Raised Garden Bed

It's happening. And I'm a little nervous. I know it's only mid-March and the sun line will change, but I hope this garden gets enough sun. Right now -- nope. I checked it out last year and planned where to place it, so I need to trust myself. Dang, anxiety.

Pictures that will load backwards ... geez.

Base is cardboard and hay
from the farm -- free filler.

Monti - always a helper

We have a landscaper helping with the soil on Sunday morning. I think I way over ordered though. No going back. I'll offer it to neighbors if I have too much left over. Spring plants going in by Monday (!!) 

I'm seeding the grow room today. I'm also working on some setup for the kids and their little gardens. It's a lot of fun. But how, you ask, can I be anxious even more? Let me tell you. 2 long trips over the spring/summer grow and we don't have irrigation set up. This could all be for naught. Hello, anxiety.

Speaking of anxiety -- I have a week of LOTS and LOTS coming up. Two night girls' weekend in the mountains with mostly women I've never met (and sharing a room). Home for a day and a 3 day trip to Asheville with my aunt. Home for a day and an all day trip to Noah's Ark with the hiking club (2 hours away). Next day is Easter -- park with the kids and Easter dinner at my aunt's (relatives are in town). 

So much in a little window.

All these thoughts kept me up last night. I kept telling myself I can worry all I want, but it has to wait until morning. That helped a little.

Full life. But I might need a break. Or is this just old patterning telling me it's too much. It's hard after being sick and still convelescing. My monthly is late so that means I have no idea when it's coming but I feel hormonal. Neither is helping my confidence to handle "so many things" in a row. Not lost on me -- every single thing is something FUN. Makes it all the more crazy.

I've been reading a book-a-day. I'll catch you up tomorrow. That'll slow down now based on the library books left, but it's been a good reading run over that last month. After this stack of library books, I need to tackle some TBR. It's out of control and no more room on the TBR shelf. I like to buy some used books for the LFL. (Hopefully, it gets some better use -- still hardly used.) That said, I've been reading a really interesting variety and it's been good.

Happy Friday. Hope you're set for a good weekend. Later gators.
