Monday News Roundup
- Sad to see that Alex is transferring, but you can hardly blame the guy. I wish him luck at his next stop.
- Manchester U vs. Chelsea in the first all-English Champions League finals, Wednesday at 2:45pm. Did you know there is a CONCACAF (North and Central America plus the Caribbean) Champion's League? I didn't know that until this morning when I was reading the soccer news. No wonder soccer can't make it in this country when no one knows about the major events.
- Saturday, we had Aaron and Sara over for Burgers on Brooklynne's new grill. They were awesome. Nothing is better than grilling in the backyard with friends and eating outside on a perfect day.
- Before the friends came over, I had a productive day including mowing the grass (Brooklynne mowed the backyard), trimming the bushes, cleaning out (most of) the gutters, tilling the garden, and going for a hike in Umstead Park.
- We got our garden planted before the rain came yesterday. The area we use for our garden gets really muddy when it rains, so last year we made hills running down-slope to channel extra water away from the plants. The result: the worst drought in recent memory. So this year, we made hills running across the slope, like you are supposed to do. The result: standing water between the hills. I told Brooklynne I was tempted to plant rice in the spaces between the rows. The good news is that I think we may be in good position for the drier part of the summer.
- Here's a list of what we have: cucumbers, basil, cilantro, carrots, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, bell peppers, watermelon, and maybe cantaloupe. I say maybe because there may have been a mix up what we think is cantaloupe may actually be more watermelon.
- Here's a list of what we are not planting that we planted last year: broccoli, hot peppers, beans, peas. The jury is still out on a pumpkin.
- We watched Gridiron Gang yesterday. I give it a B-.
