Sundown

More gardening, some sitting in the sunshine, and the day ends with a Batman movie.  With all the holidays lately, it's hard to keep track of what day of the week it is, but we managed to get TallGirl to riding on time (and the poor pony who was due to foal three weeks ago is still fat and grumpy).

I may have forgotten to report yesterday that the grassy knoll is now grassy!  And a little flowery.  And so it feels like gradually bits of the garden move from fantasy to reality.  

The kids were overjoyed (I may be exaggerating) to discover that Henry VI part 1 (and 2 and Richard III) are coming up soon...  But tonight Batman.

Meanwhile, this is the almost-sunset view from the basketball terrace.  We are trying to put hard-standing in all the bits of the garden where we might want to be throughout the year for sun or shade.  This terrace does dual service as a flat surface for CarbBoy's hoop.  Later, we put the firepit to use and I learned very firmly that clumsiness with the firepit lid in bare feet is foolish.  Tomorrow's blip might be of my tetanus shot...
