ceeloveHey, do you ever get so mad you could just pound concrete? Yeah? Great, then come pound some concrete for my birthday, April Fool's Day. No, really. I'm serious. (Can't you tell?)
Frequently Anticipated Questions:
What!? Yep. I'll be 39. Come swing a sledgehammer to celebrate. Oh, all right, the birthday is just a convenient excuse, come swing a sledgehammer because it's fun! In that Tom-Sawyer-whitewashes-a-fence kind of way.
When? Well, I'll be 39 at about 5 a.m. that day, but you needn't show up then. In fact, don't. No sledgehammers at 5 a.m. Between 1:00 and 7:00 pm, though, you'll be welcome.
Where? Oh, how about Moosecasa backyard, where (as always) there are projects that it would be awesome to have done. :P
Wait, is this a poorly disguised excuse for unpaid labor? No, of course not. I'm not attempting to disguise it at all!
Oh, fine. So what are you going to put me to work on? Well, there's the apple tree stump needs getting out, and there's that aforementioned concrete between us and its roots. And there's a herb spiral that has yet to be built.
Wait, it looks like that will take a lot of material to construct. Like, rubble. Do you have enough rubble around, cee? Well, gosh, now that you mention it, no. Bring me some, please! If you've got some rocks lying around, between brick-sized and concrete-block-sized, we could put them to good use.
…Weirdo. So, anything else I could bring? Tools! Work gloves (but don't worry, we've got some extras), a long-handled sledgehammer or pickaxe, and shovels.
What if I don't feel like grubbing in your backyard, cee? Come hang out anyway and enjoy the flowers. Oh, I know, you can feed those of us who do feel like grubbing!
So are you declaring this a potluck, too? Yeah. Yeah, that!
I don't suppose you'll have the grain mill/stationary bike set up back there to play with? Sure, if there's interest we'll bring it down!
Are kids welcome at this? Uh, no way I'm going to come between a child and a digging project.
Should I and my kids have work clothes if we're grubbing? Hey, yeah, good thinking.
Is there a rain date? The following Sunday, April 8.
Tl;dr? Come dig in the backyard, or just hang out, 4/1, between 1 and 7:00, with whatever combination of tools, kids, rubble, and food you can muster up.
