random thoughts

I’m no Jack Handy. That’s why these are random, but not deep.

It must be summer–I finally turned off the thermostat yesterday. I’m pretty sure I normally do this mid-May, so I hope this isn’t a harbinger to how the summer’s going to be. The first hot day, it’ll be reprogrammed for the air conditioner.

I hope the weather is better this summer than last. My garden sucked last year. It didn’t help that I couldn’t devote much time to it due to our shed project, but the weather wasn’t very conducive to growing vegetables. I already have a lot of time invested in the garden this year due to planting a bunch of stuff from seed, so I hope it all turns out well. I hope to produce a bunch of produce this year. Did you ever notice that those two words are spelled the same? I did not until just now.

We have been kicking some landscaping ass the past few evenings. I managed to mulch all of our deciduous trees and Brian did all of the edging (without prompting from me!). I still have a bunch of weeding to do, but the yard looks so much better already.

And, finally, Brian sent me a link to this site today, postsecret. It’s listed under my blog section on the right. I just thought I’d mention it because I have been thinking about it all day. I read every post on the site and found some of them haunting, some funny, and some insightful, and some way too personal. Check it out.
