P.S.

My birthday is this week. I am not asking for presents. BUT, if you are one of those types who gives presents even when I beg and plead for you not to, here are some ideas of what I want:

4 4by4s beams
enough lumber to make a small and modest chicken coop (could involve tin, 4by4s, and chicken wire)
1 or 2 cubic yards of granite gravel
1 cubic yard of garden dirt
gutters
The Wine Lover's Bible

Seriously. Those things I was planning on buying until Chris decided to look for other work. I am sure they would make lovely bday presents. BUT you don't have to get me anything. Seriously.
