accomplishments in the gardens since yard sailing nirvana

1. Many happy plants in the gardens--new, relocated, from seed. The orange and yellow poppies are perfect by the deck.
2. Three nirvana pots of happy plants.
3. The old girl is still alive and kickin' or at least breathing and wandering.
4. Father's Day featured the best 1/2 pot roast in a long time. And due to a slight miscommunication between Jr. and me, we will have another 1/2 of that pot roast soon. (Turns out Jr. thought that because the pot roast came from the Costco meat department that it wasn't one 5-lb roast, but was in fact two 2 1/2 lb roasts.)
5. Survived another Jensen family party with cheesecake.
6. Many wee cheesecakes are in the fridge in the gardens left over from the JFP.
7. New plantings require watering, which requires many visits outside with the hose.
8. I've developed this urge to run, something I've only done in the past to entertain gym teachers laughing at my clumsy lack of coordination. Don't know what this running desire is all about, but I'm on it. Sometime. After I think about it for a while. And no. We haven't gone for another hike. Not for lack of interest, simply an increase of summer colds/fevers/aches. Perhaps this Sunday will be the next hike day. Or sometime after that.
