They are on my tomato plants. Though… all in all it has not been a good vege growing season for me. With other things on my mind I really haven’t been giving sufficiant care to them. Still… bloody mites! I’m going to spray them with dish washing soap and water. Figured if the aphids don’t like that neither will the mites. On the flip side… my lemon cucumbers have come out and are quite delicious. …
… in general. (So, what’s new, Lecram?!) Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been like molasses. Its like I’m in a slo-mo bubble. I suppose (or at least I’ve heard) that this is natural. Of late, it has been too easy to just hermitize at the homestead… not that much is getting done there either. (Watching episodes of “Dead Like Me” and the Harry Potter movies hardly count as daily achievements.) Well, yesterday I …
The standard question is still, “How are you holding up?” This is quickly followed by, “What have you been up to?” The short answer is “OK” to the first and “… cleaning up, figuring what to do… and catching up on viewing TV/Movies. This week this includes… DEAD LIKE ME Both seasons are now available on hulu.com . (Click the pic to go directly to the “show page” on hulu.) To many citizens of the …
… for a bit ( temp-wise ) and getting back down to the 90s for a spell around the Big NO. A pleasent break but one that will bust my excuse for not venturing out. Though today I really don’t mind it. The business of life must continue. Yesterday, I cut up all the left over tri-tip ( had over 3) from the memorial and cooked it up into a curry… a “dry fry” at …
That has pretty much where I’ve been of late. Taking it slow (that’s the rest part) and changing routines (that’s the reset part). The fridge is filled with leftovers from Saturday so there is no chance I’ll be starving anytime soon. Friends are constantly checking up on me and coming by. All is good. Today, I have to get a little organized. This is obviously a pretty profound change… a major reset. There are a …
… sleep involved the last 3 days. It’s as if my body decided to catch up on rest. Friends are swinging by or calling to check up on me. Emails, messages and comments are also streaming in. Let me apologize again for my slow response… I will respond soon. Also, Thank You again for your care and stories that you have been sharing. They both delight and move me. Details for the memorial are coming …
… radio show called “The Conversation” that a couple of friends have embarked on. It was a fun outing and I’ll let you know when the podcast will be available so you can hear me drone on about The Business of Art. So watch this space for more. Anyway, this took me out of my daily routine between 11 AM till about 3:30 PM. So, I only accomplished 30 of my daily 90… which I …
OPENING LINES YOU DON’T WANT TO HEAR/READ FROM… your doctor “Um… about that spot on your…” your accountant ” Remember when I told you how safe that deduction…” your lover “We need to talk because…” your lawyer “Maybe it’s a good idea if instead of…” your bank “As of June the 1st we have no choice but to…” your mechanic “Well… ” your cell-mate “Have I ever told you… ” Guess which one I heard …
This morning I went to the block sale at Princeton with the lovely Joy and her podling. It was smaller than last year though I suspect the rain last night might have somewhat affected things a bit. No tamales… but there were home made beerocks. ::burp:: so, at least my breakfast was taken care of. Also ran into some friends like Lisa and her new baby in the picture. It was a pleasent outing but …
