It’s almost time for me to leave to get my hair cut. I’m really lucky that I can depend on my stylist, Michael Remillard, of Tangles Hair Studio in Greenwood AR 479-996-6366 to make sense of what lives on top of my head. My hair has always been thin, fine, and awful to work with, but now that I’m ‘mature,’ it takes even more. I come out from Michael’s looking like someone has a plan, and that means a lot to me.
After fighting to get both of our irrigation units reprogrammed after our electricity went off and on quickly the other day, we had another really short power interruption yesterday, making us realize we probably needed to do it all over again.
I also noticed, though, that several counties in Arkansas were under freeze alerts overnight. Not us, but it will happen soon, so we’ve now decided it’s probably time for us to turn off both units and drain the system as best we can for winter. That means our plants will kick the bucket since we’ve been really short on rain for quite a while now. In fact, the whole area is under a burn ban and a wildfire sprung up yesterday that they are still trying to contain.
We’ll have to get out our ‘get-ready-for-winter’ list soon. I much prefer the spring, when all is opening up again, rather than all this shutting down and prepping for possibly being stuck up on our ridge line. We have a great start on things now since Richard Billett came and worked on the driveway vegetation for us. And so it begins…
Enjoy your Wednesday. I hope it’s a good day for you.

glad to see things getting cooler there. But putting things away is a pain for winter. I have a little cabin above Palm Springs on the other side of the mountain. And this time of year the patio furniture needs to be put under the deck. But I’m having my husband seal the deck off so he doesn’t have to cover everything this year. But I must get up there and plant my bulbs for next spring Before it starts to get cold. Those pipes do freeze even if no snow.

Hi, Patty. How wonderful you have a cabin you can get away from things in and relax. I hear you on the winter list being long. I can mentally see you planting bulbs so you’ll have a gorgeous display in the spring. Lovely! Yesterday I THINK I got the irrigation units in the well house turned off. I’ll set my alarm for watering times today to make sure nothing bad is happening. We need to remember to concentrate on one thing at a time and it will all get done. Thanks for writing.
