Eternal sunshine is back. First, I will be watering and then I start stacking wood. I may do more watering late this afternoon to get a head start on tomorrow. And that’s going to be my exclusive concern for the sext several days—stacking and watering.
Yesterday was lovely and warm when I rose at 4:15. The sky was clear and bright. We walked with our friends, and then I came home to lay down the tarpaulin for the guys to dump the wood onto so that all the bits of bark and sawdust don’t litter my driveway. And while I awaited the wood, I learned how to block people on Facebook and blocked a few posters who drive me crazy.
It was a stunningly beautiful day with ideal temperatures. I watered some thirsty beds while I waited. I was itching to build another gutter planter, this time for wild Strawberries, but that will likely have to wait until the stacking is done.
The first cord arrived at 11:00. I stayed focused on watering. The second cord arrived at 12:45. After it was dumped, I lay down another tarp for the third cord. It arrived after Sheba and I had left for Dona’s place for our dog walkers tea party. And what a blast! I’d been watering or tying up plants all the time I wasn’t watching where the wood went when it arrived. I wanted to ensure no wood damaged the fence around my edible garden, so to relax with friends and to laugh and tell stories was wonderful on beautiful, beautiful afternoon.
When I got home, the third cord had arrived, and because Sheba had been playing with the other dogs at our tea party, we did not do a second walk. Instead, we had dinner and got settled into our normal evening routine.
This morning, I’ll be watering the beds I didn’t do yesterday, and then I’ll start stacking until it’s time to go to Claire’s to fetch my third yellow cedar bowl. Then I’m going to Pete’s to see what plants he wants me to water while he’s away. And then, finally, I’ll get back to stacking. I’m keen to get started.
It’s another beauty of a day, and it’s going to be a busy one for me.
