checking in

Birds chirping even though it's getting dark, peepers chiming in behind them, plants hopefully equally tough in the falling temps. We're going from 90s to 60s and at night 40s; that's a big change for people and plants. Things are dry and the air is crisp.

After work today, I gathered up branches in the grass from the windy days we've had. Then I carefully hauled out compost and fertilizer trying to use my arm strength not my back, so I could start to finish the rest of garden plantings.

Sitting down on a stool to rest I realized my back was aching, and I limped up to the house and heating pad. At least all the buckets of stuff are in the garden and maybe tomorrow I'll  get a few more rows in.

I have an incentive; it's supposed to rain heavily later in the week for a few days, so do it now or wait a week Katie!
