Writing Mojo ~ Garden Goodness ~ Potato Dig #2

My writing mojo kicked in yesterday too.  Before I started any chore-like work, I submitted a short story. It felt pretty awesome to get this mojo back, and not feel guilty for sitting on my bum either.  I'm already looking for more opportunities.  The magazine I used to write for, went out of business.


Due to a busy schedule, and the need for me to drive a kiddo to get wisdom teeth out, I changed plans with the garden. I needed to bring in something that didn't require a lot work after entering the kitchen.

Instead of carrots, I switched over to dig another 10# of red and white potatoes.  I laughed and laughed as I dug those potatoes....singing "in the jungle, the mighty jungle..."

It is that bad out there.  Yikes.  It took much longer than I thought, to fight my way through the weeds to find the potatoes, ha ha!


The Kennebec did much better than the Norland this year, but white potatoes typically grow larger than red anyway.

 Biggest potato yet.  Mmm.

Oh.

The fox is back.  I could hear his call from the back of the pasture.  

I'm on alert, as I had my ladies, and stud muffin Sparta out free ranging yesterday.

As for "Grad" Daughter, she is home recovering and resting with an ice pack and meds.  Hopefully she'll be up to herself in a few days.

Congratulations on getting your writing mo-jo back and submitting a short story. Back breaking work digging up potatoes they certainly look good.
mamasmercantile, thanks. It felt pretty good to get both writing and gardening done, but I have many more potatoes to dig yet. I have some time, and the sweet potatoes need more time to grow anyway.

So happy about your writing mojo! The potatoes are gorgeous and so fun to dig up...like looking for buried treasure...literally! Enjoy!
Sam I Am, you made me laugh about the potato and buried treasure comment - so true.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
