Minutes spent reading about planting natural-type plot of ground that will attract birds, butterflies, frogs and other such creatures, making me star of own Disney movie, tentatively titled "Anna in Washington Wonderland": 420 (but on Sunday afternoon when could do nothing else, so is okay)
Minutes spent picking out flower seeds at Lowes: 73 (v. bad)
Seed packets actually purchased: 11 (but put 8 more back so excellent)
Saturdays spent weeding the backyard: 5 (have decided is okay to leave roots in ground - as long as leaves are all pulled off, photosynthesis is impossible)
Saturdays still needed to finish planting grass: 1 (is blurry awful)
Trips to Lowes, Home Depot and Wal-Mart to purchase garden supplies: 9 (awful)
Bags of mulch purchased: 16 (but still need more - not good)
Bags of grass seed purchased: 2 (Kentucky Bluegrass so will reflect my heritage)
Amount of ground grass seed will cover: 4200 sq. feet (v.g.)
Amount of ground actually planted: 70 sq. feet (but will lead to lots of grass making lawn perfect in manner of baseball outfield)
Hummingbird feeders purchased: 2 (will have a new sanctuary for lost hummingbirds of the world)
Tall iron crooks purchased to hang hummingbird feeders from: 1 (earning "shepherd" comment from fellow shopper who was v. cute)
Hummingbirds actually using said feeders: 0 (catastrophe)
Minutes spent imagining lounging in long white sundress on luscious grass: 1,433 (v. v. bad - must find new hobby in case grass does not actually grow in)
