A work-at-home day
M. went and got the tiller and tilled up our garden. Then he arranged the old rails around the garden to connect it to the new fence. When the landlord put up new fence last summer they reconfigured our yard and basically cut us off from the garden. There was a small gap between the end of the fence and the outbuilding so M. built a gate for it and used the rails to attach the garden to our yard again; basically he made us a little corridor to the garden. All of this is necessary to keep out the pain-in-the-ass cows. They get their jollies tromping through the garden if they can. We're planting sunflowers and a pumpkin patch. I'm looking forward to watching them grow.

He built a new gate to keep the dogs and Emma out of the garden; you can see it to the left. It's attached to the building...


This should give some perspective on the whole set up. Once again the gate is at the far left...


M. also "laid waste to vast regions" with his weed-whacker. I did the laundry and cleaned and decommissioned some baby toys and packed them away.

Emma played.
