so what did i do this weekend?

I'm typing this with nine fingers, because one of the things I did this weekend was bang the ever-loving hell out of my left pinkie finger with a badly planned attempt to close an S hook that was about a foot over my head at the time ... not smart.

The rest of the weekend was spent planting an herb garden (here's a shot we took during one of the rare non-raining moments during the daylight hours) and putting in some sort of a crushed-rock-and-paver-stone path along the side of the garage. It entailed shoveling about a ton of gravel, tracking at least that much mud on the driveway and helping me to realize that I'm just not at all blessed with upper arm strength.

Of course, I could do something about it, but every time I do, the pain is so intense that I just drop it. Lather, rinse, repeat.
