I wrote just over 2k words today. Am behind two chapters in beta work. Am far behind with knitting, but never mind that. The sweater ain't gonna run away, right?

And I fully blame

voxangelus for the playlist. *nods gravely*

It's raining again, oh what a surprise. First it doesn't rain for months on end. Then it rains so much the river floods the farmland. Something out there is going crazy.

The seeds I put out into some coffeegrain-laden earth have all sprouted, I'm so pleased! They be: cilantro, basil, oregano, and parsley.

And the one tomato I planted conventionally is thriving. I shall picspam later. The other five all fell victim to a basic hydroponic experiment, which saddens me greatly. Reading about hydroponics, researching it, watching videos about it gave me so much hope, but alas. Only the spinach and oregano, both from seed, are still thriving. They shall have to do for now.

I love days like today when the weather forecasters overestimate the temperature. Which was to be 63, but it never rose above about 57. Lovely. And the cloud cover was absolutely beautiful. I realise it's the last of such beautiful days *sigh*. But the next winter will be there soon. Yup. Seven months or less. Sounds positively good.

Oooh! What did you write? And have you seen the video for "Return to Innocence?" It was so lovely, it made me cry.

And I'd be darned worried if the sweater manages to run away. I decided today that I'm going to knit (yes, knit, not crochet) an afghan, if it KILLS me. Making blankets is the best way I've found to speed up a craft in one's hands.

Do tell me about the coffee grains for planting. Our garden is such a disaster for growing anything, as we have a number of large, very well-established plants in a small space, and they take almost everything.

(I cannot take out a 10m pine tree, 40-yr-old bougainvilliea ditto honeysuckle, and don't want to get rid of the lemon tree or orange tree. There is ivy everywhere in the fences/hedges, and... Well, suffice it to say it's not very fertile.)

Congrats on the word count! Seems like those super-productive days are few and far between, lately. The play list is impressive; I even recognized a tune or two! Hydroponics seems so sci-fi to me; I think it's wonderful that you're trying and learning about it.

Yay for spring in the south! And, of course, boo for summer ...

Oooh, I need to do a classical/art song/aria playlist now. Singing is happiness, yes it is.

It's fun to plant all those little plants in the spring. Unfortunately for me, the harvesting/freezing/canning always comes just as the school year is starting--just when I don't have time to do anything extra. I'm still deciding whether I'll do a very small garden at our new house or not. Well, enjoy spring while it lasts; it never seems to last long enough for me either.
