It turned out to be a sunny early spring day with a temperature of about 8°C and a coolish SE wind. As the forecast calls for rain tomorrow, I spread fertilizer on the lawns. I removed the last of the black plastic edging I put around the gardens several years ago. Until the frost heaved parts of the edging and the lawn mower clipped it, the edging served its purpose. Methinks I will try paver edging some time or just go back to using the flat spade, chopping a ditch and weeding every so often.

While I was working outside, a driveway paving salesmen stopped by. So I asked him for a quote on removing the asphalt from the double driveway and spreading a layer of crushed stone suitable for laying pavers. His verbal quote was $650. Of course I’ll have to check into this further.

Later I ran my “river” route 10km run. Yesterday I ran a street route to the west of my place for about another 10km. I think this is the first weekend I have (ever?) done two back-to-back 10km runs. Yeah, of course I’m tired.

Why “gardening without guilt?” I’ve finished my 3 tax returns: there’s no reason I should be working my brain inside for the moment.
