When the pollen flies about like snow; tis time to bring out the big guns...

Otherwise known as the happy pink anti histamine pill. I love spring and fall, they are truly my favorite times of the year. Today, I watched through fuzzy eyes as little tufts of pollen, or something that must be related to pollen flew through the air. It actually looked like it was snowing. I am very happy with this year's garden. We made raised beds. And, by "we", I mean that I explained where I wanted them and and then other people made them. I think this arrangement worked out rather well. I did fill them, do all the planting, and plan where things were going to go. Since I am still busy with the end of the quarter school stuff, I have helpers to take care of the watering. This is really the best kind of garden to have.
I also was able to harvest already, which considering how odd the weather has been is pretty shocking. Last year, no rhubarb, I stupidly moved it at the wrong time and angered the plants so they refused to produce. This year.... Tomorrow, I am going to harvest some more and make a strawberry-rhubarbe pie. Life is good.
So, how have you all been?

Zeitgeist and the month of December…

makes I am planning to blog through the month of December, you know one of those blog everyday kind of clubs.  I like the idea of them a lot – though I’m not promising anything spectacular, because I tend to get sidetracked a lot, but I am planning to blog at least a little. I wasn’t even going to bother attempting another one of these things – the dismal failures and the guilt, the added stress from the guilt, who needs it really!?! I suppose if I actually made it all the way through I’d feel pretty awesome but it’s all good. Actually, what most excited me about this blog all the month thing was the theme – Zeitgeist – isn’t that just one of the coolest words ever? It just sounds cool.  I am thinking of adopting it as my theme for 2011 – I’m not joking, I like it that much. In case you don’t know (or haven’t googled a defintion yet) here’s an overview of the meaning from wikipedia : is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." Zeitgeist is the ge...

Where I've been... well, nowhere really. I have been trying to stay off the computer and get some studying done. Obviously this is not working very well since here I am, but it is an effort. This new test I am studying for to determine whether I'm cool enough to enter the Education program at Western Washington University is scaring the pants off me. I really wish they would accept my already passing Praxis scores as I have already gone through all the freaking out, stressing out, studying and lack of sleep for that test. I don't test very well. I really never have. I am full of that panicky test anxiety right up until the professor, etc says go, and then I calm down and keep telling myself, you know this or you don't... just breathe goober. I am almost always convinced that I'm going to fail, and fail badly and I can't remember actually ever failing, but it could still happen. So, now I stay up late (because that's the only time it's quiet here) a...
