Yesterday I struggled to get my mojo workin'. The craft room offered no temptation whatsoever.
Mid-morning, I said to myself, "Get up off your lazy ass and DO SOMETHING."
I did some laundry. Emptied the dishwasher.
It was a beautiful day, so I walked down to the garden to check on the tomatoes and peppers.
Over a week ago, I mixed up a tonic recipe I'd seen on YouTube - one packet of yeast (activated with warm water and syrup), one tablespoon of baking soda, and a gallon of water - and poured it around the tomatoes and peppers. I'd intended to do an experiment to test the validity of the tonic's claim by leaving half the plants "un-dosed," but I'd dosed them all, instead, hating to deprive half of the plants of a potential boost. Thus, it's hard to say whether the tonic actually helped, but one of the tomato plants had a couple of tomatoes on it, several more were blooming, and nothing appeared to have suffered for the dosing.
The baby rabbits were gone from the burrow.
I turned around and walked back home and spent the afternoon going back and forth between the craft room and the laptop on the back porch. Finally, around 4:00, I went back to the garden and planted a row of okra.
It's raining today. Maybe it'll make those seeds pop right up.
