Trick or treat!

Halloween approaches and I am confronted with the prospect of Trick-or-Treaters! I have candy. I have a scarecrow (his name is Mr. Broomhead). I have jack-o-lanterns. Now we wait.

The Patio

Oh, to be unemployed in autumn with a bee in one’s bonnet! I decided the spacious backyard of my rental house could use a bit of tidying and restructuring, so, with my landlord’s permission, and on a miniscule budget, I set out to give it a wee overhaul.
I hacked away at ivy, I edged the lawn, I weeded, I planted perennials…but the major project was the new patio.
I found a boatload of bricks on Craigslist for $40. Hauled them back to my house in my unhappy Ford Focus hatchback (in two trips – they would’ve all fit, but they were a bit heavy). I had the smallest possible amount of paver base delivered from my local nursery (along with a loaner wheelbarrow) and, voila, the patio was born.
You can download an iPod/iTunes movie, replete with DVD-commentary-style voiceover, here. (Please ignore the near complete lack of audio editing. Clipping there is. Just didn’t care to do it over…)
