Maple trees have been releasing seeds for about a week. They are everywhere. As mentioned, I think the abundance is because the Autumn Blaze maple is dying and in one last effort at procreation is releasing them. We will hate to lose that beautiful tree.
Another short post today about competing demands for my time.
To get a garden planted I need to focus on that. I have a large garden and only a fraction is planted. I have been turning down other commitments to organize things. Specifically, Women’s March, Indivisible, National Education Association, Veterans for Peace, the county Democratic Party, and others have asked for a part of my time. I have to say no more than yes until the garden is planted.
Partly, as I age, I am slowing down. By the end of a six-hour garden shift, I am achy and worn out. I persevere yet have to manage my time, energy and pain to stay on track to get the right things planted at the right time. Thank goodness there is ibuprofen.
After a walk on the trail, I’ll be back at it. There is always something that needs doing.
