Yesterday was in the high 80s, and today was in the low 90s!  Then it got windy and started to cool down, and tomorrow is supposed to be back to 50s/30s.  Don’t try to figure it out.  I just take advantage of it.  Loucious got a lot of frisbee in.

I spent yesterday, overnight, and today getting lots done.  It looks as if I just moved leaves from one place to another!   I do actually have a plan.  I cleared out some beds and roped them off, and I filled in other areas that needed leaf mulch.  No leaves will go to waste!  Whatever I don’t use will go in a leaf pile on the compost pad, to add to the bin.  There will be a pile of sticks, a pile of leaves, and the remainder of the compost soil to be used in the garden.

E came back from Europe this evening!  Loucious was delirious with excitation to see him.  E brought back all kinds of souvenirs and stories.  I now own a decorative Greek phallic keychain and a small rock from the Acropolis!  Our charcuterie/meeting was brief, but felt more like normal.

I actually slept last night, but the dreams were more intense and surreal than ever.  My mind is obviously trying to sort things out from my past while it’s still functioning.  It’s like doing psychedelics in my sleep.

I love how the bluebells and Jacob’s ladder are filling in that whole area of the woodsy edge.  It’s going to burst into masses of purple, blue, and lavender any day now.  Also, I’m calling it the year of the violets–they’re blooming everywhere.
