It’s interesting how I switch back and forth from things I get from Walmart Pick Up service and the things I get from Amazon Prime two day delivery. This cappuccino mix changes back and forth depending on the supply chain at the time.

I ordered some new shoes from ShoeMall.com and it is taking weeks to get them here. They were the best price and basically only outlet for the shoes I like.

That’s the highest score I’ve ever had on Duolingo. It’s primarily because of one particular test pattern that I just kill at. It’s matching an English word and it’s equivalent in Spanish at super fast speed.

Rained early this morning. That’s good because it helped me with the yard work project I did today. The soil is easier to work with if it’s damp.

I’m having fun playing with my new “lichen garden.”

Transplanted Liriope plants from the buffer zone of my yard to my front yard. One of the hard parts was just getting over the fence. I used a step later and the wash tub. Also used my leather gloves, gorilla cart and my shovel.

First part of the project was to remove all the sticker vines. Sharp little bastards.

I dug about three inches below the surface of the plants. The first time I did it, I tried to leave dirt with the roots. Later, I realized that it was better to leave just the roots.

There’s plenty of monkey grass to harvest. Just a matter of getting it done. It also clears up the very back of my property.

Careful!

I removed quite a few plants.

I spent a little time getting the vines off of my back fence.

Moved to there front yard to plant what I’d just harvested.
![](https://photos.smugmug.com/Something-Different/Anthony-Liriope-Transplant-41622/i-5wzkKc8/0/ca633d59/M/IMG_5261-M.jpg)
I dug a hole, then put the plant in the hole and filled it back up with the dirt I’d just dug up.

Eventually, I had a series of about 5-7 holes. I’ve learned it’s best to do one layer of holes at a time. If you do too much you start stepping on the new plants.
![](https://photos.smugmug.com/Something-Different/Anthony-Liriope-Transplant-41622/i-JNczCPd/0/8b79ba70/M/IMG_5263-M.jpg)
Then I put the plants with the exposed roots into one of the holes.

Last step is to tamp the soil down well with my foot. Got pretty muddy.

When all the plants have been transplanted, I then give them a good watering down. That helps settle the soil. The soil was absolute loaded with earthworms. All these years of mulching leaves has really raised the quality of the soil enormously.

I harvested a second load of plants. This time I just dusted all the dirt off and just took the plants. Way lighter load and I didn’t really need the dirt in the front yard.

At the end of the day, I take pride in cleaning all my tools and leaving them ready to go for the next time. I also dried the shovel off and sprayed it with WD40 to keep it from rusting.

Rinsed off the mud from my shoes.

Spent time cleaning off my work shoes, gloves and other tools.

I worked over three hours. I had done a lot before I remembered to turn Runkeeper on.

Cleaned off my outdoor carpet. It’s slowly getting covered in moss, which I think is kind of cool.
