Lughnasa                                    Waning Harvest Moon

Paula Westmoreland came today for a walk through on the next to last phase of their work here.  This time we added a woodland edge to the woods visible from our kitchen table.  We also added shrubs and trees between ourselves and the Olsons, our line of site neighbors to the east.  It’s beginning to look like they will require watering.  Bummer.

The ten bales of hay I bought on Labor Day are now out of the truck.  Two of them will go as mulch for the new plantings in the prairie toward the Olsons.  8 will facilitate my attempt to recreate the compost pile.  It has been dismantled and spread out into a nice nest for two large sized puppies who will go nameless.

Kate’s home for the third straight day with what might be H1N1.  Whatever it is, it’s kicked her butt and it takes some doing to accomplish that.

Garden work is the order of the weekend.  That plus some more decluttering–the project that keeps on giving.
