an evening stroll in the garden

ahhhh, the taste of a bean eaten right from the bush but shush dont tell anyone cause they aren't really ready yet.  im just cheating.  just a few thoughts as i wander through the garden and check on the state of things.  first stop, the greenhouse, it needs more mulch. more, more, and then, even more.  i water like crazy and it is still dry.  hmmm, dead bird must clean that up.  think about bells for the cats.  check out my replanting of carrots, fix the stakes that sort of keep the cats out, eat a few shelling peas that are just not plumping up.  ::frown:: oh! the calendula is starting to bloom.  i have released the raspberries to the kids.  no more picking and freezing for me.  eat a few more peas (snap, this time) and then onto the aformentioned beans.  decide to dig up another garden tomorrow for winter plantings.  it is full of lemon balm, stuff grows like weeds so no big loss there.  need to harvest my biggest bunch of rhubarb soon.  what is wrong with my dill.  aphids? fuck.
ok, done with the garden now onto some school things we have been doing.  so yeah, starting to get a little worried that the math book goal for the end of summer will not be completed.  need to focus on everyday.  havent done a page in a day in about a month.  but we have swum, stargazed, bushwacked, neighbour visited, baked, baked, and baked our way through the summer pretty good so far. 


conserving valuable resources or too cheap to buy a new bbq scrubber?

beans, raspberries, a lot of mulch and a dead bird. Snap! where is that cat? I would like to have me some of your dill, I love dill. Even if it's dry. Even it's not up to your standards. Does it smell good? It must.

Fuck the books. Your summer sounds sooo nice.
