When Ma Nature Says "Hurry Up!" You Hurry Up

After supper I started putting the spring blend of fertilizer on the front yard. Halfway through the second pass (having been joined by Justin towards the end of the first pass) the sky darkened and lightning started showing up in the distance. We did our best to use up the rest - almost all of it - running in circles after we finished the second pass. A few droplets showed up, but the fertilizer remained dry. Just as Justin closed the garage door, the rain came, finishing up the job by soaking the fertilizer into the ground.

I had hoped to set one of the six stones in the back yard, but that just didn't happen.

As soon as the weather allows, we'll spread fertilizer on the back yard and get to those stones.

Oh - I have to wait a bit before going to bed. Had to jump in an emergency shower. Justin was holding Brandon and reading Least I Could Do over my shoulder while Deb was talking to patrixa on the phone. Apparently eating lots of crackers and then jumping around like a two and a half year old is wont to do is not a Good Thing. I caught some collatoral damage in my hair. Yick.

All better now, though. Brandon enjoyed listening to my new song and then Michael Hedge's Ursa Major, and after playing to a smiling kid cuddled up in bed, I popped in the second disc of the Yesyears boxed set.
