Yesterday I managed to sneak out and take the trash down to the bottom of the driveway and deal with the humongous trash can without incident. My husband listened to my, “I’ll get the mail,” and didn’t even think about the trash. Today I’m hoping that I can do the same, tethering the empty trash can back to the pole. Fingers crossed. His back is getting better, but he’s still in pain and still refusing to see a doctor.
I started ‘garden tea’ yesterday, making a mixture of 1 part worm castings to 3 parts water in two buckets. It was supposed to ‘steep’ 12 to 24 hours, so I’ll pour some of it on the tomatoes and the rest of it on my square foot garden plants this morning. I’m eager to see if I’ll be able to see any difference in my plants this season. I have the two planters of tomatoes and then four of six 4′ x 4′ boxes planted with spinach and head lettuce plants so far.
We’re due for more severe weather on Thursday (oh, GOOD!) – just what we needed. One of my online friends was talking about snow in the Denver area, so that made me feel guilty about griping.
Later this morning I’ll attempt to share a video of an amazing artist I found. His name is Devon Rodriguez. He does sketches of random people on either trains or the subway in New York mainly. When he finishes, he goes to the person and says, “Excuse me, ma’am/sir. I drew you.” He then hands them the sketch – which is stunning. He won’t accept money. It’s free. Online he offers art classes and commissioned work. He just loves to sketch and ‘practices’ his skills this way. I hope I can share one of the videos with you.
Have a wonderful Tuesday.
