lotsa same ol' same ol'.
FCB concert on Sunday -- I have dug to to the back of the garage attic to get the ghost & witch & pumpkin. Still need to wash them. And dig through the basement shelves for the stage decorations that I usually take, and put batteries in them all and then into a box to take on Sunday.
We rehearsed at the Hawk on Monday. It's still horrible. [The old bandroom was a nice bandroom, but when they redid it, all of the acoustic tile was removed, as were the lockers along two sides of the room. It's a very live and loud room, and is not very good for a band rehearsal. (Our usual rehearsal space was being used by the HS band.)] There's a stage rehearsal on Friday, and the concert is Sunday. We have to rack+stack everything, and put it back into storage before we leave on Friday. :( OTOH, the Hawk now has actual musician's chairs rather than folding chairs, and they have enough stands for us.
Still unsure of my costume. I had plans of doing a Professor Sprout costume, but haven't been able to get into the workroom to cut anything out. I'll have to dig through the costume boxes on Saturday and see what I can put together.
Been working in the garden on non-rainy days (or even rainy days, as long as we don't get a lot of rain). The E garden is cleared, except for the goldenrod and the hardy hibiscus that didn't die back until the freeze thursday(?) night. The geranium bed is mostly cleared -- cut back the lilies and pulled the grass and phlox and cottonwood 'trees'; cut back the lilies by the front lilac; cut back most of the coneflower in the prairie bed. I'll finish that off maybe tomorrow, Saturday for sure. The weather is supposed to change over the weekend, from nice temps but rainish to rainish and chilly. The cat will not be pleased.
