Hi, friends!
How did your weekend go? Good times? Productive? Relaxing?
Today it’s perfect fall weather here – cloudy, high 60s, some rain this morning. So I have the windows open to air the house out.
I built 2 more raised beds yesterday and got my fall vegetables planted. That was on day 8 of covid and wow I don’t recommend being that stupid. I mean I felt fine when I started, and I did okay until it became time to have to load up all the big bags of dirt and 40lb bags of compost. That led to needing a break where I just laid on the living room floor for a bit. But it’s done now!
I’ll bet if there was a vaccination for sacks Aaron Rodgers would take it tomorrow.

I love how he was showing off his new tattoo a few months ago. If he has a problems with needles shooting unknown substances into his body, why was he getting a tattoo?
Ouch
This morning I was about to let our dog out when a big hawk flew up off the ground into our old maple. It had caught a Mourning Dove and was in the process of killing it – I think it finished the job up on a branch. I went to murder scene later and saw a bunch of feathers.
Nature in all her brutal, unsentimental beauty.
Nature red in tooth and claw, as Tennyson put it.
We are still in smoke hell but at least no ash today. Our little town is having a festival so when wife got home from crazy backpacking trip, surprised she wanted to walk down before it ended. Ran into friends there & just closed down the beer garden. Good times! Until she got a call that Dad is in ER! She is now on phone trying to tell doctors there what they should be doing instead of what they are doing. Making her brother the advocate from afar too. I’m too ignorant to know how frustrating this must be.
Oh shit! I’m glad she’s there to advocate for him.
oh crap, fingers crossed.
Good luck hope he is alright!
I got an embroidery kit recently and have been working on that today. Came out not too bad for a first timer!
We got home safely without any drama other than a 2hr delay. Turns out I’m a better gardener when I’m absent. My pumpkin plant exploded from the side garden (small patch of earth that separates my driveway from the neighbor’s) all the way down my driveway. It is longer than my car (Kia Soul) and has a couple of potential pumpkins growing. I’m not sure if it’s too late in the season for them to reach full pumpkin status. I’m just going to park on the street and continue to ignore them. The leaves are dusted in white which is either ash or a fungus that spreads on the leaves of the surrounding maples every year.
