busy bee day

Today I buzzed with activity. My main project was my container garden: 2 grape tomato plants, 2 crook neck squash, red bell pepper, organic red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, cucumber, orange mint, peppermint, japanese eggplant and a heirloom mountain tomato plant. I staked all the plants but the mint; for this, somebody told me, "You are an optimist." The seedlings do look silly tied to four-foot bamboo shoots. But, they'll grow... tall, strong... and straight. I also filled the containers with drainage pebbles and topped them with decorative pebbles to prevent as much evaporation as possible. You will be hearing about the vegetables and the gardenias, Goliath and Peanut. I should name the vegetables as well.

I also read in Acts. Paul had a lot of down time in his life (I consider jail downtime). I visited with G and then P in the hospital. Ran numerous errands of varying importance but with different levels of urgency. I watched the Belmont Stakes: man, imagine how happy the people are who bet on Da' Tara with 38:1 odds. Yowsers. I hate it for Big Brown and Eight Belles, but it was a solid race. The idea of a horse being worth $100,000,000 freaks me.

Tomorrow is another busy bee day, which is good. Projects energize me. Yay, sewing, gardening and writing club. I'm going to make a great octagenarian. I just need to learn how to play bridge.
