Ironies—

A brief report this week, due to non-writing pursuits. My focus has been on taxes (I was late last year), and some personal issues. 

Ironically, that means I’m spending more time watching DVDs while knitting a cap, activities to counteract the tedium which dries up my creative juices.

I found the yarn in a thrift store:

Seeds—

Taking advantage of Saturday’s sunshine, I planted the second third of the row (kale, spinach, snap peas). What I encountered was frozen soil, aside from the dry layer on top. From niece Sandy’s suggestion, I covered the seeds with wood to keep the moisture in.

Then on top of that, I spread a black garbage bag for warmth (which now makes the wood redundant). Oh well. Once they sprout, they’ll both go away.

And with the enthusiam that February’s normally sunny days bring, I’m about to begin sprouting more seeds indoors.

At home—

Breakfast was mushrooms on toast. I’ve got a batch of seedy whole wheat bread almost ready for kneading. And most days, I continue to put one word in front of another, even if it’s revision and nothing new.

Y’all have a great week!
