The raised bed garden box has been constructed. It is quite beautiful - redwood and all. Smells nice right now, too! Family is wonderful. Mom and I discovered that while garbage cans are great for hauling soil, it's much too heavy when full. So we had three cans half-full of soil...and the box isn't half full. So, probably two more trips are necessary. Oh, good lord. Will do one tomorrow, and the other...well, we'll see. Picked up some bird netting so the cats should stay away from all that lovely dirt. Plus, it will keep the birds away from the veggies once they've started growing.

Got TCBY peanut butter shakes for a treat for Papa for helping with the box. They're an old favorite that we haven't gotten in ages. So, that was a wonderful end of day treat.

Oh! On the way back out to the ranch, I saw a red shouldered blackbird! OMG, so cool! I've seen them in Michigan before and knew they were in the area, but never have I seen one here. Craziest thing - there's one small patch of cat tails in a sheep pasture, and he was balancing on them singing his little heart out or something. The little red patches were even standing up. SO cool!
