I’m bored and not especially sleepy. That’s always a bad mix. The only tabs still open in my browser are news stories sure to get my blood pressure up and a documentary about Monsanto, which I have little doubt will make my head explode. In other words, nothing I should be reading or watching before trying to go to sleep.

Didn’t get much done today, but then I knew that would be the case when I woke up this morning sneezing and congested. I didn’t bother taking an allergy pill, because I at least wanted to get something done, but boy, was I moving slowly. Hate that.

The most important task accomplished today was killing bugs and harvesting seeds in the garden. Plenty of Calendula and Black Seeded Simpson seeds are finishing drying in the laundry room. Tomorrow, when I go out to do some more weeding, I think I’ll pull up the Fava beans. They’ve stopped blooming, and the beans are big and fat. There really isn’t enough to even bother eating, so I’ll be drying those for another attempt at them this fall. I can’t say I am not disappointed, because I am. Also, if the broccoli and cauliflower seeds don’t hurry up and get ready to harvest, they’ll just be going in the compost heap. I need Bed One open and ready for planting NOW.

The only other thing of note that happened is that I had what I would call a major breakthrough is freeing up my artwork. I’m not even going to explain. I’ll just show you as I finish up and declare done a few canvases over the next week or so. Yes, I will actually be showing off some of my paintings. It’s been a while since I’ve done that, and I apologize. I just haven’t been happy with any of them, but that’s about to change! I’m kind of excited. Oh how I love finally getting over a major obstacle … like my own mind and methods.

Think I’ll close up the browser, make myself a nice cup of herbal tea, and go watch a craft show or two. I’ve been hogging the DVR with all my sewing, knitting, cooking, crafty-whatnot shows again. LOL!
