Kirk

So, last night Kirk came over to fix our shower (attempt number 4) and our garbage disposal (the only tool he used was a broom handle). He had also been over at Brittney's fixing a heater. Apparently he went on the side of the house to retreive some dry wall (good thing we didn't throw it out) and noticed the pile o'dirt and subsequently the raised beds. When he came over he asked if we had started a vegetable garden.

I sheepishly replied that we had, thinking he would be upset that we've killed the grass and pretty much taken over the backyard. Instead, to my delight, he said that it was so cool. He went on to tell me about his father, who was an avid gardener, and how please he would be that we're gardening here.

As a side note, we also discussed a few other projects around the place. (1) Apparently they won't start on the fences until the man behind us takes down his garages (?) so I don't think that will happen anytime soon. (2) Melissa's porch might get some attention in April (maybe?). (3) The exterior of the house will be repainted sometime in 2009. So it sounds like none of those projects will interfere with our farm.
