Today my roommate, once again, foiled my plans and saved my life. Ok, I'm exaggerating a little bit.
Per my watering the tree stumps last night, I figured, hey, no problem, they'll come right out! Forgetting my usual motto "You can never do things the easy way." As I began digging, I realized that I may be digging for months. The stumps wouldn't budge. My lovely neighbor came over and since she's an alcohobbiest as well, we began plans to remove said stump by tying one end of a rope to a car, the other end to the stump, and OMG HOW MUCH FUN WOULD THAT BE!
Overhearing these plans, the roommate then proceeded to use her brain and determine if this was, in fact, a realistic option. She found this:
super awesome stump removal instructions
and thus talked us out of possibly destroying the neighbor's truck.
So, mamasan and I went to our local Home Dump (the x bf's nickname for Home Depot) and bought that 17 lb, tamper head digging bar from the above website. Its pretty awesome, and its always fun to be a cute blonde walking around Home Dump with something that could double as a siege weapon. I could kill a lot of zombies with that thing!
Annoyed with the stumps, I decided to muck around a bit and work on planting some mini succulents in adorable cans from the Mexican market. I also added to my Drip system where my mom planted spider plants, and fixed other parts of it that had come loose. I think in the future I may do a series on installing a Drip System. But for now I have to straighten up the house for D.A.M.E.S. craft night!
