Hey, I was just looking at those notes you sent over the weekend about the garden plan. I think the raised bed idea makes a lot of sense, especially if we keep the corner plot for the herbs. The way the morning light hits that side of the yard is pretty consistent through the spring, so basil and chives would probably do really well there. I also saw the sketch for the little stone path, and honestly it looks like it could be a nice weekend project. We should probably map out the watering lines before we commit to the pavers, just so we don't end up digging twice. The neighbor mentioned they have a spare wheelbarrow we can borrow, which would save a trip to the hardware store. I can stop by after work on Thursday if that works for you. The soil test results came back clean too, which was a relief. No need to overcorrect with any heavy amendments. Just a bit of compost and we should be set. Let me know what you think about starting with the path first versus the beds. Oh, and I found a few old terracotta pots in the shed that we could use for the entryway plants. They've got some good patina on them already. We can rinse them out and see if they hold up. Talk soon.

I hear you about the thermostat schedule, and I think switching to the new settings has already made a difference in the upstairs hallway. The old pattern was cycling too often in the afternoon, and now the room stays comfortable without the constant hum. I checked the filter last night and it still looks clean, so we can probably wait another month before changing it. The new timer on the porch light has been working well too. It clicks on just after sunset, which is exactly what we wanted for the longer evenings. I also moved the small bench back under the side window, and I think that makes the entryway feel more open. If you want to borrow the level and the stud finder, they are on the shelf in the garage next to the paint cans. The boxes from last week are all broken down and ready for pickup, so that should clear up a little floor space. We might have enough room to finally set up the folding table for the board game night. Let me know if Friday still works. I was thinking we could try that new pasta place after, nothing fancy, just a quick bite. It has a good patio from what I saw. Anyway, see you later in the week. Thanks for handling the recycling bin too, I completely forgot. Talk soon.
