Garden Growth–4th May, 2019
Rainy day, which was fine as I had a lot of errands and inside the house things to do. Temperatures made it up to the 60°F range, and as last night, another night hovering in the 50s. Continue reading “Garden Growth–4th May, 2019”
Late additions
It got quiet around here for a bit. What happened was I had a reaction to something and it took me a while to realize what was going on, and also to seek medical attention once realized. This has not been a fun year, medically, for me. I’ve got toes and fingers crossed this will be the end of a bad stretch. (Don’t think I’ve been this sick this long since college!)

Note to future me #8
I know you’ll be anxious a lot this year because once again there is so much you want to do and gosh darn it you had to have learned something last year, right? At least it was way better than two (now three) years ago, right? Yep.
Don’t forget you now have a porch swing to go to sit and think or forget or ponder or whatever. You will get overwhelmed. Take a break and go swing. Continue reading “Note to future me #8”
