My wife took the kids up to the community recycle bin the other day to dump off our recyclable trash. She did dump our old stuff, but she also came back with 30 unused folders that she took out of the bin! Ok, that’s embarrassing enough, but then she told me there were dozens more and I took her back. We got 93 free folders, and only one person saw us digging in the trash. Score!!

After two attempts and a hammer claw to the knee, my wife now has a clothesline. I used the old-style cloth line, and it stretches like mad so I have to change it out for something less pliable.

The garden has been planted, and we have radishes and cucumbers coming up. We planted flowers at one end as well, and Marigolds at the end of each row to keep out the rabbits.
