Memorial Day Weekend Check In
Been nose down in school work lately. Lots of reading. Tons of reading. Lots of researching literature and writing as well. Real time consuming. Being honest, I don't feel like blogging and commenting much after all that. It's just all mentally draining. After spending hours reading and writing for school, the last thing I want to do is more reading and writing.
I do have a new course that started though. The material is stuff I'm very familiar with. So it comes second nature. Hopefully that means I'll spend a little more time working on some chores here at home now. And maybe even blogging and commenting here on Hive. We'll see.
Good news. My cherry tomatoes have finally sprouted. I thought they were a loss. Had written them off completely after the mess I made planting them. Seeds floating everywhere. Containers falling apart. A real disaster. But today I noticed them sprouting from the containers. Life finds a way I guess. The strawberries are still a no show though. May have to accept that one as a loss.
Still making a dent in the garage. A little at a time. All the rain we've had hasn't helped. I want to drag a bunch of stuff out of the garage and sort it that way. Can't do that with the rain. So it's been slow going.
I'm mad at myself. I let the rain cut into my walking. Even though we have a walking pad in the basement, I still did not walk at all this last week. Doom on me for that. I will do better. No excuses. The walking pad is right there. Rain doesn't matter when you've got one in the basement.
That's it for now. I'm a few beers into Memorial Day weekend and not much else to write about.
To all my fellow veterans, hope you're taking a moment this weekend to remember the ones who didn't make it home. That's what this weekend is about. Enjoy your time with family. Raise a glass. Remember.

Thanks for reading,
Joe

I totally get it. I tend to draft and a schedule and Hive slot at work, so when I'm not at work it's the last thing I want to do.
Yay for cherry tomatoes, brain food, and walking. 💙💪😎
Really suprised at the tomatoes. I didn't think thye would make it. Guess I am not too bad of a gardener after all :-)
Alright you got your tomatoes past germination, about half my heirloom tomatoes managed to get to seedling stage, I'll need to plant more to spread the modest harvest over a few weeks rather than let them grow all at once anyway. Rain does get in the way of being outdoors, at least I don't have to water as much. 🤗
That is what my wife likes about the rain. She doesn't have to water as much. But we have about another week of it off and on.
Enjoy the weekend and Memorial Day. It's always a rough day for me, thinking back on the guys who didn't get as lucky as I did and make it home!
Enjoy the beers!
Same here brother!
Happy Memorial weekend. My wife and I were camping, but we came home early this morning and it has turned out to be the far superior day weather wise.
Good to hear it ended somewhat nice for you.
I read the other day that good gardeners plant seeds and half of the plants die and the other half survive so it looks like they are better than they are haha. Remember birds shit seeds and they manage to plant things bahahahha
That is about what it was like for me with the seeds. Just a bird shitting and leaving. haha
Like 'eats, roots, shits and leaves?' 😂😂😂😂😂
