Using sheer determination and a couple of shovels, I dug up this stump from the area I plan(ned) to use as a garden. I didn’t need to dig it up, but it suited me better to have a more uniform garden space. I also enjoyed the challenge of it and having an excuse to play in the dirt.

This reminds of a Czech movie, Little Otik (Otesánek), I saw a few years ago where a woman wants to have a baby but can’t, so her husband carves one out of a stump or something. It comes alive and starts eating people. It’s a great movie. Scary. Creepy. Recommended.
I’m about two thirds of the way toward having the soil in my garden prepared for planting. I got all the weeds pulled, and I’m currently working on digging out a stump. Once that’s done, I’ll just need to till up the dirt and maybe add some topsoil. Then I can move on to the fun stuff. Actually, digging up weeds and stumps is fun too, and it’s foundational. On top of that, it’s a good upper body workout.
The kitties were having a blast running around and chasing each other all over the yard. They are way more active when someone’s outside, which is interesting. They’re somewhat like (certain) people in that way.

According to Wikipedia, “Soilwork is a Swedish melodic death metal band from Helsingborg.” I’ve never listened to them before; I’ve just heard the name and thought it was cool.
