HA! You wouldn't think so listening to all of Hol's lectures to me about how I need to do X, Y or Z. My opinion is that once I stopped chasing after trying to make myself into whatever the goal of the moment was... it all just fell into place for me. She'll occasionally have a moment of self-awareness and mention that we are VERY different people. No shit Sherlock. AND I have 20 years more practice at everything too. Of course my priorities shift around - my perspective changes with that much more lived experience. Things that were once my obsession have faded in importance in my life and are no longer obstacles or issues to me.

It's ironic to watch her declaim in the MOST opinionated, sometimes biased way... how tolerant she is, open-minded, free thinking... I just keep my mouth shut, because I know life has a way of teaching those lessons that are way more effective than just me warning her.

How about you Hops? Are you content and reasonably happy with your current life? Sounds like you're still keeping a hand in with gardening, you have Pup for companionship - reliable assistance for the things that are important and loads more activity involving people than I'd be comfortable with. How's the writing going?

Well, I'm glad I waited to start my seeds till April. This month has been MOSTLY cooler than normal years. Our overnight temps have been in the low 40s and I really should've built a small fire in the woodstove. Temps like this are borderline too cool to plant out - herbs are OK, though. We've had enough rain to counter last summer's drought... so much so, that I need to till garden again. After I cut the weeds back.

I needn't have worried about it getting hot soon and waking up the bugs. AC is on - but hasn't been running.
The heat would be. We'll barely see 70 for the next 10 days.

Amber, I dread the buggy, sticky heat if summer, I really do.

I'm glad you're enjoying the cooler days.  Glad you're getting things done.
