Hi! Happy October.
Every October I am surprised by how busy I am. Every time.
Here are some quick updates: I had to cancel my Atlanta trip because there was a hurricane at the same time I was supposed to travel. I am graduating from crowns and getting my first implant later this month (that’s a teeth thing). I am *this* close to finishing my first fan fic (Polin, Bridgerton). If you don’t know what that means you are unlikely to be interested.
Everyone else: drop me a note and I will ping you when it’s up. As soon as I’m done with that I am writing another romance. Don’t hold your breath because I am super distracted by a million other things so I’ll be lucky to have a first draft by this time next year.
And: I bought some raised beds.
I have been re-habbing this corner of the yard for a couple of years and this year I decided to just buy the dang beds and get them out there because I was close enough.
I planned to buy two and see how I liked them. But then the website did that thing where a big pop-up ad told me it was a holiday weekend special and it was 40% off if I bought 4.
You know how everything looks smaller when you actually get it? I said: Sure! I’ll get 4!
Look how gigantic they are. They are, I think, 12 pieces, each individually wrapped, plus 60 (?) fasteners. It took me 2 hours to assemble one. I have 2 up and I more or less leveled them and started throwing some garden refuse in there. I am so pressed for time before the season ends, I plan to hold back the other two.
I can either assemble later or I might try to sell them. We’ll see. I’d like to give the main garden patch a nice rest next summer.
They are pretty though!
And anyone who is thinking: oh, look. A faucet. That will be so handy for your drip irrigation.
Nope. That faucet has never worked. We’ve had at least 3 people come out and look at it. It’s a mystery.
