We both got up early, but decided at 0600 to go back to bed, and for the first time in a very, very long time, it worked. We slept until nearly 0830. Ate a good breakfast, I even made pancakes - and they turned out.
The fork, as you all knew, and I believed you, made the next trench a much easier, more successful endeavor. I got one for $27, which beat the next lowest one of $38, most ran over $50 and up and up from there. The cheap one worked a treat, thank you all for encouraging me to get one. HUGE difference. Got done in an hour what took me three days for the first one, and two hour sessions the second. This one took me an hour, and it's much fluffier.
Found this little guy about a foot or so down. D amused, as was I. Gotta be a story there. Sibling punishment or just a game?
Lost and forgotten, either way.
When we manage the next more expensive project, the shades for the front - where the hot sun will blare in all afternoon in the summer, this is the color we are considering. There is a lighter shade, a Berry-something, not too pink, which I also like. But D wants something less formally tasteful - as defined by modern designers. I think "Sangria" would be lovely.
Moby taking over my lap whenever I sit in the music room today. Very insistent, too. Endearing, a little strange, hinders me from doing anything. I've let him pin me down several times before shoving him off - to his sighing annoyance. He's lovin' on me today, honey. D thinks this is the house he's always dreamed of living in, so now he is comfortable to be completely happy and himself, and showing his appreciation. I gave him a good brushing, got out a large ball of undercoat fur. Well, had to do something while I was sat upon.
We'll take the curtain on the doorway down soon, but it's nice to easily warm one room early in the morning. Cold weather is not over quite yet, not for certain.

Nice to get a house into shape. We've been in ours a long time. It's much harder when it's all more or less okay already, and going downhill every day.
You're welcome (garden fork).
Yes, shading the hot summer sun from entry into the home, good idea.
