What we deem important, has been covered, brought in or dug up. The Amaryllis bulbs from last Christmas were planted into the vegetable garden in June/July and pulled up about a week to 10 days ago. They grew SO MUCH! Now the big juicy bulbs are drying out (resting) and will be potted up for a "later than Christmas" bloom time. Valentines???
Bulbs need a resting period. To sort themselves out and get prepared for the "big push" to make new flowers.
I think people need a resting time also. The freezing weather took me upstairs to look for heavy corduroy pants and sweaters. Nothing better than warm clothing, a down lap cover and a good book.
My eyes and the surrounding skin are burning up. I look awful. Dry cracking skin, swollen eyes, running nose, sneezing. None of the allergy products have any effect. Cold compresses help the eyes but dry out my skin. Heat hurts but then feels better.
My new glasses are sliding off my nose--getting the trifocal lines all in the wrong places. I am thinking the very fashionable-ness of them is a trade off to useful-ness. When I bend over at work-and doing repots--well, I am looking down an awful lot--the glasses swing away from my nose and just swing back and forth making me so dizzy I have nearly passed out. Or puked.
Being Joanne this past few weeks has been a big itchy, dizzy, exhausted drudgery. What am I allergic too???????? If it's the dog--then why not feel better at work? I just would like to not have burning itchy eyes, a running nose and congestion in my chest.
Made two batches of fresh picked October peaches (that's Maine for you) with my friend. She took one batch home, I kept the second. Better canning weather in October. Much. Peach Jam. Still have peaches but we're both out of sugar. (smile)
Have you tried using Foile ointment? I use it on everything from burns to insect bites. I don't know if it would work or not but it might be worth a try.
