marinessWriting accomplished today: so far, none.
Making the world, or at least the yard, a slightly better place accomplished today: addition of a few more miniature roses, and in the back of the yard, addition of a blueberry bush and a blackberry cane (it was supposed to be raspberry but my ability to read clear and concise English not to mention comprehend a completely obvious picture of blackberries, not raspberries, utterly failed me today).
I don't know if we'll actually get any fruit from the yard. We've planted what is in theory pink grapefruit in the front, and a fig tree that is happily producing leaves in the back, along with a gardenia and various native Florida plants and wildflowers to attract different butterflies. So far, to be truthful, it all looks rather scraggly, but my mild pruning of the scraggly roses that were already here appears to have been enough to get them to shoot up new - and equally scraggly looking -- vines and branches. And a new rose bush in the middle appears to be doing well (in the sense of "not dead yet" a week later.) And vegetable seeds are in the ground, apparently brooding away.
Celebrating critical holidays accomplished today: Have obtained, after unquestionably too much thought, a chicken pot pie and a blueberry pie. I almost picked up an caramel apple as well, but I will not be home enough this week to eat that much pie, so, pie next week. It's the sort of holiday that you can celebrate more than once.
We'll see if the pie does anything to unlock the tangled words in my brain.
