Helen decided we should plant it, but we didn’t have any flat spots to build a garden with, so we decided to build a terraced garden. I clicked some internet-ed buttons and ordered $1k of bricks and soil which showed up today:
In the process I found an almost flat spot and figured it was a good excuse for a $1k 8'x12' shed. I prepped for it today, it should arrive in a few weeks, in a box of about 400 parts:
Tune in next month to see if I can follow assembly instructions!
We lost our leaves this month. Here is a photo from 12/1:

Now debating flooring options: stained or epoxied cement, or tiled flooring:
We took the Amtrak train to Helen’s yearly medical conference, this year in New Orleans:
d festive town!
We met up with Aya and Eric there. Eric taught us how to run the penny slot machines:
Back home we replaced Helen’s makeshift standing desk with a fancy motorized stand:
Closing with a brain ice cube Helen made out of various spices. Pop it into your drink for an extra special experience :)
