This weekend has been very pleasant but it's just flown by. Saturday I had some blood work done. Afterwards I stopped by Fresh Fields Whole Foods Market and found a nice surprise -- some organic rhubarb for $1.99 a pound. Nice rhubarb, too -- big, crunchy red stalks -- so of course I snapped that right up. In the afternoon we looked at dishwashers and took a trip to the library, where I was able to check out a few kid's videos about fire engines.
Sunday is going to get its own post. Today a big round yellow thing appeared in the sky and the rain stopped (we have gotten three inches of rain this past week, and almost two inches of that was since Thursday; part of my poor garden is under water.) It seems that part of our back yard is gradually sliding onto the patio, so we took a trip to Lowe's to look into building a little retaining wall. I will have to blog sometime about our house -- fondly known as "The Prussian Green Money Pit" -- and all the little projects that keep presenting themselves to us.
I think all this rain has something to do with why I've been ruminating about grow lights. While we were at Lowe's, I saw some free-standing wire shelving that I think might fit the bill -- all I would have to do is hang shop lights onto the wires with the S-hooks and plug the lights into a timer. But, again, no need to think about that till after Christmas.
