I finished what I consider to be the end of the beginning of my annual garden routine today: I dumped all the pruned limbs, weeds and other yard discards into the back of a pickup for a trip to the dump tomorrow. My gardening and back yard season officially begins when the first round of yard waste is hauled off and things begin to shape up. I received my first compliments of the year for the yard from friends who dropped by tonight to share a barbecue and to watch Wallace and Gromit's "Curse of the Were Rabbit" with us tonight. I'll make the dump run and then hit the sack early Sunday b/c I've got a long day planned Monday. I'll fly to Portland Monday morning to help Amy Dearest pack and then drive with her back to Coeur d'Alene in the afternoon. So, I won't be doing much more than posting a Wild Card for Monday. But we'll catch up with each other again Tuesday. Now, for your Sunday Wild Card ...
