I've had a fairly productive week. I've gotten over half of my garden chores done, and my work is almost finished (and not due till Tuesday!) In the last couple of days I've planted five bamboo-and-twine trellises with moonflowers and morning glories, planted a big tray of flax and a few pots of forget me nots, primroses, and dame's rocket, and ( Read more... ) -

I got about half of my backed-up garden chores done today. I mixed up a batch of improvised potting soil, scrubbed 50 or 60 plastic pots, cut about 20 bottles down to make greenhouses, and made my first batch of paper towel roll peat pots. By the time I'd gotten all this done, I didn't have the energy to actually plant anything...just as well ( Read more... ) -
I'm Back...
Well, I had the urge to start updating my journal again. Not that my life has become more interesting or anything, but I guess it makes me feel a little less isolated ( Read more... ) -

I've spent most of the last few days cleaning. I'm just in the mood to get rid of things...I'm such an awful packrat! I've lost count of how much stuff I've thrown out or given away, and I still feel like I haven't decluttered enough. I can't resist used book sales or craft sales, and I apparently once had absolutely no resistance to anime-related ( Read more... ) -
What I've been up to...
Whew...i just got finished with all the garden chores I've been putting off until a cool day. After neglecting it for two years, it feels good to take care of it again. It looks pretty good if I do say so myself. Now that all the major stuff is out of the way, all it takes is a little maintenance every morning. (Although I do plan to start a bunch ( Read more... ) -

Lost In Space
I am completely wiped out. I made the mistake this morning of zoning out while walking Shadow and the next thing I knew we were lost in the woods! The strange thing about this is that I've been playing in those woods all my life and never gotten lost, even when I was trying. I guess it's just been too long ( Read more... ) -
Pictures again!
I got really good results doing my photography outdoors today! It still needs some fine tuning, but I feel like I'm getting there. Hopefully the weather will be decent again tomorrow so I can work on it. I'm really relieved because it seems like my last try was a dismal failure. (I took the crappy lamp back to Michaels and consoled myself by using ( Read more... ) -

Whew...I just made 168 beaded stitch markers in 2.5 days. Last Sunday someone at my knitting group saw the ones I had made for myself and said she could probably sell them at the knitting convention she's going to. The only problem was the convention is this weekend and she needed them by Thursday ( Read more... ) -

I'm on the tea and cough drop diet. I've been through two boxes of tissues in less than a week, and it shows no signs of being over. It's not the worst cold I've ever had, but it has an annoying habit of getting better for a little while and making me think it's going away when it reality it's just settling into another part of my system. Between ( Read more... )
