i dreamt..........

of knitting last night
i dreamt we'd gone to a yarn store and i finished a color knit hat (just wove in the last end) in knitpicks palette...... and showed it to someone then lost it!
we couldn't find it anywhere!
all that work
in the search for the hat we ended up at a relatives house........ wandering through their backyard by their pool (full of teenagers) and then on to a DMV to reregister the car
then to a car of one of my friends to see her new dog
HUH?
oye
still looking for that color knit hat...... which was in shades of melon, cream, mint green, tan...... and had a row with slightly darker coral dots in squares of cream out lined with tan, that were worked in duplicate stitch

oye
the dream before that was that one of my friends had died leaving her husband and two small children motherless...... that one scared me as that has happened to a couple of my friends
so that person is going to get a phone call from me today

now as to the actual in THIS world activity yesterday
we cut back brambles that had encroached on my garden and taken over the back fence of the veggie patch.
we cut back i think about 35 feet wide by about 20 feet deep or so
could have been 40~60
out back there what you think is ten feet turns out on a tape measure to be 20 ......personally i think there is a vortex of measurement out that as it seems to fluctuate

we also moved my good black homemade garden soil back and put cardboard down on the subsurface.
we are going to build beds over that so that we have hopefully a lasanga garden....... i am going to layer my good soil with hay and leaves etc...... to build up into the wooden raised beds
i am hoping that by doing this i will have the following

1. easier for me to take care of by myself
2. i can put mini hoop houses over
3. no more mole/vole damage
4. chickens and ducks can run around in the garden when we top flight it
5. weed free paths
6. warm up earlier in spring
7. winter gardening and wintering over made easy
8. neater more appealing looking garden

i just need some help here.......i envision (i should draw it for bernie i think) an arbor on the north side that has grapes or something on it..... and a pretty little rustic arch with morning glory
i see strong wooden posts holding 8 feet tall fencing, with flight netting over the top....... and a small greenhouse on the back as well.......add a bird bath and extend the garden to include a tiny elizabethian knot garden...... with flowers as well as veggies.....how about that???

now last night after supper bernie got to watch his newest harry potter...... the half blood prince, and he didn't like it at all
so that's two of his birthday presents he didn't like
i have some hope he will like avatar.......if not oh man.....did I SCREW up his birthday

now this week, i need to clean the chicken pens......clean the duck crates and the a frame pen along with the temporary pen
damn........ i got ALL the pens to clean i think!, i need to get the blueberries in as well and i would like to put the beans and the snow peas in if i can
i have to transplate the veggies seedlings, as well as the impatients i grew from seed
gee i got a lot of stuff to day

did you all notice drawing isn't on that list?
although art supplies will be here tuesday i understand

how's everyone's weekend so far?
