Palabras!

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. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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.

Went to Walgreens to pick up some meds for K. She’s having stomach issues.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m having fun playing with my new “lichen garden.”
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

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.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

First part of the project was to remove all the sticker vines. Sharp little bastards.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

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.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

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.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Careful!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I removed quite a few plants.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I spent a little time getting the vines off of my back fence.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Moved to there front yard to plant what I’d just harvested.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I dug a hole, then put the plant in the hole and filled it back up with the dirt I’d just dug up.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

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.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Then I put the plants with the exposed roots into one of the holes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Last step is to tamp the soil down well with my foot. Got pretty muddy.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Rinsed off the mud from my shoes.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Spent time cleaning off my work shoes, gloves and other tools.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I worked over three hours. I had done a lot before I remembered to turn Runkeeper on.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Cleaned off my outdoor carpet. It’s slowly getting covered in moss, which I think is kind of cool.<\/p>\n
