Vitamin D and Golden Light So Good for the Spirit
Saturday morning and the sun is streaming in various windows around the house. The heat is off and we slept with a window open last night, a deep, glorious Friday-and-I’m-so-tired-sleep. Yum.
In case I’m unable to make time for real posts over the weekend, here’s the plan…
Chris’ friend brought over his mammoth branch (log) eating mulch machine last night and is leaving it with us for a few weeks. Let the wood lot cleanup begin. When they fired it up and fed it for a half an hour last night, Chris kept reaching for eight-inch wide logs and then whooping like a five year-old flipping the switch on the garbage disposal for the first time. I had to remind him to leave the bigger pieces behind for our firepit. I mean, wouldn’t it be silly to buy wood to burn after all that?
Calling the horse farm to see if they can deliver an emergency load of manure, if not then we’re driving over with a few barrels to shovel it ourselves. Will also stop by the local greenhouse to pick up some amendments and a soil test. I have potatoes and asparagus and raspberries that need to get in the ground post haste!
Mow the lawn. Eesh, it’s long already.
Take Ty and his friend to other friends’ art show at coffee house in Akron and then meet up with their families for dinner. Leaving Lila behind with her daddy. Will be good to have conversations without the constant interruption. Will have to curb my desire for ravioli and garlic bread at Louigi’s, and settle for salad.
Food shop.
I’m not adding anything else to this list. If I squeeze in some laundry and cleaning between other activities, great. If not, oh well. It’s not going anywhere.
Happy Weekend People!
"In summer we live out of doors, and have only impulses and feelings, which are all for action, and must wait commonly for the stillness and longer nights of autumn and winter before any thought will subside; we are sensible that behind the rustling leaves, and the stacks of grain, and the bare clusters of the grape, there is the field of a wholly new life, which no man has lived; that even this earth was made for more mysterious and nobler inhabitants than men and women. In the hues of October sunsets, we see the portals to other mansions than those which we occupy."

That sounds like a great week-end you have planned! I wish I could plant some asparagus but I won’t have a spot prepared for it this year. Oh well, I got my potatoes planted at least!
