Death To Zombies

I’ve been working on the garden a fair amount.  But I planted all my existing plots very early so today I laid in 70′ more of fencing so that I can plant some more area without the rabbits chomping it or dogs stomping it.  This was mainly motivated not by the silly wabbits or the pups but more by my neighbors poor fencing that let one of his 30 goats hop into my yard.  While the dogs kept the wandering goat at bay, I still thought it made sense to protect the area before I tilled.  I went with T-posts and hog wire fencing because I may move and rent this place.  If the renter doesn’t like gardening, I don’t want to limit my options to just rip out the fencing and lay in grass.

To help motivate me to keep my butt moving I created a gardening playlist that I can listen to while I work.  I’ll warn the light at heart that it’s got a bunch of really wholesome songs mixed with some of my country favorites that are a bit more hardcore.  What’s that, you say, how could country be hardcore?  Trust me, Hank III(son of Hank Williams Jr.), and some of my other choices do have some choice language.   I don’t tend to play it on shuffle, so pay no attention to the order it’s listed in.  I’ve also included a few poems from famous poets of yore recorded on librivox.  Librivox is a service that provides free MP3s of non-copyrighted material.
