Yay, side benefits of grid-bolting!
And good jorb figuring out the move.

Being a grown-up is not fun at all. I've been really slacking in the cleaning department, because I have been spending so much time planting and weeding. With the kids being out of school as of this week, the mess is about to increase exponentially.

Planting and weeding is a lot of work too. I actually need to redo the landscaping on my front yard, but I'm having problems coming up with evergreen options to plant right next to the stairs. I would like to plant some euonymus again but we just ripped the last ones out because of scale and I don't know how long it takes the shit to die off in the ground.

In other news, went to Kid1 Middle School graduation ceremony. Found out he got an award. He "forgot" that he had a piece of paper that said something about him getting an award, and he lost that piece of paper, so it was a pleasant surprise.
At some point this child does need to figure out how to keep his shit together and actually, you know, pay attention.
I'm really confused by the high school. Every school is different, every city has it's own standards, and rules, and what not. So, he better figure things out fast, or it would be an interesting year in 9th grade:
Honors Algebra II
Honors Biology
Honors English
Chinese 2
AP European History.
Oh, and some other minor stuff.

I like variegated Euonymus, they are nice. But i have no idea how long the scale stays. How about something like Aucuba? (Spotted laurel)

That's quite nice actually. And it's evergreen?
Appeal of the euonymus is that they're also pretty cheap and easy to keep to a reasonable size (the ones we chopped out were probably 25+ years old). I'll look into it it though and see if the nurseries around here carry it.

I have no idea what your schedule's like, but my summer schedule is that I typically climb Tues and Thurs afternoon/evening, and on the weekend. But I can be flexible on which afternoon/evenings I climb.
Just let me know your schedule and we can find a time to go play.
GO

I don't carez! Yeah, spotted laurel is evergreen, and pretty sturdy, in terms of cutting it down to size. But Euonymus is hard to beat for ease of maintenance.

I think one year in middle school my mom bought me three or four different planners because I kept losing the thing that was supposed to help me keep track of the things I needed to keep track of.
and it wasn't that I wasn't paying attention. it really wasn't. I did try really hard to keep track of stuff. I just... couldn't.
he'll probably be fine eventually. or functionally fine, anyway.
