| Great-Grandpa Jack's moustache cup, which it's my guess he never used. And I won't either, and not just because I have no moustache. |

| My tea today is made from gatherings around the farmyard and on my walks: rosehips, yarrow, giant hyssop and pineapple weed. |
One thing about being "without work" is that I spend next to no time here at the computer, and when I do, it's to rest after being outdoors hoeing or transplanting. In spite of my intention not to buy a lot at greenhouses this year and to patiently wait for my saved flower seed from last fall to sprout, I've still ended up with three trays of bedding plants from area greenhouses. As soon as the weather is fine, I am impatient to get them all in place. I started with the pansies last night and got one tray emptied, and was tired after all the digging, and dirty, but satisfied.
Last spring after a horrible cold windy freezy weekend in late May and a number of my bedding plants dying from it all, I promised myself that forevermore I'd wait till June to transplant. Ha. Who can do that, when the sun is shining brightly and you know those plants are as anxious to get into the ground and spread their roots as you are to see them there?
What a great cup. Have fun in the garden, fingers crossed the cold has gone for good. Would you believe we are expecting 30+ today with humidity 36 on goes the AC.
ReplyDeleteYou are not working?
ReplyDeleteNope. The board fired most of the freelance editors and support staff this spring, in favour of half a dozen (if that) in-house editors they intended to hire instead.
ReplyDeleteThat is rotten.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they are going to go toward a wikipedia style?
Man....why do corporations expect loyalty?
Yes, something like that, I believe I heard.
DeleteIt really is rotten, when you think of how many years taxpayer dollars have been paying for the maintenance of the resource, and now ... heaven knows what is going to happen to it. Mostly I think its credibility (and perhaps usefulness, at that point) is going to dwindle drastically.
My fingers are crossed that the new management can handle a database of this size and complication without making a huge mess.
