Today while the guys went to visit Bri’s dad (and finally jam a large rug in my van for my mom that has been rolled up for months), I decided to plant the garlic I got from Burpee last week. I wonder if you can just buy the bulbs at the grocery store or maybe the Burpee ones are treated? Anyway, I sat at the table and pulled the cloves apart-I must have at least 30. It took no time to plant 20+ of them in the plastic upright container I use to use for a water garden. I’m wondering if I should wrap it up with something or get hay for the top? It gets cold here, but not brutal like up north more. I then checked out the ‘fall crops’ and the arugula, spinach and lettuce, mostly the first two, should be ready in a week or so! I only see a few beets (if that’s what they are) and a few radishes. Radishes always grew good for me. Maybe it got to shady out there. I may add a line of the garlic where the beets are suppose to be.
I took Mr. Cosmo Kitty for a walk. He hadn’t been out for a week or more. He really lost his nose in the garden area next to the front door, must have had a night visitor one time.
I’m getting joint trouble with my pointer fingers. I know cross stitching has to be the issue on the left-overuse all these years. The right hand isn’t complaining as much, but it’s definitely has the bumps on it like the joint on the other hand. I have been putting Icy hot on it!
We are going to get some nice weather this week coming up, but I really need to switch out the tank tops for sweaters. Hope Sean will be getting the stuff out of the attic shortly(still no job for him, even at a shoe store). Trouble with small houses with small closets-no storage. I envy my two sister-in-laws who have walk-in closets!
And I want to say how great Magic*Erasers are! Wow, took some stains right out of my sinks and scuffs off the walls.
Also-went to K*Mart and they had some cute summer things marked down to $2.99. I’m wearing the watermelon pink 3/4 length sleeve top with the hood and hand pouch as I type this. Really cute detail! I can wear about 3 different sizes, so that helps too. I buy larger if I think something may shrink in the wash. Watch for those sales!
