Okay so for the upcoming long weekend, I was thinking we could finally tackle the garden project we talked about last month.
I checked the weather forecast and it looks like Saturday afternoon should be clear before that system moves in Sunday night.
If you can bring your wheelbarrow and that extra set of pruning shears, I will handle the soil delivery and the new seedlings.
My neighbor mentioned the hardware store on Maple Street got a fresh shipment of cedar planks, so we can compare their pricing with the place by the river.
I also want to map out where the raised beds will go so we do not crowd the walkway.
Let me know if your schedule still works for around two in the afternoon, and whether we should plan for a late lunch after we finish the main digging.
I figured we could split the cost of the mulch and maybe get extra for the front border.
No pressure either way, just glad we finally have a window to get this done properly.

What You Should Know About This Pillow Set

Each set includes two pillows designed for cooler, more consistent sleep. Below are a few characteristics of this set:

Temperature-Aware Surface
The outer fabric helps pull warmth away from the head and neck during the night.
Breathable Fill Layers
Internal channels encourage steady airflow, reducing heat buildup between the pillow and the skin.
Balanced Support Core
The center layer is shaped to support the neck and shoulders without feeling overly firm.
Smooth, Low-Friction Cover
The cover fabric is selected to reduce tugging against hair and facial skin while resting.
Edge-Stable Construction
The side seams are reinforced to help the pillow hold its shape when you shift positions.
Easy-Care Materials
The set is made from materials that can be wiped down or spot-cleaned between deeper washes.
Standard Sizing Compatibility
Each pillow fits standard and most queen pillowcases, so you can use your existing linens.
Quiet Surface Design
The construction minimizes rustling sounds when you move, which can help reduce nighttime disturbances.

Availability of pillow sets is managed through the program allocation. The total number of sets available for this notice is 800. Stay dates and locations for the 2-night stay are based on program scheduling and remain subject to availability at select properties.

One Set Per Household. Ends Tomorrow.

Complete the short questionnaire to confirm your shipping details. You will not be billed for the pillows or the qualifying stay nights. This is available to you because you stayed with us or a partner hotel within the past year.

Redeem Your Pillows + 2 Nights

Thank you for staying at a Marriot Hotel. Your comfort and feedback remain important to our team.

Hey, quick thought about the road trip route for next month.
I spoke with my cousin in Denver and she said construction on the I-70 corridor near Eagle has been slowing things down pretty consistently between two and five in the afternoon.
If we leave earlier on Friday like around six in the morning, we could clear that section before it backs up.
She also recommended a small diner called Brownstone Cafe in Glenwood Springs if we want to stop for an early lunch.
They supposedly have a solid turkey club and the parking lot can handle a rooftop cargo box.
I mapped out a backup route through Highway 285 that adds about forty minutes but keeps us moving if the main road gets shut down.
Let me know your thoughts and whether you want to book the first night in Grand Junction or push through to Moab.
I can handle lodging if you grab fuel and breakfast. Either way works for me.
