The heirloom squash I started was finally transplanted to the raised beds today. It may be Dec before I have them but they will be ready at some point. I can’t keep my newfoundland puppy out of the gardens! She is really not my puppy, but my kids and husband claim her so I’m stuck with her. My fear is she will tear through the squash and leave me with nothing. She is nearly two and a pain in my ass! Good thing she is sooo cute or she may be finding a new home.
I started knitting a cardigan sweater for myself last spring. I fell in love with the yarn…rowan wool in a chocolate brown tweed. love it! It’s one of those sweaters you want to pull out on a cold fall morning and wrap yourself in all day. The plan was to have it ready for fall so I pulled it out yesterday and started piecing it together. The knitting was complete but piecing it together is like sewing but with huge tapestry needle and yarn. Now all I have to do is select the buttons and sew them on. Can’t wait til its cold enough to wear it.
I suppose you could say it is my lack of discipline, and you would be right, but I don’t feel a strong spiritual connection lately. Maybe it’s because summer comes in and wipes out any sort of schedule I may have but you’d think with all the time I spend outside in the garden, in the yards, that I would be strong in my connection to earth and all she is offering me. Not so. When the kids are in school I find it so much easier to keep myself in line with a routine and with that life seems to fall into place on its own, including my spiritual side, in a peaceful manner. But now it just seems like I’m out here willy nilly. School starts in a little over a week, perhaps my body will catch up with my brain then.
