We'd not gotten any rain for two-three weeks, and that combined with the heat to turn the gardens into hardpack. And there's no point to trying to weed in hardpack, as the weeds break off at the surface, leaving the roots behind. But that changed late in the week. We got about half an inch of rain Thursday night, which was enough to loosen up the soil in the garden by the house, so I weeded there on Friday. While dodging the 2+ inches (5cm) of rain that fell on Friday. And it fell nicely, not in downpours, so most of it actually sank in to the ground. The weeds will lurve that. Okay, the flowers I want will like it too, but...
My back has been really cranky lately. I suspect it's the months of sleeping on my back because I can't sleep on my side that's catching up to it. It really doesn't like me sleeping on my back, but it's not like I have a choice right now.
I finally got into a PT clinic -- the referrals were all to UMich clinics, most of them almost an hour away, and two of the three clinics on this side of A2 didn't even call me back. I finally got in to the MedSport clinic at the ice arena. At 7am. Which means I leave here at 6:20am to be there at 6:50. ack! I've been getting up between 7 and 7:30 for the last four years, and even before that the school alarm went off at 6:10. The clerk I talked to there says that the sunrises are very pretty. :)
The rill has been settling in weird ways, and I think I've convinced J that he should put some hardware cloth under the rill liner to help with stability and to keep the chipmunks from gnawing holes in the liner. Well, what will really happen is that he'll get the hardware cloth and I'll get to do the rest of the work.
