These were our pea sprouts two days ago, they've grown at least another two inches since then. Amazing! The only seeds that haven't sprouted are the zucchini and...some of the flowers, I think. By tomorrow night we'll have picked up some compost to mix in with our red clay "soil" in the yard and then it's a matter of building some beds.

We've been fortunate enough to have a neighbor with a wireless signal we could pick up on, but mysteriously we can't connect to it anymore. After calling the cable people to set up our own internet service they told us that our house was listed as "unserviceable". Naturally, we attribute this to the sketchy dude who lived there before us - unserviceable because his dogs were extremely mean? Unserviceable because the man himself was extremely mean? Perhaps because there was an electric fence around the property? All of these? They say they're checking on it and we should know by Wednesday.

I'm considering tomorrow the start of a new week. The most exciting part of this new week is that Cynthia and Leland will be here! We'll get to do all sorts of fun and refreshing things like go to the arboretum, even take a trip out to Chimney Rock, spend some time downtown, and what I'm really looking forward to: going out to eat.
