Fair Price Paid

What a splendid weekend! Helped a neighbor with dividing some bulbs and digging up a few perennials she wanted to get rid of, and got a ton of new plants for my yard out of the bargian. My hands and arms and hamstrings are a little bit sore, and I've got a little of what might be thistle-rash on my wrist (I'm choosing to believe it isn't anythign worse, but we'll have to wait and see), so I think I made out pretty well.

The tally: 47 surprise lily bulbs dug up and replanted; four big clumps of blue globe thistle dug up and replanted -- thanks to agrnmn for digging the holes at home in good humor when I brought home three loads of plants; and thanks to breathofgold for helping to cover up the last dozen bulbs or so when I began to despair of ever finishing.

Princess !Kaboom picked her body weight in dandelions, and Princess Sticky made dozens of "dirt cookies." Not a bad showing. I was so very happy, it was almost a shame to get the dirt out from under my nails to go to church yesterday. Really, I was *already* at church, kneeling in the dirt and singing to my flowers. :)

Also, abouy 4.5 miles logged on a training walk yesterday. Only 3 miles to walk today, and 3 more tomorrow, then a rest day.

Today, my shoulderblades keep trying to crawl up to my ears. Not sure what that's about, but I'm working with it. I think today's walk will do me a lot of good.

I know the one you're listening to; it's called "Animals", and it damn near makes me want to buy the CD just for that track. They're so much more fun when they're cheerful ("Figured You Out", etc.) than when they're whining about love.

cerrunos and I got to see them in concert when I was in college. MTV had a tour and we were a stop. He and I helped with communications and security (we were both with the OEM at the time and that's what we did) before we got to go in for the concert. Default was there too... it was great!

I like their re-make of "Saturday Night's Allright" with Kid Rock, too. :D Very cheerful, very booty-shaking inducing. ;)
