Some days they were not even cold.  We were using a cooler and making ice and buying ice, but with the temperature over 70 degrees, that was a process. 

We struggled without a spare fridge long enough.  It wasn't he cheapest, which was tiny.  it was the next size up.  It was also marked "Take Home Today!!!!" Walt Kowalski liked that idea.  No waiting for delivery. 

Now drinks and vegetables are cold-cold-cold.  Ahhhh. 


Barrels


What a job! I worked at these barrels for three days.  The ground moved and the rocks moved and the plants grew MAJOR roots.  Shovels and vice grips and swearing were required. 

The worst part is that several of the barrels were curved on the bottom.  It was nice when we planted because it held in the dirt.  But it also held in the dirt and plants when we tried to remove them!

Lesson learned.  When we reuse the barrels, I'll cut off the curvy bottom part before planting.

Doesn't it look nice! Just in time, too.  The hostas and ferns were just starting to appear.
