Month: June 2011
The yard work is done (almost) …
For this year anyway … Each year I add to our growing gardens/flower beds/landscaping. Since our house is in the middle of what used to be a hay field, I’ve had lots of planting to do. In the first few years, I would surround the house with annuals – in pots, no less. I quickly …
Hibernation …
So … I seem to have fallen into a strange routine. I’ve been sleeping 11+ hours on Mondays. This is bizarre to me, as I typically function on 4-7 hours of sleep and then magically wake up, whether I want more or not … My only complaint is that I’m waking up at strange hours …
