Took what I thought would be a short nap this a.m. to cure a sinus headache, and it turned into another marathon all-day snooze. Geez, where do these come from?
Anyway, dreamed that I had a small cage, with vertical bars only, like a birdcage only rectangular, or cube-like, or extended-cube-like. Do we have a word […]
When I picked up stuff for Grandma’s bird feeder the other day, the seed-store lady and I had an interesting discussion. She insists that she’s caught several squirrels with her Havaheart trap, while mine has sat, set (the trap is set—I’m not having sat-set usage confusions), on the deck for a year and nothing goes […]
It’s almost June, and half my plants or more are still inside. A good portion of that is, I suppose, because I’m dirt-shy after putting things out at a time that turned out to be too early last year. But my little gourds and tomatoes, still in the house, are starting to put out blossoms, […]
I think deciding to buy a farm share and let someone else do the organic growing might have been one of the smartest things I’ve done in a while. There just isn’t enough sun in my postage-stamp yard to make it good for vegetables.
Last night, I transplanted the green beans that have been growing first […]
Can’t recall any of the rest of the dream, but I was in Venezuela for some reason and the people I was with decided to take a helicopter tour of some city. The pilot zoomed us up and down city streets for a while and we watched what was going on (daily life, that is) […]
It appears that I may survive this virus, or whatever it is, though it’s had me aggravated and bored and irritable for more than a week now. Stupidest thing I’ve seen in a while: I’m tired and mentally slow, start running a temp at 2-3.30 p.m. every day, and the fever continues until I go […]
One of my favorite cousins, Bill Garnett, died a couple of years ago. One great everlasting regret is that I didn’t know he was sick, thus foolishly thought we had plenty of time to visit, since he lived just down the road in the Portland/Vancouver area. You can see one of his many public murals […]
Why is it that you always have the weirdest dreams when you’re sick? I’ve had some stupid “thing” the last couple of days–not sick enough to feel horrible, but enough to be draggy, achy, irritable and nasty. I intended to take a short nap this a.m. and wound up sleeping from 11 to 4.30 or […]
Been sick for a couple of days and slept all day today, which means I was very hungry when I woke up. Opened up my second good-sized package of the rolled-grain stuff I mix up from oatmeal, wheat, barley, rice, kamut, rye, and other grains from the food coop, and to which I add my […]
