It’s Saturday, it must be Chore Day
But I’m sitting here typing.

Yesterday I got all the dahlias in. I lost a lot in the “I’m going to divide my dahlias this year disaster (scroll down to Mar 2).” But I had plenty left and I bought a bunch of new ones which you will get photos of later this summer.

Do you ever go out to the yard with more tools than you come in with? Where do those tools go? I like to use a cheap kitchen knife for lots of stuff and now I’ve been through 3. I looked through the compost and everything. Now that the dahlias, garden and flowers out front are done, I’m losing interest in gardening. That must be why my yard always looks only about one third done.

This morning I started a new book and I can hardly drag myself away. If I’m going to be unproductive, I might as well go finish it. It’s book #2 of Midnighters. Nothing better than a book you can’t wait to get back to.

I’m working on my painting project which I will write more about tomorrow. I’m taking apart my room which feels like the end of the school year in college where you take down all the crap you’ve taped to the walls and goofball mementos you’ve nailed up all year long. Except in this case, it’s been about 8 years since we’ve moved into the house.

I had more when I sat down but now I’m drawing a blank. I guess I should get back to work.
