Friday Night
I could…
go out to the garden and…
- build the rest of the bamboo trellis for the volunteer tomatoes
- plant french green beans and burgundy bush beans
- start a few trays of basil in seed starter mix, because the stuff I planted in the garden beds isn’t sprouting
- work on one of the ten writing projects I have going
- transplant the summer squash that’s finally coming up, but far too many to a hill
- plant more beets, chard & kale
- make a salad
- switch the laundry
- clean the living room
What I think I’ll do…
- enjoy the quiet (Chris and Lila off to pick up burritos for dinner, Ty next door helping Grandma)
- sit on the porch swing in the evening sun and read the latest issue of Cottage Living
"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."
~Henry David Thoreau

I love a girl who can prioritize.
