Cleaned out
the corner of the dining room and brought a bunch of office stuff to my house
plus other items from the bathroom. Soon I will be out of the house and living
with what I choose to own. I don’t enjoy the heatwave. It was 80 yesterday and
more today. I’m cooling the house with doors and windows open until 9 AM and
then close it up. I weeded the rose garden and will bring duff from under the
hedge for ground cover.
Orange smoky sun.
I woke up with domestic energy and cleaned the kitchen. Only took half an hour.
Love having a small space. Yesterday we planted the yellow rose. Now it’s mine.
No plans. Another Sunday without church. I want to clean the ground cover from
the rose garden and clean the greenhouse. Always yard work. My paper journal is
calling for an inventory and I will do it. It has helped me ground and plan.
Loose ends bother me. Time to finish the moving.
Beautiful
morning. I dug a hole for the yellow rose that Shaun is going to bring later. I
have admired the deep color and it will fit fine next to my gate. It’s Labor
Day weekend and we will stay home. The town is full of tourists. Rude and
unmasked so we avoid public places. The massage
was also deep and wonderful. Karen does a good job for me especially my neck
and lower back. I like her extra care with Reiki and crystal bowls.
Rosalie had
made a place in the side yard with chairs and tables at social distance and
still close for conversation. Enjoyable and doable in Covid times. Later I will
walk to Karen’s for massage. I’m looking forward to that as my back is sore from the shovel event when I cleaned the
roots out from behind the gas tank. I may have overdone a bit. The roses are beautiful.
I was happy to tell David that I ma taking good care of his gifts..
Wow, waking
up with an event in store! Today I’ll walk to Karen’s and then we will go to seaquake
to pick up pizza and growlers to take to David and Rosalie’s garden. The sun
will be out by then and they have arranged chairs and tables for social instancing
and conversation. This new normal can
still be friendly and comfortable. It’s my treat and I’m happy to have a chance
to pay back for their generosity with plants and time. Out for a walk.
Foggy and
damp for a start. Will walk to market for green beans and cauliflower. Later I will
meet Ellen to give her a dozen of Megan’s flock eggs. I’m glad Megan thought to
share with her as she is so generous with us. My house is clean and I have rearranged
another place. I’m guessing the shifting will happen for a while as things
migrate from the house and Hollie gets her things from storage. I’m comfortable
and I enjoy the space. New life.
September
already and I notice the dark coming fast. Time to plan for thriving and not giving
in to seasonal depression. The LED lights help so much more than I thought they
would. I’m glad for the yellow paint. Today I will get out early for a walk as the
wind is coming again. It was too strong to enjoy walking yesterday. Chuck is
making buckets of soil for planting. It’s too late for starting new crops. I
love picking kale for my breakfast omelet
