As go my garden friends, so go I!

I was a bit blue this morning, listening to a sad Greg Brown song and thinking about what's left of my Summer corn and sunflowers, turning into "sad brown skeletons" after their warm Spring and Summer days of happiness with me. The futility of the Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers did little to help, but by then I had been fortified by some coffee, dark chocolate, and a good vacuuming session. When I went out to check on my balcony garden, I was happy to see that my Fall snow peas are still looking good. As the green bean plants start to die off, the snow peas will start to climb. They enjoy our cool but temperate Fall and Winter weather. Did anything in particular lift your spirits today?

Do they prefer warmth? I'm wondering if I can plant anything else this Winter.

Got to swim with my "pretend son" today as well. All I have left to do is some stuff for my Tuesday evening class.

@DianneN Here in CA, low 50s at night can still mean 85 tomorrow. We were a bit cold by the time we got out, but we had a great time.

@TheHorse You certainly had a wonderful day! Looks like my swimming days outdoors are over until we get to Florida. It will be in the low 50's tonight! Brrrr

Everyone enjoyed the lasagne I made for dinner, even the vegetarian one made with zucchini, eggplant and tomato paste, with some of the same cheese topping as used for the meaty ones... Plenty left for tomorrow too ;)

@JudyEv Gotta look at my young friend's globe ball that we were playing with in the pool today. Oh, there you are, kind of way South of Japan. I reckon we share the same day for two or three hours.

@TheHorse It's always tomorrow here! At least I think it is. It always seems to be but I guess we're on the same day occasionally for a few hours.

I had a nice chat with my mom that made me feel a bit better because I do have a lot of stress on my plate.

The cold wind that dried up the air. I hate humidity and now it's gone.

Only thing was that I got to work more on gathering my material for my second book of poems.

After a disgusting display in football, I worked on my book to lift my spirits. It did a good job doing just that. I'm sorry about your teams.

@TheHorse Yes, something did lift my spirits and I found out that something that I felt sad about on Friday turned out ok and saw today that it was ok.
