the sun has broken through the drizzle for nearly a week straight! the eco lawn (actually fleur de lawn) has come in reasonably well, with only minor patches that failed to do much of anything. it’s had the first mowing and seems to be doing well…

it sure as hell beats the prior landscaping… mud.
the yellow car is my newest project… a ‘72 volvo 142e. 2 liter 4 cylinder ohv (not ohc… pushrod motor), 4 speed. cool little thing, with some entirely ancient electronic fuel injection… runs beautiful, though.

rebecca’s garden is giving tons of lettuce… and some other cool stuff, like the baby carrots:

summer is kinda-almost upon us.  it’s about damned time.

the back yard’s eco lawn (fleur de lawn, to be exact) is coming in quite well.  nice to have some color other than dirt back there.

the driveway has it’s 5 cubic yards of 3/4- gravel laid out.  it still needs tamped, but it’ll do for now.  think we’re gonna hold off on pouring concrete for a while.  the gravel is a HUGE step up from the mud that it replaced.

hauled home a ‘72 volvo 142e. the second cheapest car i’ve purchased in my life. it’s a project car that’s not too far off from being my daily driver. cool little thing, it is.

other than that… not much else done to the house: have been working on other projects and basically feeling a complete lack of free time… which partially explains the lack of posts, and the diminutive size of this post.

damn, i’ve gotta be at work in 8 hours. wish i could afford (and justify) a vacation.
