That’s how much of our yard got weeded last night, in my estimation. Both of us worked for an hour straight (we only stopped because we were bored) after dinner. But, the lamb’s ear is no longer in danger of being choked out, the one back corner is again clear (it’s been weeded before, and it all grew back), and we’ve got some new spots of dirt (which were previously covered only by weeds). The new spots of dirt (or maybe it’s just one spot… hmm) are exciting because they’re not part of the previous owner’s original gardening plans, so they are not covered in rock nor do they have black plastic looming under the surface. Just plain old dirt. Perhaps there’s supposed to be grass there. Or some decorative bricks? We found a few of those in the area. Whatever. I think it would be an excellent place for a strawberry patch… next year. For now, it can stay empty as far as I’m concerned.

And that’s pretty much it. It’s a little boring around here. I think I might make up the rest of those potstickers tonight, since the raw meat will only keep for so long in the fridge. Not exactly exciting, but good to have done nonetheless. Perhaps I’ll be more motivated to do it after cooking some of them up, which is in the plan because we’re having stir fry, and homemade potstickers seem to be the perfect side for that.
