Summer time flows by and I've had lots of time to just 'be'. I have taken only one short trip to OH and that was fun. I've not gone to River City or anywhere. Can you believe I only fill my car's gas tank once a month, I drive so little? That doesn't mean I walk a lot, either. Just means I'm not going anywhere.
I have been working little by little in making garden spaces in my back yard. It takes forever to clear the grass and weeds, till the soil. I finally was able to afford some compost which I will be tilling in over the next two weeks. C&E have a couple rhodys and rose bushes I'm going to transplant to my place, as they are gearing up to do their landscaping. That's not much, but the ground will be ready next spring for whatever I decide! I put a tomato plant in a pot and it has two tiny ones growing. My yellow squash is not looking too well, my salad greens will be ready to cut in a couple weeks. In the flower garden on the side of the house, I let a plant grow that didn't look like a weed. Well, it is a squash of some sort, maybe even a pumpkin vine, who knows? It is very alive, growing big and lush. It will be fun to see what comes of it.
I turned another year older this month. Only one year till I'm the big six-zero. It's hard to fathom that I've spent so much time on this earth. I feel like I'm just starting to figure out life; not fret about my place in it and just enjoy the days. Especially these lazy, hazy days of summer!
I've gone to the school to look things over and now my mind is running on ideas to implement when school starts the end of this month. I can't believe it is nearing time for school to start again. I always hope to maintain the sanity I regain in the summer, but that only lasts a few weeks, and then I'm walking the treadmill that continually tries to throw me off by its irratic pace. I think I stated how happy I was to note that the admin actually purchased many of the classroom items I'd wanted, even though, last spring, I highly doubted that would happen.
My precious O is growing and changing constantly. It is a miracle to watch his typical development. I continue to think him a genius! I continually miss seeing all these little milestones develop in my Memphis babe. And I miss all my Memphis family more than words can say!
This weekend I am spending the nights at E&C's, as they have taken a little romantic trip to the city (E surprised C with it!) I'm caring for little O and figured he'd do much better sleeping in his own bed. When he naps at my place, he cries himself to sleep and then when he wakes, he cries again. I think he's just not used to it, as he doesn't sleep there much. I often baby sit at E&C's as it is just easier. The house is baby proofed and all his things are here!
Thus I have access to the computer tonight. C was kind enough to leave it for me.
Me, tired.
