I Moved a ton of Gravel Today

Finally, a minute at home to breath. It's not raining for once, maybe I can get back outside to finish redistributing the gravel.

On Wednesday four tons of gravel was delivered. Three tons was spread on the driveway. The other ton was left mostly in a pile so I could move it around to the back of the house, using a shovel and a wheelbarrow . If the dump truck were smaller I would have sent it behind the house to dump the last ton.

Yesterday I picked two buckets of apples from a tree in a freecyclers back yard. For dinner I made a pie wth a plum custard filling. I still have over half a box of plums as well has three squashes from the bounty we bought back from the Okanagan not to mention all the veggies in the garden.

I'm beginning to panic because the only place I have to store these veggies is in a cool corner of basement next to the deep freezer, the wine, camping gear and our boxes of books. The only good thing about this scenerio is that building bookshelves ie the next item on the todo list after the firewood has been organised, and the bigger and better containers for the compost heap have been built.

Time for bed
