Settling In To A New Week

Greetings, hope you've had a nice start to the week! Since I work on Saturday, my weekend is Sunday and Monday and I'm still trying to get used to it. Today was the end of my weekend, most of which I spent pulling daisies out of every nook and cranny in the big garden bed in the back. What a weed!!! Now, we can finally see what else is there and rethink the whole thing and how we want to fill it in. The daisies aren't all gone quite yet, but give me another session and I'll have every trace of them removed....I say that so confidently, knowing full well that they will continue to pop up here and there for an eternity! But, beyond the daisy pulling, other tasks were accomplished and soon we'll be able to actually plant the tomatoes, squash and pumpkins out in the other bed...along with a few other items, yet to be determined. We never quite know what we're doing, but we learn a little more each season, which is mostly a question of not over planting. This year we planted two apple trees and have carved out a little more space for other edibles, so I'm excited to get things in the ground. That's outside....here's the report from inside the studio....dailies for MissouriBendMusings and 2 new pieces for MissouriBendStudio.

Timeless Words (not yet listed)

I am still pondering the imponderable....wondering how it is that I am now working 30 hours a week (plus travel time to and fro) and I have time to be in the studio, work in the garden and also to read, which I never seemed to before. It's still a mystery, as I'm not sure that I can give myself credit for being more efficient, but I must have stopped doing the things that were irrelevant.  Anyway, life is good....I'll take any moments of contentment I can!!  Have a great week and thanks for reading the posts here....always great to hear from you.
