Autumn Yard Work

Now that the election is over, I’m motivated to work in the garden. If all goes well, I’ll plant garlic before the snow flies. The weather forecast looks good to get it done this week between planned activities off the property.

Because it’s been raining, I felt okay about burning brush. I need a place to store fence posts and chicken wire fencing. I burned it today and got the mower out to run over the tall weeds and make room.

Fallen leaves have blown off the plot where the garlic will go, so all I have to do is turn it over, fertilize, and run the rototiller through it. The hardest part is turning the soil over. I feel like working on it, something I could not say during the run up to the election.

I’ve been busy inside as well. Organizing stuff, getting rid of stuff, consuming stuff, recycling stuff. It’s been a week of stuff. There is too much of it and it prevents me from focusing on what is most important. Funny how quick;y the recycling bin filled today.

For the next while, my posts are going to be short and to the point. Increasingly, that’s the way I like them. So it will go.
