I planted five Roma tomato plants this year. I did not expect such a wonderful result, and the harvest has just begun. It looks like I'm going to can a batch of stewed tomatoes because the peppers are doing great, too.
I wonder if the pot ash I added to the soil has helped? Hmm.
I didn't expect to have this task, but I'm not complaining. I'm hoping for nine pints. That's one canner load, and it's enough for me. Being on my own has changed how much I keep in the pantry.
Beyond the garden and the yard work, I am snatching an hour here and there to write. I'm trying to get back to writing the story I want to write and to hell heck with what someone else may think about it. I started writing that way and it served me well. Then I learned more about the business end of publishing and that knowledge intruded on the muse. The stories need to be for me before they can be for anyone else. I'm like the stories. I'm a work in progress.
Last night, I was cheerfully typing away when I heard thunder. That's not odd for this time of the year. The skies darkened and the wind blew - and the power was off for almost four hours. Luckily, I have a generator which I quickly switched on. I did turn the computer off, though. It has its own backup battery, but I'd rather be safe. And today I ordered a Jackery power bank. It turned out that I didn't need the generator for the sump pump. It would have been okay to power just a fan and a lamp, hence the power bank. It comes with a solar panel, too. That should be fun.
The current WIP is at "that" point. My guys are about to take the next step in their relationship, and they're both hesitant. They want, but they don't want to screw things up. Trust me - they will get there. Maybe not this evening because I've been at the computer most of the day and I'm tired. Today was one of those days when I wrote a bit and then took short breaks to relax, clear my head, and post annoying promos on Facebook until I felt ready to write a bit more. It works for me.
Tomorrow is my late husband's family reunion. I have been ordered to attend, and I'm glad his sisters include me. I doubt I'll get any writing done tomorrow, but considering the event, it's okay. And who knows? I may see some family drama I can slip into the story. It's happened before.
