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.
Here is the Shorts cuteness for today. The images are a little grainy due to (I guess) bad lighting.

Getting out into the yard today was good. I need to get out there more often. I keep thinking about gardening but get overwhelmed with the thought of it, partly because I’m also doing like 50 million other things (at least), but gardening and composting is really important to me. The compost pile is in full effect (yo), but the most I’ve done with gardening is daydream about luscious, home grown kale.
What I need to do is just start small and build up. There is a small bed next to the garage and also a small frame that our landlord dropped off for a raised bed. I’m going to start with one of these and just one or two “crops” then work my way up to other stuff. Also, on a related note, inspired by a recent blog post elsewhere, I plan to start sprouting.
What are they looking at? Photo taken with iPhone and scaled with GIMP.
After I mowed the lawn, Shorts and Totes came outside to investigate. They sniffed around and chased each other a bit. They’re not quite to the point of snuggling together, but I think that’s coming soon. I’ll post here as soon as they do.

This is Shorts, quite possibly the cutest, sweetest kitten ever (other than her sister, Flubby). OK, I’m sure I’m just saying that because she’s my cat, but whatever… Click the image to see the full size version. I took this photo with my iPhone.
