Meme from not_your_real: place the state

I got 92% (46 out of 50), average error of 20 miles. I would have done worse, but I got a lot of good states (coastline) first.

We painted the burned kitchen today. It'll need another coat before it's done. I also got to take apart a sink faucet to fix dripping. Roy did one as an example and then put it back together so that I could do two all by myself (this is like doctor internships -- see one, do one, teach one) and I reassembled them successfully, so go me.

I fell asleep last night before I got around to watching bad movies, so those will be tonight's entertainment.

Also, I picked up collard seeds at the WalMart, which regrettably didn't have circular knitting needles in size 4. I'll have to look elsewhere for knitting needles, but at least I have collard seeds for the great collard experiment this spring. (Yes, there is still snow on the ground. I believe in being prepared.)

I've been buying seeds, too. I'll actually start busting sod this weekend, I think, but my season starts well before yours does. I'll probably start planting a few things by the end of the month. I'm bound and determined to start some Columbines and some various poppies this year. Perennials, ho!

Collard shouldn't be hard to grow, I don't think. I know that Swiss-Chard and the like are pretty easy to grow.

I hope they're not terribly difficult. I'll probably also do summer squash (yellow crookneck and zucchini) and some tomatoes. I want to make the garden a bit larger this year -- I'm thinking of moving the bearded iris to make room for more vegetables. I have some poppy seeds that I should try to get in the ground this year... and that'll make a year's worth of garden projects for me.

Probably I should be more ambitious... but it's hard to get excited about all this just yet. There's still four inches of snow on the ground.

I got too ambitious last year and had to dig up more yard that I'd initially planned, in order to plant all the seeds I had on hand. My ultimate goal is to only have enough grass to mow in 10 minutes, with everything else being either a flower bed or a vegetable patch.
