Spring is coming

Our bulbs seem taller each day. Here’s a garden report:

The spinach is sprouting. I planted the seeds in three batches, two weeks apart. The seeds didn’t care. They all decided when it was time and began popping up.

The kale is a little more reluctant. And so far, nothing from the snap peas in the same planter. BUT!—

I had soaked and planted an older packet of snap peas in a different planter, before giving up on them—

THEY are making an appearance. So yes, I’m back to watering that planter as well.

And here’s a report on writing to music:

I work best to CDs. The sudden silence at the end of a disc lets me know it’s time for a break. (At least, for those times I’ve actually been concentrating,)

More than any other music to work by, I’ve played a CD found many years ago in a Goodwill Store: Theta Meditation System, from The Relaxation Company.

When working on my verse novel — my current state of affairs — the Celtic strains of Loreena McKennitt set me in the right state of mind for my heroine.

I hope you all have a great week!
