(no subject)

...except it turns out the OTHER thing standing between me and landscaping of doom is a sad lack of extra pairs of arms. I know I am capable of schlepping 1.5 tons of crushed rock from point A to point B, having done it last year. Brazenly brave and brawny though I may be, however: loading and unloading 150 square feet of bricks AND 1.5 tons of crushed rock AND a cubic yard of sand, by myself, brick by brick and shovelful by shovelful, all within the six hours or so that I will have a vehicle rented? Hmmmm, maybe not.

Well, I will have cheapass bricks, anyway! And if they have to sit in a pile in the throughway until the spring, well, it's not like it has to look nice out there in the winter anyway.

Le sigh.
