I vote for PoolGoddess. Come on, a little wishful thinking can't hurt.
I forgot kids could still be in school, Lush. How come your school year is longer than ours?
Your lists are very colorful, always a treat to read. You are definitely not the only one around here who needs housework handholding. Some of us just aren't trying, though... When I feel the need to post a list I usually send it to System Goddess, if you can believe it. Fortunately that urge doesn't come very often.
If you really want to know, a lasagna garden looks just like this post: you construct a fertile garden bed without digging up anything by layering materials on top of a newspaper layer. "Brown" materials such as peat moss, dried leaves, wood ash which provide carbon, alternating with "green" materials such as grass clippings, compost, barn waste which provide I don't know nutrients or whatever. When you have a foot or so, you just stick some plants in and pray.
Now, aren't you glad you asked?
Hi PainterWoman, welcome to the barn. Good luck on the roof. This is my dh's philosophy -- don't take the insurance money for the ceiling that fell down and the leaking roof, because then your insurance rates will go up. Um, why are we paying for it at all?
I have to sort stuff for a yardsale my MIL is having. DD is raising money for music camp. I think she might make more money if she just puts out a hat and plays the guitar.
