After another T25 workout we went to the house. My dad planted the boxwoods while I prepared the landscape fabric and then installed plastic under the house. I was really dreading the latter task, but it turned out to be not too bad. Just lots of crawling around in the dark. A neighbor came by midway through and wanted to talk with us for about an hour. That was kind of frustrating.

I returned to the cottage and got another trailer, which was full of trash, so I took it to the dump. Then I went to the supply yard to get some straw. It wasn’t as hot today as it has been, but was still a little uncomfortable. I went to get pea gravel at the sand plant, but they are out and won’t have any until next month. On the way back I picked up some grass seed I had in the storage unit. At the house my dad finished up the boxwoods and I began seeding. Then he helped me spread straw. Just about the time we wrapped that up it started raining, so we called it a day.

Back at the cottage we showered, washed clothes, and headed to the Goat Market for an early dinner. Fortunately it wasn’t too busy. After eating we drove back by the house to admire our handiwork, then drove over to campus to look at paint colors on some of the houses there. My dad went to bed at about 7:15 and after talking with Liz I have just been messing about on the computer.
