Basement tackled me!

I was working on the basement when one of the wobbly shelves collapsed and I caught a crate of silver serving ware with my wrist and a box of "stuff" with my left arm. Beloved rescued me and the stuff, but now my right wrist is in a brace. It hurts like hell, but I can move it and it isn't horribly swollen, so I don't think it's more than a bad sprain. Still. GRRRRRR!

Other news...I found a cute Japanese bridge for the garden and Beloved "haggled" the price down to $50. I'm very excited!

Eventually, I'd like to put in a "stone lake" in the front yard, surrounded by native prairie plants, the bridge crossing the stones, and a sun dial. I have grand ideas...not a lot of cash. So...piece by piece, I'm finding and buying. I'm hoping to do the stone for free via craigslist people who want to get rid of their landscaping stones, but we will see.

I also just treated the backyard this evening with a weed killer. It did a nice job on the dandelions a few years ago. Now the problem is crab grass and creeping Charlie. *sigh* Here's hoping!

I also found CHEAP shoe hanging storage thingies at Target for $2.50. I bought two of them in black and stapled them into the chest. I'll see if I can get an updated photo soon.

Beloved wryly commented that he could have made dividers out of wood, but my retort was that I would have had to wait on that while I'd already purchased the shoe dividers. *sigh* Our lack of time is a very sore subject right now.

But the projects are marching along, although the pace is slower now that I'm injured.
