Just in time

You can see the leaves that have fallen overnight. Just two days ago I finished grouting the walk. The main reason I wanted to grout it was to keep leaves from filling in the spaces between the rocks. It is also a rainy day, and the rain is forecast to continue for at least sour days. So, as I said above in the title: "Just in time."

Grouting the flagstone

Here is the walk as the polyplastic sand grout is setting. You can't see that it is raining.

















In the background are the unusable bags of polyplastic sand that were partially wet when I received them. The supplier is making good.



















This is a blurry photo of me a few days ago, getting ready to go out and adjust reluctant flagstonestone's opinion of me.

Slow sleep of stones


The poem is a meditation upon a path I am building of pink flagstone.

The poem count

When I started this blog, I started counting the number of days I posted a new poem. Today that count stands at 895.

However, I looked at the number of posts with the category "poem", and see that it says 901. That is due to the fact that on some days I have posted more than one poem, but added only one to the count because at that point I was counting days instead of poems.

So now, I am thinking of adjusting the count to show the number of poems instead of the rather irrelevant numbers of days I have posted a poem. That means I shall be adding 6 to the count.

I have started using a new theme, "EBusiness" a premium theme by Elegant Themes

I am still playing with it: most parts are working, but some are not.
