dedekind_cutCrappy week at work.
Quiet week at home, with Larry off on a long camping trip. We got a bit of much-needed rain for the garden. It's October and the leaves haven't begun to turn yet - a testament to our wet spring and cool summer, I think. The perennials are done, except for the toad lilies, mums, Autumn Joy sedum, New England asters, and a few late rudbeckia. I've tried several times to establish Japanese anemones, but they don't make it through the winter. Filled the bird and squirrel feeders today. Doing laundry.
I've found a new spiritual focus, a fellowship of folks who share some common values and interests. I'll be devoting time and energy to this over the winter.
Current books - R is for Ricochet by Sue Grafton, Buffy graphic trade paperback Ring of Fire, Earth Prayers for a daily meditation. Current snack - Krunchers potato chips. Dinner plans - Chinese carryout. Cats - sleeping in sunbeams on the waterbed.
Tomorrow I'll spend some time weeding and cleaning up the garden. I need to empty the composter, clean out the lettuce garden, work on the herb garden. The herb garden needs lots of work - complete restructuring, new and different plants. The cedars along the west side have grown large enough to shade parts of it, so I need to change my mix of plants.
Looking forward to winter's fallow time, to thinking and planning, to snuggling in the dark.
