Sunday Evening

After a few sunny, restful and productive days, the weekend has sauntered into Sunday evening. It's the blues, with a steady baseline. Last weekend I built a raised bed for the garden and yesterday I got it in place in the warm spot right next to the kitchen door. I poured over 10 cubic feet of potting soil and 6 cubic feet of a compost like soil amender into the frame, and it still is not quite full enough.

Other projects in the garden has involved clearing out the scarecrow anti-cat sprinkler, that happened to be full of earwigs. Probably the most disgustingest critter on earth. It would not be unlikely that this hell spawn showed up after the Fall of Man, with it's claw and general creepy crawliness. Enough said about that.

I have decided to start studying towards getting Java Certified. It will probably take about 6 months of studying, but even so I'm almost looking forward to it. There's something to say about learning to to a thing well, be it a craft or the art of programming. One thing that has struck me during this year is that development/programming can be a creative task of finding patterns and weaving logic and math into a comprehensive tapestry.

That's all for now. Time to go.
