internet

Mom and Dad helped me get the internet going here in Union.  Hooray!

Got the job stocking at night in Walmart.

Garden failed.

Will retry again later this week I guess.

Post more later, maybe after work.

pictures of garden

The first bed I did.  I don't think they've been worked in a year or more.  This one I laid down newspaper and then covered it with the peat moss and manure.  Wasn't as deep as I would like.

This is the next bed before I did anything with it.

All I did was jerk most of the weeds out - pretty messy still.  My phone failed at saving the next picture of it after I hoed and raked it.  It looked a lot better, but still had some left over weeds in it.

I didn't put down paper before I added the moss and manure.  We will see which one does better.  I think the rest I will put the paper down though just cause I don't want to deal with a bunch of weeds coming back.

Just a shot of the two finished beds and the others that are still super ugly.

Did some mowing down at the Union house.  I thought I would get the whole yard done ... until the tractor died.  I had a phone conference with Dad and we concluded that the gas was lower than I thought and then the battery caput when I tried starting it a few times.  Going to take the trickle charger down next week and see what happens.

So I finished the front yard with a push mower.  That's a lot of yard.

I cleaned up two of the garden beds and have the ready for planting next week.  It is supposed to rain all this weekend so the soil should be ripe for the starts and some seeds I have to put in.  Hopefully next week the weather will cooperate to get more of the garden done and planted.

So I think I have the night stocker job at Walmart - yay money! I like the fact I won't have to do much with the public since I am overnight.  Just nice mindless manual labor.
I peed in a cup and signed for my background check.  So long as no one spiked my soda everything should go through.  I hope to hear from them next week too.

Tomorrow is Rob's grandmother's memorial.  I am glad she went quickly.  I just have to make it through the day with some of his relatives (some I like, some not as much ... like really annoying... shutting up).

Then Saturday is Kentucky Derby Day!!!  And I forgot the antenna down in Union.  So going to see if I can't beg a derby party somewhere.  heh
