I have become obsessed by the idea of keeping chickens in our unused side yard. I am waiting for a few days to pass after our late submission of rent so that I can call my landlord and see what he thinks about it...

A gardener bribed me with fresh lettuce from her [mother's] garden today. She wants me to get Jonathan to recreate the paths so that they're not narrow and treacherous for any elder who might wish to work in their garden. PSHAW.
