In my heart I think I am going to do a post a day in November but the reality is that I can barely do a post a week right now. I was up early this morning and tried to complete one little computer project which, of course, had a problem and 1.5 hours later I still haven’t solved it and now I’m frustrated and frazzled and I have to hurry now and move to the next thing.
I don’t want to elaborate but there are extra responsibilities going on right now and I just can’t get on top of things.
At some point earlier in the summer I decided I wanted to try planting garlic. I think it was a combination of people talking about the garlic they grew and I probably saw an article. I did the research and bought Early Red Italian and Inchelium Red. Fortunately, I knew it was on the way and I prepped the bed where I planned to put it.
It arrived on Thursday and we were forecast to get about 10 feet of rain over several days and most days in the forecast were rain.
Meanwhile, I have another yard project going and my results have been super embarrassing and by looking in my archive I guess I never wrote about it before. I’m trying to convert my lawn into other plants but it’s slow going because I have a job and my aging body is like a shriveled piece of jerky that shrieks at too much outdoor labor and the season ends about the time I get around to it. I did a quick half-assed hour on that and then rushed to get some garlic in before it was too dark.
Then Friday morning I ran out and finished planting it. So I got that done. I hope the results are rewarding. I also did an afternoon planting but I will save that story for later.
In other news, last week I saw my first Christmas ad. Let’s mark it as October 22. Insert sad face. And I have received 2 emails from the same organization already begging me for my end of the year donation.
