Daily Notes- August 29th- Clouds. Might rain.

This dog lives near Boston.  Belongs to Dee.  Loves his Ball. I..actually LOVE this photo from Dee's blog.

So... the 29th of August.  I've got mosquito bites on my left ankle.  I let a large insect into the house when I filled the tall empty coffee jar with water and Jerusalem Artichoke Flowers as a gift for my next door neighbors. The "artichoke" (fart-a-choke) is an underground root that supposedly tastes like artichoke but causes an abundance of GAS in human intestines.  Fart A Choke.  Vegetarians supposedly eat them.  And they FART.

I consider them an invasive weed and pull them out of the ground when the soil is moist- not dry.  Any small bit left in the ground will become a three foot high or higher vigorous plant with abundance yellow daisy like flowers.  Bees love the flowers and I found many fat bees napping in the midst of the petals.

In a field they would be amazingly fantastic looking.  Right now they look amazing in my back of the house beds.  If left to their own devices- my lawn would be full of them.

Today is Football Evening and I have my ball of pizza dough out to warm up and rise to double.

I found two different half full bottles of fertilizer in the garage.  I sprinkled it over the Almost Grass. And now I'm watering it in.  Voles or chipmunks have made a few tunneled holes already. It's a losing battle to have actual "lawn" grass.  Tall green weeds- yep, those grow along with tall ferns.

But I persevere.

I didn't read yesterday.  That is how bad the nerve pain is in my shoulder blade.  A bit less today.  The Melatonin is starting to be effective and I sleep sans dreams.  I think the dreams might not be a good thing. I tend to wake just enough to try and edit them.  So...no reading.  Law and Order.  Ray has appeared so I need to find something else- I just don't like his character --at all. I don't believe I ever have watched the seasons when he is a detective.  Sigh.  Rough Time for him to show up.  So......what to watch.  Might be a good time to re-enlist with Netflix.
