I finally got the template to reflect all the changes cleanly, so I guess it's time to try and put some stuff up!
The rain gave up a couple of days and I was able to complete mowing and trimming the yard. I even edged all the concrete slabs, both front and back. Missy seems to enjoy the yard especially after it has been mowed. She did not want to come in last night. Sat out in the back yard and worked on her new chew bone.
Got a new book on photoshop: "The Photoshop Book for digital photographers" by Scott Kelby. I've only done a couple of things and it is really easy to follow. The examples are really super. The color photos are really great. Now never display a photo with red eye! The only problem I have had is the author does not warn us pc folks that the info is only for the mac! At least several sections simply did not work, but they looked like they were mac only. Some time his does provide pc alternatives. Even with this problem, it is still a super book.
Last week end I dropped by the arbor day fair in Chesterville Park and picked up a composter and a couple trees. Both of them were FREE!
The composter is about the size of a large garbage bin. You put the top of the garbage bin on the ground and there is a lid to add the grass, straw, garbage, etc. There is another door in the bottom to remove the composter. Suppose to work in 2 to 6 wks. It works so quickly because it maintains the moisture and allows the heat to build up inside the composter. My fenced composter will take 1 to 2 years because it drys out and stops working until it rains or I remember to add some water. It also cools off to fast.
The trees I planted in the far back of the yard. Both are native to Missouri. One was a deciduous holly and the other a flowing dogwood. My wife said I planted two sticks! I did put a stick beside each tree, but I think she was refering to the trees! They are not very large ... about 12-14 inches.
Then I spent a good part of Saturday and a little while on Sunday helping with cleaning the pool. I thought it was really nice that a lot of the neighbors came over and helped clean my pool. I took some photos and gave them to the subdivision's web guy. Graeler Park Web Page
