I have spent the last couple of days catching my breath. Monday I had a ton of things I had to do related to the tour, but yesterday I took it easy. Today I felt like getting some things done around the house. It’s still completely trashed, but I did accomplish a few things. Creative Sisterhood is tomorrow and my goal is that we’ll all be able to sit comfortably – not something that’s really possible right now.
Tonight after it cooled off I went out and dug some more flower bed area and planted more calla lillies. I adore them so I’m hoping they do well. I discovered a few more that are peeking through from when I planted them some weeks ago. I didn’t plant these as deeply. I’m not sure exactly how all this gardening stuff works, but I know the gladiolus I planted as deep as they said to have not popped up and the others are about two feet tall. So, seems to me planting them a bit more shallow is a better idea. Maybe time will tell me that was a big mistake. We’ll see.
My tomato plants are doing great. I have lots of green ones, but nothing anywhere near red yet. The pepper plant still looks very sickly. I put in an oregano plant today. The herbs are perking up a bit. The basil is doing great. I’ve got some olive oil with fresh basil in it in the fridge right now. I’m planning to have it over fresh mozzarella and tomatoes in the next day or two.
Tomorrow I have some work to do, and then I’m going to work on my life more. In fact, I think I may set the alarm for a very early hour and try to get outside while it’s still cool and do some things.
Working on the tour so many hours every day I just let my life fall apart. I need to devote some time and attention to it. For some reason, it seems even harder to get things done when it’s such a mess. But, I guess I will. I have to.
