Wow.

I haven't blogged since February?  Really? Wow.  So much time gone by.  So much stuff happened. Foot surgery. Huge garden. Chickens. Viking chicken coop/run. Summer vacation.  Too much to talk about in one post.  So here's what I did today:

I reclaimed our fountain and this little corner bed that was awful to look at for too long.  Now it's a lovely goddess shrine.

I also cleaned off the courtyard altar, which had gotten pretty grungy and rededicated it to the element of fire (seems appropriate because we've been in the triple digits for the past two weeks. I mean, like 110 - 115 degrees kind of triple digits.  Awful!)

And since we've been feeding 2 or 3 stray cats who come to visit our yard, I made a nicer place for them to eat:

So that's pretty much what I've been up to today, aside from making popovers and sun tea and unloading some stuff through our local freecycle.com group.  I'll blog about the Viking chickens in the next few days...
