Realized that right now, I have zero (0) afternoons at home WITH Andrew here as well -- during his "weekends," I'm at work in my office, and during my weekends, he's at work in his. Making it impossible to do any afternoon gardening, because I can't watch the toddler AND the baby AND garden at the same time, especially if it requires a trip to the store to buy dirt.

So I took today off work to "get stuff Done." Also influencing my decision: (1) big protest march in downtown Seattle today, probably snarling up my commute home if I had gone in, and (2) feeling yecchy.

Because of the feeling yecchy, I didn't really want to garden, but I girded my loins and did it anyway. I bought 9 bags of dirt at reasonable prices, weeded the second frame, dumped in 6 bags of said dirt, planted the two pumpkin seedlings that have been festooning my windowsill for the past month, and mulched the heck out of them.
