The sun was shining brightly and heating up the land today. The area around the deck started off fairly muddy this morning, but was mostly dry by the afternoon. I started the day by going to Great Clips and Home Depot, started the retaining wall, then returned to Home Depot. Once I finally had everything I needed I was able to make good progress. Until I ran out of railroad ties. The ties weren’t as heavy as I remembered from my youth, and of course having the tractor helped. I couldn’t find my little chainsaw to cut them with, so they aren’t as staggered as I would have liked. Oh well. They aren’t that level either. But hopefully the wall will be solid and do what it’s supposed to.

I didn’t cook anything in the slow cooker today as the refrigerator is pretty much full. I’m sure it is grateful for the break. This evening I’m working some more on my vegetable seed list. Now instead of adding to it I’m subtracting, due to space considerations.
