Wow, I got a lot done today!

When I got home from taking James to school this morning, I started putting those new bulbs I bought yesterday in the kitchen.  It wasn't long until I ran into a problem, one fixture had a burned out ballast and the other one was leaking tar.  We ran to Bredfield's, picked up two new ones and the mail.  After I installed them and the rest of the bulbs, the kitchen looks pretty good with all the lights being the same color.

I was still feeling pretty ambitious, so I started changing out the lower liner in our small water feature.  I had found a bigger one at a garage sale last summer for $35.

After several tries, I finally got the hole big enough.  I needed some sand to put under and around it, so I hooked up the trailer and we headed for Swanson's.

I had told Vera about the pots Steve and Dianne got, she wanted to get a set also so Winco was our first stop.  I ended up picking out the three in the front of this picture.  I was looking for a UV light for the pond clarifier, I gave Home Depot a try on the way to Swanson's, but they did not have any in their pond supplies.  I did end up picking out all the flowers for the new pots and got a couple of bags of potting soil.  We picked up a half yard of sand at Swanson's and took the slow way home over Pleasant Hill Rd.  After potting the plants, I leveled up the bottom of the hole with sand and put the liner in.  I filled it part way with water and started putting the sand around it.  By the time I gave up, I was about 3/4 done.
