Reclaiming the yard

The yard reclamation project is currently underway. We hit the plant sales this week -- Jeni did the annual local farmers plant sale at the farmer's market and got some good stuff, then we camped out for 1-1/2 hours to get in to the botanical garden plant sale (in and out in eight minutes with good stuff). The uniqueness of the botanical garden sale is such a draw. The weather was supposed to be awful, and we did get rained on a bit, but not when it counted. Jeni and I have our system down so we get in and out efficiently -- like the plant version of the day after Thanksgiving.

We got a bunch of the plants in the ground today with a few more left to be planted. But they'll be OK for now.

Just two weeks until the MS walk-a-thon in Marietta with Nikki. This will be our second year at this event, and so happy to be able to support Nikki.

Working crew at Victor/Victoria

One of the actors for Victor/Victoria got hurt away from the show, so I got called to duty. His part was just covered or taken out, but they needed help moving a few set pieces. I've done set painting and sound for some simple shows, but this is my first time working crew. I even have a brief two seconds on stage (if you don't notice me then I did it right).

Got back in the gym today -- 15 minutes on the elliptical and upper body. It would be easier if the pollen wasn't getting me sniffly.

Yard work is coming along slowly. We've got good plans to get the yard cleaned up but the weather and V/V isn't cooperating right now. Hopefully I'll get the grass cut one night this week. Just never enough time is there?
