I’m just going to pretend like my world is going on an even keel right now, and that, as I am one week away from being back in school full-time, with all the time constraints that will hold, things are great. “Nothing’s happening here….”
This afternoon I am headed for a concert at the state college, free because my mother holds a membership with the local art gallery. I used to suffer through them, but now, I actually enjoy going, sitting, and doing nothing but listening. The venue goes from Opera, to light Broadway, with Classical and Modern thrown in for good measure. We hear groups and soloists. One of the best was the harpsichord concert. I don’t know what today’s program will be, but it will be a happy and cool break from the digging I am doing in my back yard.
I have dreams of a landscaped back yard. I know I have the space for a truly amazing area back there. Instead, I have Dallas grass, Bermuda grass (very invasive), and a bathroom for the dogs. I am trying to make a sidewalk around the back, without having to spend any money. I have been on weed patrol for a long time now, trying to find an eco-friendly way to KILL THE WEEDS. I’ve tried vinegar and salt, but I’m ready to move on to just salt, and then to the hard stuff if I have to. My hands and hips are aching with the physical effort.
Not that I’m complaining. I could be in a place with no yard, no frogs, no fruit trees…
Time to get ready to go.
