A lull in the battle
May. 3rd, 2008 12:13 pmI have no fictions to work on atm, and I'm not (unlike last weekend) going out of town, so I am enjoying a stress-free Saturday. I am taking a pause between washing dishes and making lunch to list out what I want to get accomplished this weekend. Lists are somewhat of a double-edged sword; on the one hand they help me prioritize, and on the other I usually list more than I could reasonably get done and end up Sunday night feeling worthless. But, so many things make me feel worthless I've decided the increase in organization is preferable.
One of the things I'll have to put down is 'go for walk'. I live in one of the older parts of town, so there are lots of trees and flowers to look at. The Bradford pears are on the downward slide, but still holding on; the crab apples are in full cry and the lilacs are just coming online. Also, daffodils and tulips everywhere.
I need to think about what I'm going to do garden-wise as well. I loved picking (more accurately: eating) fresh green beans last year, but once again most of the heirloom tomatoes disappointed me production-wise. I think the Black Cherry tomato was abundant, though--I should go back through my LJ entries and confirm. I'm pretty sure that I continued to fail at getting tomatoes out of Nebraska Wedding. *sigh* The scarlet runner beans were completely done in by the summer heat, so that's off the list. Also, I have decided to grow more cutting-type flowers so that I can treat myself to flower arrangements.
