elfsSo, I bagged work Friday afternoon to head home, and what did I end up doing? Working with power tools! I finished up the dirt box, where we've decided to store the mound of dirt that used to be behind our retaining wall but has since established an ecosystem of its own. Omaha and I dug out the finished and probably contaminated wood that was in the old woodpile square, then replaced it with the dirtbox and started shoveling. "You dig sixteen tons and whaddya get... filthy!"
While we were digging around, we discovered that an entire ant colony had chosen to set up a nice little home under the tarpualin we had put down to distinguish between the original terrain and the dirt mound. Kouryou-chan was fascinated with all the passageways, although oddly enough the ants didn't seem to be in too much of a panic.
Omaha gardened, mowed, and helped me dig. Kouryou-chan played on the swings, ran around with the neighborhood children, and generally made a terrible mess of herself and her surroundings. She does that.
We went out to eat at Wallys, a midrange fish place, not too bad. When we finally got home it was so late it was actually time for bed. It felt nice to do something physical, something that would get the blood pumping. I've been working too much brain stuff recently.
