We adopted a garden plot at our local community garden and had a fantastic time hauling dirt on Sunday. After our unfortunate business in Portland with some dirt that was actually largely old asphalt roofing shingles, we've gotten really good at shoveling dirt into and out of raised beds. We met some lovely gardeners and neighbors and I may have found both a source for a burnt copy of AutoCAD and a temporary home for my wheel and kiln!
Local tip: if you order an iced coffee (or hot coffee for that matter) at Dunkin' Donuts, do not, I repeat, do not get it "regular." Regular = cavity in a cup.
