the book of eli

Continuing with the Denzel Washington theme (we watched Unstoppable last weekend), we watched The Book of Eli last night. It was a pretty good movie, but I was so tired from working outside all evening that I had trouble concentrating on it. There were some great fight scenes and it was an interesting story with some cool twists. I only wish I had been more alert while watching it.

mulch

We had a bunch of mulch delivered yesterday and got that taken care of last night. The three of us worked like mad to get things done before dark. During the mulching process, I removed the nonproductive blueberry plants and raspberry bushes. It made it easier to mulch, anyway. Someday, I will attempt both again, but not until I can put them in a secure area.

minus one

Since I have been having trouble coming up with content for both of my blogs, I have switched back to a single blog. My gardening blog has been imported into this one and has been deleted. Since I had my gardening blog on my custom domain (angelalaw.net), I’m going to use it for this blog now. It’s not currently working, but hopefully it’s just a DNS thing and will be up soon.

unstoppable

I didn’t really want to see this movie, but since it was partially set in central PA, I figured we’d watch it as a Family Movie Night (rather than the kids’ movies that we always watch). The problem was that Jake ended up not being around this weekend (he apparently doesn’t sleep here anymore on Fridays or Saturdays), so Brian and I watched it last night. Correct that–I watched it last night. Brian fell asleep 15 minutes in (that seems to be a recurring theme lately). This movie was kind of like Speed on a train. That statement wasn’t a compliment.

too much rain

I mean, seriously. Besides having an effect on my gardening schedule, this rain has been affecting other parts of my life as well. For one thing, we haven’t been able to get the motorcycles out of the shed. Due to this, we haven’t been able to get the lawnmowers out of the shed. We got the bikes out yesterday so the grass has finally been cut. Good thing, too, because it was only about 10 inches high. I’ve needed to access some other stuff in the shed, but the bikes were in the way of that, too. I guess I’m good to go now, but I feel like I’m so far behind because I haven’t been able to work outside much this spring. Jake’s family birthday party is next weekend, so I need to get ready for that. We like to do a cookout, but the weather rarely cooperates. Just in case, I need to be prepared for it.
