Saturday Scramble

1. Today turned out pretty good, actually. I woke up super early (thanks to Bing who was insisting breakfast be served at 6am), tried to go back to sleep, and finally said “to hell with this!” I ended up going out for breakfast by myself (blueberry pancakes FTW!) and then to the plant sale. I hadn’t expected to come away with anything, but I did get a wee basil plant for my herb garden, a scarlet runner bean for the lattice on my deck, and an heirloom tomato plant, called a Black Russian which grows dark purple tomatoes.

2. I already have two heirloom tomato plants in pots on my deck. One is a Green Zebra, and the other simply says “orange-yellow” on the tag. I also have two long planters on my deck with sugar snap peas in them.

3. Housework, including sweeping (!) and dusting (!!!) was accomplished. As well, the bed in the guest room got made up, and I pulled all of my winter clothes out of the drawers and closets to make room for the summer stuff.

4. One of the other things I’d planned to do was go to the gym; instead, I ended up having an epic nap. While getting exercise is important and necessary, catching up on sleep is also important. And since I don’t get to nap during the day the rest of the week and I do make it to the gym a couple of times after work, I think napping was a better use of my time.

5. Today is the fifth day in a row that I’ve posted. Lately, I’ve been ignoring the blog too often, so I thought I’d try to post a little something every day for a few weeks to get the creative juices flowing.
